Veo 3.1 vs WAN 3.0
Which should you choose: Veo 3.1 or WAN 3.0?
WAN 3.0 is the better default on cost: 2 credits versus 16 credits for a typical clip. Pay the Veo 3.1 premium when its output on your specific prompts is visibly better — run one prompt through both and check.
Veo 3.1 (4 credits / second) and WAN 3.0 (from 0.5 credits / second) both run in Made, so this comparison uses the prices on Made's Generate button. A typical clip costs 16 credits on Veo 3.1 and 2 credits on WAN 3.0 — a 8x gap. The specs below come from the same catalog Made's generator runs on.
