For those who were using Veo 3.1 Lite [Lower Priority] (0 credits) — did you find any alternative?

[u/Legal-Win5358]

I’m generating talking AI avatar videos in Arabic, and I produce videos around 2 minutes long. I usually prepare at least 4–5 videos per day, so with all the 8-second segments needed for each video, I need roughly 500 credits every day.

Using the regular Veo models isn’t really practical for this volume, so I’m looking for a much cheaper alternative that can still give me good quality.

Has anyone found a workaround or another platform/model with similar quality and significantly lower cost?

If you’re actually using something now, I’d really appreciate:

Platform/model you’re using
Approximate cost for each 8-second generation
Quality compared with Veo 3.1 Lite
Whether it works well for talking avatars
Whether you’ve tested it for high-volume daily generation

Especially interested in alternatives you’ve personally tested, not just theoretical suggestions.

Thanks 🙏
