Veo

Maker
Google DeepMind
Pricing
Freemium

Editor's take

Strong on cinematic movement, camera control and native audio, and convenient if you already work inside Gemini or Flow. The catch is that the best quality sits behind paid tiers, so the free experience understates it.

Our reading of who this suits, based on the sources above. Opinion, offered to help you decide - not a lab result.

Sora

Maker

Freemium

Editor's take

The one to look at when you want sound and speech generated together with the picture, which is still uncommon. Availability and clip length are the limits - go in expecting a capable instrument rather than a finished studio.
