Google Flow vs Vidu
Both handle Creative shorts, product and ad content. Below we compare only what the official sites publish: prices, annual billing, models and credit rules. We don't judge whose output is better — we have no side-by-side samples to publish, so it would be a guess.
Which to choose, and when
- To try one month on monthly billing: Google Flow is cheaper, Plus at $4.99/mo; the cheapest on Vidu is Standard at $10/mo.
- If you want to know what the credits buy before paying: Google Flow publishes per-second model rates, worked out on its tool page; for Vidu we have not found official rates that allow this.
- If you need a China entry point: we confirmed Vidu has one (China website); Google Flow's China channel is unconfirmed, which is not the same as absent. An entry point does not mean the same plans or prices.
There is no "better overall" verdict. Each point above fits one situation; choose by whichever matters most in yours.

Credit rules
Google Flow
Monthly Flow credits do not roll over. Veo 3.1 Fast and Lite cost half as many credits on the Ultra plans, and the table below works each plan out separately.
Vidu
Subscription credits are issued monthly and valid for 30 days. The developer API is billed separately and not included in the subscription.
Credits are not a shared currency: one Google Flow credit and one Vidu credit buy different things, so the counts cannot be compared directly.
Which models it offers
Google Flow
From each tool's own official pages (pricing or model pages). Which models a plan includes changes between versions; each model page gives its source and when it was last confirmed.
