Overview

Google Flow, launched in 2025 and formerly known as VideoFX, is Google's creative studio app for building out video narratives scene by scene, positioned as the storytelling interface layered on top of underlying generation models like Veo, also covered in this directory, rather than a separate video-generation model itself.

That app-versus-model distinction matters directly when comparing it to Veo: Flow is where a creator assembles and refines a story across multiple scenes and shots inside Google's own interface, while Veo is the underlying model also accessible independently through Google's developer API for teams building generation into their own products.

There's no free plan; pricing starts around $20 a month. For a creator who wants a guided, scene-by-scene storytelling interface built directly on Google's own models, rather than raw API access or a separate developer integration, Google Flow's app-first, narrative-building design addresses that directly.
