Sora is shut down: should you use Veo 3.1 directly or through Higgsfield?

Direct from Google is cheaper per Veo clip: an 8-second Veo 3.1 clip is 100 Flow credits (about $2.00 on Google AI Pro) against 80 Higgsfield credits (about $3.44 on Ultra monthly). Higgsfield wins only if you also need Kling or Seedance, shared team seats or client-transfer terms. Both checked Nov 3, 2026.
