Sandeep ,
We are in need of just 2 videos right now – and nothing thereafter .
After 30 Days / $ 39 of MANUS gets over, we have no more use , for ANY video generation service / subscription
I am sure that the “ No of Credits “ required for creating those 2 videos , are amply covered by those 3900 credits available to us during next 30 days from MANUS - after which we will STOP further subscription
After those 2 videos get generated and uploaded on Google Drive ( I suppose , cannot be uploaded on Big Rock server because of GPU requirement ) , we don’t need MANUS
So , one time FIXED COST ends after one month. Having already incurred this one time cost , question is :
“ Why go for Google and pay $ 20 – another FIXED COST – for one month ? “
We should do this ( spend another $ 20 ) , ONLY if the video quality of MANUS is terrible – not worth attaching with our emails . If it is only marginally inferior , as compared to Google, then there is no point in incurring additional cost of $ 20
That brings us to the question of RECURRING COST ( I suppose GPU support cost of Google Drive )
There is no escaping that as long as we incorporate that ( Google Drive ) LINK in our emails
Every time a recipient of our email clicks that link – and the Video plays - , I suppose Google Drive will charge us > How much per PLAY ?
That “ Per Play Cost “ will decide whether I send those emails to 10 persons or to 100 persons !
If “ per play cost “ is ( say ) only 10 paise , then I may even consider uploading those videos on hemenparekh.in !
After you have the answers , pl phone me
Hcp
PS : In the meantime , I presume your are continuing your efforts to come out with better videos ( both emails – including SEEM email where lady is watching big TV screen )
With regards,

Subject: Comparison: MANUS.im vs Google Veo/Flow
Dear Sir
Please find the Apple-to-Apple Comparison: MANUS.im vs Google Veo/Flow
In my opinion, Google AI Designer offers the best overall experience due to advantage of Superior Output Quality: Google Veo delivers cinematic 1080p to 4K quality with lip-sync and ambient audio.
Criteria | MANUS.im | Google Veo / Flow (via AI Studio) |
Video Generation Access | Via subscription + credit-based model | Via AI Studio subscription + token-based model |
Credit/Token Usage | Credits are consumed per video generation | Tokens are used per second of video generated |
Credit/Token Usage | Credits consumed per video (e.g., ~1–3 credits per 30–60s) | Tokens consumed per second (e.g., 1 second = 1 token) |
Download Option |
|
|
Hosting & Sharing | Self-host or upload to Google Drive or other platforms | Seamless Google Drive hosting and shareable link generation |
Output Quality | Good quality depending on plan & prompts | High-quality (Veo 3): up to 1080p–4K, cinematic AI |
Max Video Length | Depends on credits and plan (typically 30–60 seconds) | Veo/Flow: up to 60 seconds+ with advanced editing tools |
Recurring Costs | Yes – Credits required per video, even with subscription | Yes – Usage is metered per second even with subscription |
Ease of Use | Simple interface; limited automation | Intuitive UI (Flow), timeline editor, auto scene transitions |
AI Capabilities | Basic text-to-video with limited scene dynamics | Advanced AI prompting, lip sync, ambient sound, multi-scene stitching |
Custom Branding | Limited (depending on plan) | Supported (in Flow for Pro/Ultra tiers) |
Best For | Budget-conscious, one-off or short-form educational content | High-quality, repeat video production for marketing or content creators |
Pricing Estimate | ~$39/month (credit-based) + extra credits if needed | $20/month (Pro) or $249/month (Ultra) + per-second token usage |
