13-second talking reply: Fabric 720p $2.4375 vs H3 Max 768p $1.30

A 13-second spoken reply on a still image costs $2.4375 on VEED Fabric at 720p (13 x $0.1875), or $1.30 at 480p (13 x $0.10). MiniMax H3 Max Lip Sync costs $0.8125 at 480p, $1.30 at 768p and $2.60 at 1080p for the same 13 seconds, and 13 seconds is inside its 5 to 14.8 second window.

Price table for 13 seconds

Both routes take the same body: a still image (or avatar handle), a Sume-hosted audio URL under 10 MB, and the measured duration. Both bill per whole audio second.

Reading the table

At about the same price, H3 Max at 768p and Fabric at 480p both cost $1.30, so the choice is between a 768p H3 Max clip and a 480p Fabric clip. The cheapest option is H3 Max at 480p, and the most expensive is H3 Max at 1080p. The catalog does not tell you which looks better; run the same still and audio through each at 3 to 5 seconds before you pick one for a batch.

Limits to keep in mind

H3 Max audio must be 5 to 14.8 seconds. Fabric goes up to 300 seconds. If your reply is 16 seconds, H3 Max refuses it and Fabric takes it at 16 x $0.1875 = $3.00 at 720p. A thousand 13-second replies at H3 Max 480p would be 1,000 x $0.8125 = $812.50, a figure worth confirming against your balance before launching a batch.

What changes at scale

For a support bot that answers with a 13-second video, the per-reply cost is the whole story. At 10,000 replies a month, H3 Max at 480p costs 10,000 x $0.8125 = $8,125, Fabric at 480p costs 10,000 x $1.30 = $13,000, and Fabric at 720p costs 10,000 x $2.4375 = $24,375. Those numbers assume every reply is exactly 13 seconds and that you accept the lowest resolution.

Because both routes accept the same body, you can switch by changing the URL. Keep the model choice in configuration, and log the route and resolution with each job. If your replies vary in length, remember that H3 Max refuses anything over 14.8 seconds, so route longer replies to Fabric automatically.
