15-second 1080p AI video on Sume: $2.10 to $21.33, by model
A 15 s 1080p clip costs $2.10 on Kling 3 (no audio) up to $21.33 on Seedance 2.5. Arithmetic from catalog list prices x 1.25, with the seconds worked out.
The short answer
A 15-second 1080p AI video costs $2.10 to $21.33 on Sume, depending on the model you pin. The cheapest 1080p option is Kling 3 without audio at $2.10; the dearest is Seedance 2.5 at $21.33. That is a 10.2x spread for the same length and resolution, so the model choice matters more than any other setting.
Sume bills the provider list price times 1.25, rounded up to whole cents for each job (the catalog formula reads "list x 1.25, ceil usd cents"). The amounts below come from that formula, applied to the catalog as of 2026-10-08.
Price of a 15-second 1080p clip, model by model
Each row is one clip. The per-second figure is the clip price divided by 15, so you can compare it with per-second price lists elsewhere.
| Model | Clip price | Per second |
|---|---|---|
| Kling 3 (mute) | $2.10 | $0.140 |
| Kling 3 (audio) | $3.15 | $0.210 |
| MiniMax H3 Max | $3.00 | $0.200 |
| Wan 3.0 | $3.75 | $0.250 |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | $6.38 | $0.425 |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | $10.21 | $0.681 |
| Seedance 2.0 | $12.76 | $0.851 |
| Seedance 2.5 | $21.33 | $1.422 |
The arithmetic for the per-second models
Four of these models list a flat price per output second, so you can check the numbers by hand.
- Kling 3, no audio: $0.112 x 15 s = $1.68; x 1.25 = $2.1 = $2.10.
- Kling 3, audio on: $0.168 x 15 s = $2.52; x 1.25 = $3.15 = $3.15.
- MiniMax H3 Max at 1080p: $0.16 x 15 s = $2.40; x 1.25 = $3 = $3.00.
- Wan 3.0 at 1080p: $0.2 x 15 s = $3.00; x 1.25 = $3.75 = $3.75.
Why Seedance rows look different
The Seedance family is priced per 1,000 video tokens (Seedance 2.5 lists $0.0214 per 1,000 tokens), and the token count depends on resolution and duration. Sume computes the billable amount for the exact request, so use the table value instead of a per-second estimate. At 1080p, 16:9 and 9:16 cost the same for Seedance 2.5 (both $21.33 for 15 s).
If 1080p is a delivery requirement rather than a preference, Seedance 2.0 Mini at $6.38 is the cheapest Seedance row, and Kling 3 and MiniMax H3 Max undercut every Seedance tier. Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 reaches 1080p, but only up to 10 s per clip, so it cannot make a 15 s clip in one job.
Caveats before you budget
These are catalog prices for one successful clip. Retries, extra takes and any 2K/4K upscale are separate jobs. Limits differ by model, so read the live catalog from GET /v1/videos/models before you hard-code a duration. The Video generation page lists the request fields, and the Video Router page lists per-model limits.
