A 15-second vertical Short at 1080p: $2.81 to $21.32 by Sume model

At 1080p, a 15-second vertical Short costs $2.81 on Gemini Omni Flash 1.1, $3.00 on MiniMax H3 Max, $3.75 on Wan 3.0 and $21.32 on Seedance 2.5, from the Sume price tool on 2026-10-09. Omni is cheapest but tops out at 10 seconds a job, so it needs two clips and a Timeline join.

Shorts accept 1080p at most (YouTube Help, read 2026-10-09), so these are the highest-resolution fifteen seconds you can usefully buy.

Side by side

Wan 3.0, H3 Max and Seedance 2.5 each take 15 seconds in one job. Omni Flash 1.1 takes 3 to 10 seconds, so the plan is 10 + 5.

Single job request

For the one-job models, the request is the same shape with a different model id. Seedance 2.5 is token-priced, so its per-second rate is the 1080p value for 9:16 as returned by the tool.

What the total hides

• Omni with the join is $2.91, still the cheapest, but you pay for a visible cut at second 10.
• H3 Max's 1080p is a refinement from native 768p; Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5 list 1080p as a resolution tier.
• MiniMax H3 (not Max) lists only 480p and 768p, so it is not in this table.
• Seedance 2.5 costs about 5.7 times Wan 3.0 per second at 1080p (1.42155 / 0.25); the price gap is the first thing to test against your own prompts.
