250 product videos of 6 seconds on Seedance 2.5 at 480p: $403.02

A 6-second Seedance 2.5 clip at 480p is $1.612 on Sume, so 250 product videos are $403.02. At 720p they are $866.70. The calculation uses fal's $0.0214 per 1,000 video tokens (read 2026-10-09), 864 x 496 pixels at 480p and Sume's list x 1.25.

What is the price per clip and per batch?

Does the aspect ratio change it?

At 480p, 16:9 and 9:16 are the same size in Sume's table, 100,440 tokens for 10 seconds. A 1:1 clip is 96,000 tokens for 10 seconds, so a 250-clip square batch is about 4.4% cheaper at 480p.

Would Wan 3.0 be cheaper?

On price, yes: 6 seconds of Wan 3.0 at 480p is $0.375, so 250 clips are $93.75 (fal $0.05 per second read 2026-10-09, x 1.25). That is a different model, so run ten of your products through both before you decide.

How do I keep a 250-clip run safe?

• Submit in waves and watch the wallet; the Video Router reserves the price at submit.
• Run five clips first and multiply: $8.06 for the test.
• Use Idempotency-Key per product so a retry returns the original job.

How do I split the budget?

A common plan is to draft all 250 at 480p ($403.02), then finish the best 50 at 720p ($173.34). The total is $576.36, against $866.70 for 250 clips at 720p straight away.

The saving only holds if the 480p draft shows you enough to choose. If your products need fine detail to judge, draft at 720p and accept the higher number.

For a smaller start, 25 product clips at 480p are $40.30 and at 720p $86.67. The token formula is linear in seconds, so a 4-second clip, the minimum Sume accepts for Seedance 2.5, is two thirds of a 6-second one: $1.075 at 480p. Cutting each clip from 6 to 4 seconds takes $134.34 off the 250-clip 480p batch.

Keep a record of the resolution and duration you chose for each product, because a later reorder at another tier will not match the first batch's price. A simple sheet with the product, tier, seconds and the amount charged is enough to rebuild the total.
