40 background tracks of 1.5 minutes cost $5.00 on Sume and $9.00 on ElevenLabs. The two are billed differently: Sume charges $0.125 per generation whatever the prompt, ElevenLabs charges $0.15 per minute of music.
Two billing units
The Sume catalog lists Music generation as a fixed $0.125 per audio and says the price does not vary by prompt or image input. ElevenLabs lists music generation at $0.15 per minute (read 2026-10-09). Per-generation pricing means the Sume total depends on how many generations you run, not on their length.
| Service | Unit | Units | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sume Music 1.0 | $0.125 per generation | 40 | $5.000 |
| ElevenLabs music | $0.15 per minute | 60 | $9.000 |
Where the lines cross
The comparison depends on length. Sume's flat price is below ElevenLabs once a track would run longer than 50 seconds at ElevenLabs' rate, because $0.125 buys that many seconds there. Check the length Sume returns for your prompt in the Music docs before you plan on it.
