$75 of AI video: seconds and minutes each Sume model buys

Seventy-five dollars buys 2,000 seconds of Omni Flash at 360p, 600 seconds of Wan 3.0 at 720p, or about 130 seconds of Seedance 2.5 at 720p. The same budget is 33 minutes of the cheapest setting and about 2 minutes of the dearest, a 15-fold spread.

This is a per-second view for someone with a fixed wallet. Sume wallet top-ups run from $10 to $1,000 (pricing page), and the balance is in USD (Usage).

Seconds per $75

Sume bills the provider list rate multiplied by 1.25 on every video model (Video Router). The figures here come from the price estimators in Sume's repository, run on 2026-10-07, and are rounded to the cent. The live numbers for your workspace are in the catalog response and on the API pricing page.

Turning seconds into clips

Divide by your clip length. At 8 seconds, $75 is 250 Omni clips at 360p, 75 Wan clips at 720p and 16 Seedance 2.5 clips at 720p, with a few cents left over. At 5 seconds, double the Wan and Omni counts.

Seconds on paper are not seconds you keep. If one take in three is rejected, divide the usable count by 1.5.

• Draft cheap, final dear: a 360p Omni draft costs a tenth of a 4K final.
• Never fund a 30-second 1080p Seedance job from a nearly empty wallet: it reserves $42.65 at submit.
• Check GET /v1/balance before a batch, then GET /v1/usage afterwards.

What is not in the table

Sume reserves the estimated amount when it accepts a job, captures it on success, and refunds the reservation if the job fails or is cancelled before capture (Usage, Generation admission). So the balance you need on hand at submit time is the price of everything in flight, not only the final total.

Avatar videos, music, speech and the Timeline join are priced separately; see the API pricing page. The video rows above are generation only.
