Sume Music 1.0 charges a fixed price for each accepted generation, whatever the prompt or the use, so a set of tracks for a channel, a film score or a creative test costs that price times the number of tracks. The table gives every set these posts priced.
Worked example: 20 AI music tracks for a 20-video channel: $2.50 on Sume
20 tracks for a 20-video channel cost $2.50 on Sume Music 1.0: a fixed $0.125 for each accepted generation.
Sume's music docs (read 2026-10-06) say the price does not change with prompt length or optional image conditioning. The rate card prices it as the fal list price of $0.10 per audio (Lyria 3.5) at the standard margin.
How does the cost scale with retakes?
A rejected track is a new generation, so budget for retakes.
| Retakes per keeper | Generations | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | $2.50 |
| 2 | 40 | $5.00 |
| 3 | 60 | $7.50 |
What should I check?
Music is generated asynchronously like other jobs; poll or use a webhook.
- The price is per accepted generation, not per second of audio.
- Pin the prompt tempo and mood so retakes converge.
- Confirm the endpoint and limits in the docs before a batch.
