15-second avatar talking video: standard, plus and max cost

A 15-second Avatar 1.0 talking video costs $2.76 at quality: standard, $3.6750 at plus and $8.25 at max when you send no product image. The per-second tier rates are $0.184, $0.245 and $0.55.

Sume's avatar video docs (read 2026-10-06) accept scripts that plan to 4 to 60 seconds, default to plus, and return 720p at 9:16 unless you set another aspect_ratio.

What does adding a product image cost?

A product_image raises the per-second rate, so the same length costs a little more.

How do I request it?

Send avatar_handle and a script (or video_inputs, not both). The planned duration is estimated from the script, so write for about 15 seconds.
