60-second avatar talking video: standard, plus and max cost
A 60-second Sume Avatar 1.0 talking video costs $11.04 at standard, $14.70 at plus and $33.00 at max (no product image).
A 60-second Avatar 1.0 talking video costs $11.04 at quality: standard, $14.70 at plus and $33.00 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.
| Quality | No product | With product |
|---|---|---|
| standard | $11.04 | $11.64 |
| plus | $14.70 | $15.48 |
| max | $33.00 | $34.80 |
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 60 seconds.
curl -X POST https://api.sume.com/v1/avatar-1.0/talking-video \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: avatar-60s-001" \
-d '{
"avatar_handle": "your-avatar",
"script": "Your script here.",
"quality": "standard",
"aspect_ratio": "9:16"
