Real-estate listing video in three aspect ratios: $0.30 on Sume

A real-estate agent needs the same listing tour in three shapes: vertical for Reels and Shorts, landscape for the website and YouTube, square for feeds. On the page read today, Biteable's Pro plan is $29 monthly or $15 yearly with a 10-minute video limit, and Premium is $99 monthly or $49 yearly with 20 minutes and 3 users. A 45-second tour is far under either limit, so the limit is not the problem; the price of making three versions is.

The build on Sume

The Timeline docs set a default output of 1080x1920, accept output width and height as even numbers from 256 to 2160, and hold stills as static frames. A listing tour from 8 to 10 photos is therefore one Timeline request per aspect ratio, with the same photos, voiceover and soundtrack.

The rest of the tour

Add the parts once, not three times: a 700-character voiceover at $0.0475 per 1,000 characters is about $0.033, and a generated music track is $0.125. The batch total is about $0.46 for three finished files, using the voice and music once and the render three times. Photos are yours, so there is no image-generation spend.

Where Biteable still wins

If you want a template editor, brand kit and drag-and-drop scenes for a person who will never call an API, a $15 to $29 subscription is a better fit than a JSON request. Sume's route earns its place when the same tour is produced for 30 listings a month by a script: 30 tours at $0.46 is $13.80, with no per-seat charge.

Checklist for a listing batch

• Use photos at least as large as the largest output, 1920 pixels on the long edge for 1080p.
• Keep the narration under 20,000 characters per request; a 45-second script is a few hundred.
• Check each render's first frame, since vertical and square crops can cut off the edges of a wide room photo.
• Do not state a price or availability in the video that is not in the listing.
