A 20-second renewal reminder from one Sume avatar for 500 accounts: price on standard, plus and max, queue and idempotency tips, and what to avoid saying.

Five hundred 20-second renewal reminders cost $1840.00 on Sume standard, $2450.00 on plus and $5500.00 on max with no product image, because each clip is $3.68, $4.90 or $11.00. The render is async, so you submit in waves and poll or read results later. The route is POST /v1/avatar-1.0/talking-video; limits are in the avatar video docs.

One template, 500 first names

The only per-account words should be the first name and the renewal date. Everything else is the same script, so you review one preview and render the rest. Do not put plan prices or contract terms in a clip that you cannot recall: a hosted video is not a place to state terms.

  • Idempotency key per account id and renewal cycle, for example renew-<account>-2026-11.
  • Submit in waves; if the queue answers 429 queue full, wait and resubmit with the same key.
  • Keep a table of account id to job id so you can find any clip later.

Cost table

Rates are from Sume's per-second card.
