Fund the Sume wallet in four top-ups through Black Friday
A 96-clip Black Friday plan on Sume costs $381.17469 in four phases. Four top-ups timed to the phases keep the balance above each in-flight hold.

A 96-clip Seedance 2.5 plan for Black Friday on November 27 costs $381.17469 across four phases. Rather than funding all of it today, you can top up before each phase: $48.36189, then $138.672, $138.672 and $55.4688.
The on-demand range for wallet purchases is $10 to $1,000 per the pricing FAQ, so each phase fits in a single top-up. This post is the cash-flow view of the four-phase plan.
The schedule
Phases use vertical clips: 30 six-second drafts at 480p, 24 ten-second finals at 720p, 30 eight-second offer variants at 720p and 12 eight-second Cyber Week clips at 720p. The last column is the running total spent.
| Top up on | Phase | Amount | Running total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 4 | Hook drafts | $48.36189 | $48.36189 |
| Oct 18 | Product finals | $138.672 | $187.03389 |
| Nov 8 | Offer variants | $138.672 | $325.70589 |
| Nov 22 | Cyber Week refresh | $55.4688 | $381.17469 |
Why top up per phase
A job reserves its estimate at submit. The balance must cover whatever is in flight, not the whole campaign. Funding per phase keeps cash flexible if the first drafts show the idea is wrong and you change course.
If a phase is short, a job returns 402 insufficient credits and does not render. Add a retake margin of about 10 percent to each top-up.
With margin
Adding 10 percent to each phase gives $53.19808, $152.5392, $152.5392 and $61.015681, totaling $419.292161. Unused balance stays in the wallet for the next campaign.
Check the credits docs for what happens to a balance and how a failed job refunds.
Notes
- Re-run the arithmetic if you change a clip count; each phase line is count x clip price.
- The dates come from the 54 days between October 4 and November 27, 2026.
- Rates can change, so check pricing before each top-up.
