H3 Max Recast vs Higgsfield Genjutsu: 10-second cost on Sume

For a 10 second source clip, Sume's h3-max-recast costs $3.75 at 768p and $5.625 at 1080p, while higgsfield-genjutsu costs $3.975 at 480p and $8.5125 at 720p. They solve different problems, so the price gap is only part of the choice.

Per the Video Router docs, Recast swaps the people in a source video_url for one to four reference photos at 768p or 1080p and accepts 5 to 30 seconds. Genjutsu is Motion Transfer, taking a video_url plus one to eight reference images at 480p or 720p for 4 to 30 seconds, and is listed only when its provider is configured.

Per second and per clip

Sume figures are provider list times 1.25: Recast lists at $0.30 and $0.45 per second, Genjutsu at $0.318 and $0.681.

A 30 second source

At the 30 second maximum, Recast is 30 x $0.375 = $11.25 at 768p and $16.875 at 1080p; Genjutsu is 30 x $0.3975 = $11.925 at 480p and $25.5375 at 720p.

For ten 10 second sources, Recast at 768p costs $37.50 and Genjutsu at 720p costs $85.13, so the 720p Genjutsu route costs about 2.3 times as much per second of output. Check whether Genjutsu is available in your workspace before planning around it.
