HappyHorse 1.0 at 1080p: $0.28 on fal, $0.24 on Alibaba, Sume options

HappyHorse 1.0 costs $0.28 per second at 1080p on fal and $0.24 per second on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio in Singapore (both read 2026-10-07). HappyHorse is not a model id in Sume's video catalog, so you cannot call it with a Sume key. The nearest 1080p rows that Sume does list are Wan 3.0 at $0.25 per second and MiniMax H3 Max at $0.20 per second, both after Sume's 1.25 margin.

Those three are not the same model, so the price is a starting point for a test, not a substitute claim.

Where HappyHorse is sold, and for how much

fal lists text-to-video, image-to-video, video edit, and reference-to-video endpoints, with a 3 to 15 second range and joint audio-video output in one pass. Alibaba's page for the image-to-video model lists per-second prices by region.

The 1080p rows you can call on Sume

Sume bills the provider list price times 1.25 on every Video Router row. Wan 3.0 is listed at $0.05, $0.10, and $0.20 per second for 480p, 720p, and 1080p, which becomes $0.25 per second at 1080p on Sume. MiniMax H3 Max is listed at $0.16 per second for 1080p, which becomes $0.20 per second.

• Wan 3.0 (wan-3.0): 2 to 30 seconds, text, image with end frame, and reference input, with audio.
• MiniMax H3 Max (minimax-h3-max): 5 to 15 seconds, native stereo audio, and 1080p that is a latent refinement of native 768p.
• Seedance 2.5 (seedance-2.5): 4 to 30 seconds at 480p, 720p, and 1080p.

A 10-second 1080p clip in each place

On fal, HappyHorse costs $2.80. On Alibaba Singapore it costs $2.40. On Sume, Wan 3.0 costs $2.50 and MiniMax H3 Max costs $2.00. H3 Max 1080p is a latent refinement of native 768p rather than native 1080p, so judge the frames, not only the price.

What you give up by not using HappyHorse

You give up HappyHorse's own look, and its seven-language native lip sync that fal describes. Sume's catalog does not list a model with those claims. Run one 5-second take of the same prompt on each candidate, compare, and decide. Which ids exist is listed by GET /v1/videos/models, so check it before you plan.
