MiniMax H3 Max promo ends Oct 15: what Sume charges per second
fal lists H3 Max at promotional rates through Oct 15, then $0.05, $0.08 and $0.16 per second. Sume's rates are $0.0625, $0.10 and $0.20 either way.
The fal page for MiniMax H3 Max shows a promotion through October 15: $0.03 per second at 480p, $0.048 at 768p and $0.096 at 1080p. After that the page lists $0.05, $0.08 and $0.16 (read 2026-10-05). H3 Max accepts 5 to 15 second clips.
Sume's H3 Max rates are set from the ongoing list price, not the promotion: $0.0625 at 480p, $0.10 at 768p and $0.20 at 1080p, per second. They do not change on October 15.
Before and after
| Resolution | fal promo to Oct 15 | fal list after | Sume (list x 1.25) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | $0.03 | $0.05 | $0.0625 |
| 768p | $0.048 | $0.08 | $0.10 |
| 1080p | $0.096 | $0.16 | $0.20 |
What this means for planning
A 10 second 768p clip is $1.00 on Sume. If you call fal directly during the promotion it is $0.48, and $0.80 afterwards. The promotion is a discount from the vendor; the Sume price is steady, so a budget written today still holds after the 15th.
Compare it with plain MiniMax H3, which fal lists at $0.05 for 480p and $0.06 for 768p per second, and which Sume bills at $0.0625 and $0.075. At 768p, H3 Max costs $0.025 per second more on Sume than H3, or $0.25 for a ten second clip.
fal also lists higher H3 tiers; this post covers only the 480p, 768p and 1080p rows above. Pick the tier on the output you need, not on the promotion.
- Promotions change the vendor price, not the Sume rate.
- Re-read the fal page after October 15.
- Estimate from the Sume rate, then compare with
