MiniMax H3 pricing per second on Sume, by resolution
What a MiniMax H3 or H3 Max clip costs on Sume: a per-second rate by resolution, reserved on submit. Rates for 480p, 768p, 1080p and 2K, with 10-second totals.
MiniMax H3 (minimax-h3) on Sume is billed per output second by resolution: $0.0625 at 480p and $0.075 at 768p, and MiniMax H3 Max (minimax-h3-max) is $0.0625, $0.10 and $0.20 at 480p, 768p and 1080p. Every model is billed at the provider's list price × 1.25.
The rates come from Sume's pricing code, and the billing rule from the Video generation docs, read 2026-09-29. Sume adds a 5.5% agent fee by default on top.
How much is one clip?
Seconds times the rate for the resolution you ask for. The amount is reserved when you submit.
| Resolution | `minimax-h3` per second | 10 s | `minimax-h3-max` per second | 10 s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | $0.0625 | $0.63 | $0.0625 | $0.63 |
| 768p | $0.075 | $0.75 | $0.10 | $1.00 |
| 1080p | Not offered | Not offered | $0.20 | $2.00 |
| 2K | $0.1625 | $1.63 | Not offered | Not offered |
Which resolution do I get if I send none?
In current code the default is 768p, the native tier, and the default length is 5 seconds. So a request with only a prompt is priced as 5 seconds at 768p, not at 2K.
Is there any charge that is not per second?
On minimax-h3 reference-to-video, each reference image after the first five adds a charge; see the reference image surcharge. The minimax-h3-max rate has no such add-on in code.
Does the provider's own price match?
Not exactly, and that is by design: Sume's rate is the provider list multiplied by 1.25. MiniMax's announcement gives no price table, so this post quotes no vendor rates.
