Music Router: 24 takes cost $3.00, every model charges $0.125

Every Music Router model charges the fixed Music price per audio generation, which is $0.125 on Sume. Twenty-four takes cost 24 x $0.125 = $3.00, so you can choose a model by sound rather than by price.

What the docs say

The Music Router guide states that every model charges the fixed Music price per audio generation and that the catalog lists the provider list price per model for reference. The Music 1.0 guide gives the fixed price as $0.125 per accepted generation and notes that Music 1.0 requests now resolve through the router.

Budgeting takes

Pick a number of takes per scene, then multiply.

Where the saving is

Because the price does not move with the model, the only way to spend less is to generate fewer takes. Write a clear brief, with length, sections and exclusions in the positive prompt, as the guides advise, so the first take is usable more often. If one in three takes is kept, each kept bed costs $0.375.

Remember that a failed job is released rather than captured, per the usage statuses, so only accepted generations count against the figure.

Prompts that waste fewer takes

Because take count is the only lever, spend effort on the brief. The guides recommend controlling length in the prompt, such as a 2-minute track, and using section markers such as [0:00-0:30] Intro: .... Put exclusions in the positive prompt, for example no vocals and no spoken word.

A clear brief with two or three takes per scene costs $0.25 to $0.375 per scene. Ten scenes at three takes is $3.75. Use an idempotency key per take so a retry does not buy a second track.

• Price: $0.125 per accepted generation.
• Prompt limit: 1 to 5000 characters.
• Failed jobs release their reservation.

Library math

A content team that wants 50 reusable beds, with three takes each, spends 150 x $0.125 = $18.75 and keeps 50. Repeating this monthly for a year is $225.00. Compare with the cost of one avatar video of 30 seconds on plus at $7.35: a year of beds costs about 30 such clips.

These numbers assume no failed jobs. Failed jobs are released, so they do not add to the total.
