One 6-second Omni clip a day for 30 days: $22.50 at 720p on Sume

Posting one 6-second AI clip every day for 30 days is 180 seconds of video, which costs $22.50 at 720p on Sume's gemini-omni-flash-1.1 row, or $0.75 a day. At 360p it is $6.75, at 1080p $33.75 and at 4K $67.50. The sum is days x seconds x rate, and the rate is Sume's provider list times 1.25.

The month, priced

Each clip is 6 seconds, inside Omni's 3 to 10 second range, in 16:9 or 9:16. For a daily vertical clip, 9:16 at 720p is the usual starting point. The table has the per-clip and the 30-day figure for all four resolutions.

What Google's list would say

Google's pricing page lists Veo 3.1 Fast at $0.10 a second at 720p and Lite at $0.05, which for 180 seconds is $18.00 and $9.00. Those preview ids end on October 22, 2026, per Google's deprecations page, and Google's replacement is Gemini Omni Flash, whose effective price Google states as about $0.10 a second at 720p, or $18.24 for 180 seconds using its 5,792 tokens per second and $17.50 per million tokens. The Sume figure is higher because it is the provider list plus 25 percent, and it is available as a bare model id on one API.

• 180 s x 5,792 tokens = 1,042,560 tokens; 1.04256 x $17.50 = $18.24 at Google's 720p token rate.
• 180 s x $0.125 = $22.50 on Sume at 720p.

Making the month cheaper

Test the idea at 360p and render only the keepers at 720p. If one day in three needs a redo, 30 clips at 360p is $6.75 and 10 re-renders at 720p is 10 x $0.75 = $7.50, so $14.25 in total, well under the all-720p figure with the same number of retries priced in. The loop is the one used in any creative budget: cheap look, then price the pixels you keep.

Because the clips have native audio that cannot be turned off, plan the soundtrack once and keep prompts consistent from day to day.

Running it hands-off

A scheduler that submits one job a day and stores the result is a few lines of the polling code in the Sume docs. Set a fixed Idempotency-Key per date, such as the ISO date, so that a retried run returns the same job. Read usage.cost into a log and stop the schedule if the sum for the month passes the number above.

Cent rounding on 30 jobs

Each job is billed in whole cents, rounded up. A 6-second 720p clip is exactly $0.75, so there is no rounding at that rung. A 6-second 360p clip is 6 x $0.0375 = $0.225 and is billed as $0.23, so 30 of them are $6.90, not $6.75. A 6-second 1080p clip is $1.125, billed as $1.13, so 30 are $33.90. Budget the cent-rounded figure when you run one job a day, since the rounding applies to every job.
