Open-house reminder: a 10-second avatar clip at $1.84, $2.45 or $5.50

A 10-second open-house reminder on Sume Avatar 1.0 costs $1.84 on standard, $2.45 on plus and $5.50 on max when you send no product image. That is about 28 words at Sume's duration estimate of 2.8 words a second, enough for the address, the time and one reason to come.

The rates are per second from the Avatar Video price table (read 2026-10-06). The duration window is 4 to 60 seconds, so 10 seconds is well inside it.

The script that fits

Twenty-eight words is short. Spend them on the date and time first, the address second and a single hook third. Leave the floor plan, the school district and the financing details for the listing page.

Say numbers the way people hear them. Write the time out in words if the voice stumbles on digits, and listen to the preview before you pay for the full render.

Check before you render

Create a preview first. It produces the first-frame still only, so you can see whether the avatar and background suit a property announcement before the full render starts. A quality override at generation time changes only the final render, so you can approve on one tier and render on another.

Pick the ratio for where it will run: 9:16 for Stories and Reels, 1:1 or 3:4 for a feed post, 16:9 for a listing page. The five ratios Sume supports are 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 4:3 and 16:9.

Making a series

If you send a reminder every week, keep the script skeleton fixed and change only the date, time and one detail. That keeps review quick: you read one sentence that changed, not a new script. Run each week's preview, check the first frame and render on the tier you settled on.

The cost does not rise with the number of reminders beyond the clip price, so a monthly budget is the per-clip figure times the count. Credits and plan terms can change what you pay, so confirm in your own account.

Tradeoffs

An avatar reminder is a presenter reading a script, not your agent in the house. It suits a recurring notice where speed and consistency matter. For a walkthrough, shoot the house, and use Sume for captions and music instead.

If a clip says anything regulated, such as a price claim or a financing term, have a person read the script before the render. Sume will voice whatever you send.
