PixVerse C1 API price per second, 360p to 1080p, and Sume options

PixVerse C1 on fal is priced per output second from $0.03 at 360p without audio to $0.12 at 1080p with audio, and it makes clips up to 15 seconds at up to 1080p with optional native audio. PixVerse announced C1 on April 7, 2026 as a film-production model. Sume does not list a PixVerse id, so if you want a 15-second 1080p clip with sound on Sume, the nearest rows are wan-3.0, minimax-h3-max, seedance-2.5 and kling-3.

Sources, all read 2026-10-01: fal's C1 text-to-video and image-to-video pages, PixVerse's announcement, and Sume's Video Generation and Video Router docs.

What does PixVerse C1 cost on fal?

fal's page gives one price per second per resolution, with audio as a surcharge of $0.010 to $0.025. fal's own example is that $1 buys about 33 seconds at 360p without audio or about 10 seconds at 1080p, both without audio.

Which Sume models reach 15 seconds?

Sume's docs say seedance-2.5 accepts 4 to 30 seconds at 480p, 720p and 1080p, wan-3.0 accepts 2 to 30 seconds, and minimax-h3 accepts 5 to 15 seconds at native 480p and 768p. minimax-h3-max covers 5 to 15 seconds at 480p, 768p and 1080p, where 1080p is a latent refinement of a native 768p render. Every other catalog model is capped at 15 seconds. All of these are billed at provider list times 1.25.

How should you read this?

PixVerse C1 at 15 seconds and 1080p with audio is about $1.80 on fal, roughly half of what the same length costs on the two Sume rows above. That gap is the combination of a different vendor price and Sume's 1.25 house rate, and it says nothing about quality. If PixVerse is the model you need, call it where it is sold; if you want one API for several vendors, price the Sume rows against your actual clip lengths.

The H3 Max page shows both a 50 percent launch price and the standard price and gives two different end dates for the promotion, so the standard rate is used here. Resolution-specific Sume rates live in pricing_skus, and the Wan 3.0 and H3 Max list figures in the table can change.
