Powtoon Lite's 10-minute cap vs a Sume 30-minute timeline render

The caps

On Powtoon's pricing page, the plan sets the video length: Lite ($15 a month, yearly) allows 10 minutes, Professional ($40) 20 minutes and Advanced ($125) 30 minutes. A Sume Timeline 1.0 render takes an audio spine of 1 to 1,800 seconds, which is 30 minutes (1,800 divided by 60), on any plan; plans on Sume limit concurrency, not length.

Side by side

Cost to render

Timeline reserves $0.10 per output minute, so a full 30 minute render reserves $3.00 (30 x $0.10), and a 10 minute one $1.00. The plan call is an unbilled preflight: it returns duration_seconds, segment_count, billable_minutes and estimated_cost_usd_micros without creating a job.

Timeline assembles prepared clips and one audio track. It does not write the script or draw scenes, so the clips come from other Sume jobs or imports first.
