Runway plan credits as Wan3 720p seconds, vs the same dollars on Sume
Runway Standard, Pro and Max buy 62.5, 225 and 950 seconds of Wan3 720p a month; the same $12, $28 and $76 buy 96, 224 and 608 seconds on Sume's Wan 3.0.
On annual billing, Runway Standard's 625 credits are 62.5 seconds of Wan3 at 720p (10 credits per second), Pro's 2,250 credits are 225 seconds and Max's 9,500 are 950 seconds. The same dollars on Sume's Wan 3.0 at $0.125 per second buy 96, 224 and 608 seconds, so Runway's bigger plans give more seconds per dollar.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Wan3 720p seconds | Plan $ per second | Sume seconds for the same dollars |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $12/month (annual) | 625 | 62.5 s | $0.1920 | 96 s |
| Pro | $28/month (annual) | 2,250 | 225 s | $0.1244 | 224 s |
| Max | $76/month (annual) | 9,500 | 950 s | $0.0800 | 608 s |
What the table assumes
Runway lists Wan3 at 5, 10 and 20 credits per second at 480p, 720p and 1080p on its API pricing page, and plan prices and credits on its pricing page. Annual prices are the lower of the two billing options; credits are monthly.
What Sume does differently
Sume bills wallet balance per job at the rate on the rate card, with no monthly credit bundle in these figures. The 720p Wan 3.0 rate is in the Video Router docs and the catalog.
Pick by volume
Under about 100 seconds a month the Sume wallet is the cheaper way in; beyond about 225 seconds a month Runway Pro's per-second price is lower on this one model. Check each vendor's page before you commit: both change prices.
