On Sume, a 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip at 16:9 costs about $1.34 at 480p, $2.89 at 720p and $7.11 at 1080p, so 1080p is roughly 2.5 times the 720p price and 720p is about 2.2 times 480p. Two things stack: more pixels means more video tokens, and the 1080p token rate is higher ($0.0234 per 1,000 tokens against $0.0214 at 480p and 720p). Sume bills list x 1.25.
The price ladder

| Resolution | 5 s list | 5 s Sume | 10 s Sume | 15 s Sume |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | $1.0747 | $1.343 | $2.687 | $4.030 |
| 720p | $2.3112 | $2.889 | $5.778 | $8.667 |
| 1080p | $5.6862 | $7.108 | $14.216 | $21.323 |
When 1080p is worth it
If the clip goes to a phone feed, 720p usually carries the review stage and 1080p belongs on the winner only. A draft ladder follows from the table: ten 480p drafts of 5 seconds cost about $13.43, less than two 1080p finals at $14.22 for 10 seconds. Compare it with the 720p price table before choosing.
