How much does a 30-second Seedance 2.5 clip cost on Sume?

A 30-second Seedance 2.5 clip costs $8.07 at 480p, $17.34 at 720p and $42.65 at 1080p on Sume. Seedance 2.5 is the only Seedance row in the catalog that accepts 30 seconds; the other Seedance rows stop at 15.

Price by resolution

Sume bills the provider list price times 1.25 and rounds each job up to a whole cent; the tables below come from running Sume's own estimators in packages/provider-pricing/src/media-estimators.ts. Seedance 2.5 uses tokens, width x height x seconds x 24 / 1024, at $0.0214 per 1,000 tokens for 480p and 720p and $0.0234 for 1080p (SEEDANCE_VIDEO_USD_MICROS_PER_1000_TOKENS and SEEDANCE_25_1080P_USD_MICROS_PER_1000_TOKENS in pricing-tables.ts).

Where the money goes

Price scales linearly with seconds, so a 30-second clip costs exactly three times the 10-second one before rounding. Resolution is the bigger lever: 1080p costs about 5.3 times 480p for the same duration, partly from pixel count and partly from the higher 1080p token rate.

The shape of the frame matters little. 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 price identically; ultrawide 21:9 and 4:3 add a cent or two, covered in the ultrawide post.

Cutting a 30-second quote

Draft at 480p and render the keeper at 720p: one 480p draft plus one 720p final is $25.41, against $17.34 for going straight to 720p, so drafting only pays when most drafts are rejected. If you want a cheaper long clip, Wan 3.0 at 30 seconds is $3.75 at 720p.

The Video Router docs list the limits for each model, and the API pricing page is the public price list.

• Reference videos change the price: see the 22.5-second break-even.
• Check the quote with the estimator before a batch.

How to confirm the price before you spend

Run the estimate for your exact settings rather than trusting a table. The numbers here use a 9:16 frame and no reference inputs, and both choices can change the quote slightly. The estimator in packages/provider-pricing/src/media-estimators.ts is the same code that sets the amount Sume reserves for a job, so an estimate and a bill agree for the same request.

As a sanity check, 720x1280 for 30 seconds is 648,000 tokens, which at $0.0214 per 1,000 tokens is $13.87 at list. Multiply by 1.25 for $17.34. If your own arithmetic matches that, you have the pricing model right, and the 480p and 1080p rows follow from their own frame sizes and the 1080p token rate.

How these numbers were produced

I read the rate tables in the clone of Sume's repository on 2026-10-06 and called estimateSeedanceProviderCost for seedance-2.5, covering 9:16 frames at 480p, 720p and 1080p with durations of 4, 10, 15 and 30 seconds. The output fields are billableAmountUsdMicros and billableAmountUsdCents; the tables show the cents.

These are estimates of the billed amount for the stated settings. Anything not in the table, such as a different frame shape, a reference input or a changed quality tier, can change the number, so run the estimate for your own request before a large batch. Where this page and the public API pricing list disagree, the pricing page and the live quote win.
