Seedance 2 mini, Seedance 2.5 or Wan 3.0 for holiday ad drafts?

For a 5-second 9:16 draft at 480p, Wan 3.0 costs $0.3125, Seedance 2 mini $0.4394 and Seedance 2.5 $1.3434 on Sume. Use the cheapest model to test hooks and keep Seedance 2.5 for the clip you will actually run.

Side by side

Prices come from the provider price tables times Sume's billing multiplier and were computed for a billable 9:16 clip.

Twenty drafts

Twenty 5-second 480p drafts cost $6.25 on Wan 3.0, $8.79 on Seedance 2 mini and $26.87 on Seedance 2.5. The gap is the price of using the finishing model as a sketch pad.

When a pricier model is worth it

Wan 3.0 runs 2 to 30 seconds and Seedance 2.5 runs 4 to 30, so a 4-second clip needs Seedance 2.5 or mini. If sound or exact motion matters to the hook, compare one draft on the finishing model before committing.

Let the router choose

Setting model to sume/auto lets the Video Router pick. For a controlled test, name the model so every draft is comparable.
