Singles Day 11.11 AI video budget: clips $30 buys by model
Singles Day, November 11, is 39 days from October 3. What $30 buys in 10-second clips on each Sume video model, with two checkpoints before the date.
Singles Day, November 11, 2026, is a Wednesday and falls 39 days after October 3. For a campaign aimed at it, 39 days is about five weeks, enough for one round of tests and one of finals. This post turns a $30 budget into a clip count per Sume video model, so you can see what a small campaign can do before you scale it.
Prices are Sume billed rates read on 2026-10-03; the clip length is 10 seconds throughout.
How many clips does $30 buy?
The counts are whole clips with no retakes. Most models cluster around $1 to $2 for 10 seconds, with Seedance 2.5 as the outlier at $5.778 because it bills by tokens.
| Model | 10 s clip | Clips for $30 |
|---|---|---|
| Grok Imagine video | $0.125 | 240 |
| MiniMax H3, 768p | $0.75 | 40 |
| MiniMax H3 Max, 768p | $1.00 | 30 |
| Wan 3.0, 720p | $1.25 | 24 |
| Gemini Omni Flash 1.1, 720p (native audio) | $1.25 | 24 |
| Kling v3 Pro, audio on | $2.10 | 14 |
| Seedance 2.0, 720p, 9:16 | $3.78 | 7 |
| Seedance 2.5, 720p, 9:16 | $5.778 | 5 |
How do you spend it over 39 days?
Split by checkpoint, not by day. A first checkpoint at about day 14 (October 17) reviews the opening round; a second at about day 28 (October 31) locks the finals, which leaves 11 days before November 11 for captions, resizing and uploads. A simple split is $10 for the opening round, $15 for finals and $5 as a reserve.
With that split on Wan 3.0 at 720p, $10 buys eight 10-second options, $15 buys twelve finals and $5 covers four extra retakes.
What should you watch for?
Check the price against the table after the first job. Seedance 2.5 changes by frame size and Wan 3.0 does not. Omni Flash 1.1 includes native audio, so it removes a voice step, but it is limited to 3 to 10 seconds per clip. Rates above are the ones Sume bills today, and a rate-card change would show up on the API pricing page.
