A spokesperson ad on Sume is the sum of its parts: the avatar video, billed by the second at its quality tier, a new avatar when one is created, and each still image and b-roll clip. The avatar video is most of the total; the table gives every combination these posts priced.
Worked example: A 15-second ad with 3 stills: $3.89

Line items
Every line is a Sume list price read on 2026-10-09: Avatar Video standard at $0.184 per second, avatar creation at $0.95, medium 16:9 stills at $0.06 each.
| Item | Quantity | Unit price | Subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|
| New avatar | 1 | $0.95 | $0.95 |
| Avatar video (standard) | 15 s | $0.184/s | $2.76 |

| Total | $3.89 |
Reusing the avatar
The avatar is a one-time cost. Ten ads in the same format reuse it, so ten cost $30.35 rather than $38.90. Narration is not a separate line because the avatar video speaks the script.
Each job reserves its price at submit and refunds it on failure, so a failed job does not change the total above. Avatar Video accepts scripts of 4 to 60 seconds.
