Topview 180-second avatar videos vs Sume 60-second jobs: cost

Topview AI's pricing page lists a maximum of 180 seconds per avatar video on its Plus, Business, Ultra and Team plans. Sume avatar jobs are shorter: a script or multi-scene plan is accepted when Sume estimates it at 4 to 60 seconds. To reach 180 seconds you chain three jobs, and at the Standard tier with no product image that costs $33.12 (180 s x $0.184).

What does each side list for avatar video length?

Topview shows the same 180-second avatar video cap on every self-serve plan, so the cap does not depend on which plan you pick. Sume documents a single window per job, with three quality tiers (Standard, Plus, Max) and a fixed 720p output.

Both numbers are per video or per job, not per month, so they say nothing yet about how many videos you can make.

What does a 180-second script cost on Sume?

Split the script into three scenes of about 60 seconds, each its own avatar job with the same avatar handle. The Sume per-second rates are Standard $0.184, Plus $0.245 and Max $0.55 without a product image, and $0.194, $0.258 and $0.58 with one.

Each 60-second job at Standard is $11.04, so three are $33.12. With a product image each job is $11.64 and the total is $34.92. You pay for seconds rendered, with no plan to hold.

How do the chained clips join up?

Each job returns its own clip. Join them with a timeline job, or post them as a series. Keep the avatar handle, aspect ratio and tier identical across the three jobs so the clips match. If you only need a 20 to 40 second ad, a single job is all you run.

• Write three scripts that each end on a sentence boundary.
• Use the same avatar handle and the same quality tier.
• Preview the first job before you run the other two.

When is Topview's cap the better fit?

If your content is regularly 2 to 3 minutes in one take and you want it in one render, a 180-second cap saves the stitching step. If your videos are ads, hooks or short explainers under 60 seconds, the Sume cap never bites and you pay only for the seconds you render.

Topview's credit allowances differ by plan, and the pricing page does not say how many credits one avatar second uses, so this post does not convert its plans into seconds.
