Wan 3.0 prices for 10, 20 and 30 second clips: $0.63 to $7.50

Wan 3.0 on Sume costs from $0.63 (10 s at 480p) to $7.50 (30 s at 1080p) per clip (as of 2026-10-08). Its list rates are $0.05, $0.10 and $0.20 per second at 480p, 720p and 1080p, and Sume bills list times 1.25.

The arithmetic

List per second: 480p $0.05, 720p $0.10, 1080p $0.20. Times 1.25 gives $0.0625, $0.125 and $0.25 per second. A 10 s clip at 480p is 10 x 0.0625 = $0.625, which rounds up to $0.63. A 30 s clip at 720p is 30 x 0.125 = $3.75 exactly.

Rounding and aspect ratio

Only the 480p column rounds, since 0.0625 per second does not land on whole cents for every length. 20 s is $1.25 and 30 s is $1.88 (1.875 rounded up). The 720p and 1080p columns are exact at these lengths.

The grid has a single price per resolution because Wan 3.0 is billed per second, not per token, so 16:9 and 9:16 cost the same. The catalog lists 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16 for Wan, plus auto and adaptive; 21:9 is not listed.

Where Wan 3.0 fits

Wan 3.0 accepts 2 to 30 seconds, so it is the only catalog row that can do both a 2 s insert and a 30 s shot. It also reports audio, end-frame, and image, video and audio reference inputs.

Compared with Seedance 2.5 for the same 30 s at 720p, Wan is $3.75 against $17.34, a ratio of 4.6. Whether the cheaper clip is good enough is a quality call that only your own prompts can settle.

Budget examples

Ten 30 s Wan 3.0 clips cost $18.80 at 480p, $37.50 at 720p and $75.00 at 1080p. A hundred 10 s clips at 720p cost $125.00, since each is $1.25.

The list price carries a note in the catalog that it is subject to change and dates from 2026-08-24, so re-check the live catalog before committing a large run.

Wan 3.0 also reports audio, so the totals above do not add a separate soundtrack line. Sume's Music model is a separate $0.125 per generation if you want one.

Check the number yourself

To confirm the figure behind this post, read the wan-3.0 entry from GET /v1/video-router/models and check that 30 s and 480p are inside its duration_seconds and resolutions. The grid price for that cell is 188 cents ($1.88). It is the provider list price times 1.25, rounded up to the next cent for the job, as of 2026-10-08.

Use an Idempotency-Key on every create call so a retry cannot start a second paid job, then poll the job until it is complete and download the file from the result. Media inputs for Timeline or for references must be hosted files, so import them first.

None of the prices here say anything about picture quality, motion or how well a model follows a prompt. Prices can change when a provider changes its list, which is why every table carries a date. Re-read the catalog before you commit a large batch, and run one test job at the exact setting you plan to use.
