Wan 3.0 is listed on fal at $0.05, $0.10 and $0.20 per output second for 480p, 720p and 1080p, with a note that pricing is subject to change. On Sume the same model costs $0.0625, $0.125 and $0.25 per second, because Sume bills provider list times 1.25.

The Sume catalog row for wan-3.0 states the resolution-tiered list and the house factor, so the numbers below follow documented rules.

Why a factor on top of list

The Sume wallet is a single USD balance. At submit Sume reserves the list price times 1.25 and the poll response reports usage.cost as the billable amount. You do not manage a second provider account.

Planning a budget

Re-check the fal page before large runs, since the list can change.

  • Prototype at 480p: a 10-second draft is $0.63.
  • Ship at 720p: 10 seconds is $1.25.
  • Reserve 1080p for the final: 10 seconds is $2.50.

What the 1.25 factor covers

The Video Router docs describe Sume's billing for every catalog model as provider list times 1.25, and the video docs say Sume reserves that amount at submit.

The factor is the same for Wan 3.0, Seedance 2.5 and the other video ids, so cross-model comparisons on Sume are like for like.

A 100-clip budget

A team making 100 ten-second Wan 3.0 clips at 720p would pay $125.00 on Sume ($1.25 each). At 480p the same batch is $62.50, and at 1080p $250.00.
