What $25, $50 and $100 buy on Sume: cutouts, upscales, tracks, minutes

At the Sume rate card, $100 buys 4,444 background removals ($0.0225), 500 image upscales ($0.20), 800 music tracks ($0.125) or 10,000 audio minutes of transcription ($0.01). Each is a whole-number floor of budget divided by price.

Units per budget

Whole units only; leftover change is not counted.

Read the units

Video upscale at 11,111 seconds for $100 is just over three hours of footage, but the per-job duration limits are not covered by the rate card, so check the catalog before planning a long source.

Worked example and checks

Three of these rows are cheap enough that volume is not the constraint; the constraint is review time. 4,444 cutouts need 4,444 glances. At 3 seconds each that is 3.7 hours of checking, which is likely a bigger cost than the $100.

The row to watch is image upscale. At $0.20 it is the most expensive per unit of the five, and the only one where cost scales with how many files you touch rather than how long they are. Filter what needs upscaling before you submit.

Where this stops

These are the cheapest rows on the public card. They exclude generation: images and videos from routed models are provider list price times Sume's margin, listed per model in GET /v1/catalog. Sume bills model and tool usage at the published rate on top of the plan fee, so the plan price is separate from every number in this post.
