With $250 you can generate about 3333 seconds of MiniMax H3 at 768p, or about 432 seconds of Seedance 2.5. The spread between the cheapest and the dearest Sume video row at this tier is 7.7 to 1.

Seconds per budget

Rates are the Sume price per output second (provider list times 1.25) at a 10-second clip, read 2026-10-09. Seconds are the budget divided by the rate, rounded down. This ignores each model's minimum and maximum clip length, which the next table shows.

Reading it

Seconds are not shots. A 5-second shot on MiniMax H3 costs $0.38, so the same $250 covers 657 such shots; each clip price is rounded up to a whole cent.

Sume reserves the full clip price when you submit and answers 402 insufficient_credits if the balance cannot cover it, so a budget this size is also the largest single job you can start.
