What $37 buys in AI video seconds on Sume, six models, every tier

$37 buys 592 seconds of Wan 3.0 at 480p, 148 seconds at 1080p, 64 seconds of Seedance 2.5 at 720p, 26 seconds of it at 1080p, and 98 seconds of Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 at 4K. The table below gives every model and tier with the whole-second count and the cents left over.

Prices on this page are Sume list prices as of 2026-10-08: the provider list price times 1.25, computed from Sume's pricing package and billed per output second, linear in duration inside each model's valid range. The model ids, ranges and input types come from the Video generation docs and the Video Router docs; the per-second numbers can be cross-checked in the public catalog.

The whole table

Each count is the largest whole number of seconds with price at or below $37. Because durations are whole seconds, the leftover is what stays on the balance. Example: Seedance 2.5 at 1080p is 26 s × $1.42155 = $36.9603, and the 27th second would bring it to $38.38185, so $0.0397 is left.

Reading it as clips, not seconds

Seconds are not clips. Every model has a valid duration range, so a $37 budget has to be cut into clips that each fall inside it. Wan 3.0 accepts 2 to 30 s, Seedance 2.5 accepts 4 to 30 s, Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 accepts 3 to 10 s, and MiniMax H3 and H3 Max accept 5 to 15 s.

So 98 s of Omni at 4K is nine 10-second jobs and an 8-second job, not 98 one-second jobs. Likewise the 26 s of Seedance 2.5 at 1080p is five 4 s clips and one 6 s clip, not six 4 s clips and a 2 s leftover, because 2 s is under the model's 4 s minimum.

• Cheapest second in the set: Omni at 360p, $0.0375, 986 s for $37.
• Dearest second in the set: Seedance 2.5 at 1080p, $1.42155.
• Seedance 2.0 sits between: 210 s at 480p, 97 s at 720p, 43 s at 1080p.

Scaling this plan up or down

As a yardstick, the plan above is built on Wan 3.0 at 1080p, $0.25 per second. Each extra 5 seconds adds $1.25, a further $10 of budget buys 40 more whole seconds, and the largest single job the model accepts (30 s) holds $7.50 at submit. The shortest one (2 s) holds $0.50.

Those three numbers are enough to rescale the plan without a new table. If the plan doubles, double the totals; if a clip is shortened, subtract the seconds multiplied by the rate; and if the tier changes, swap the rate for the one in the tables above.

• Per second: $0.25
• Per 5 s: $1.25
• Per 10 s: $2.50
• Per 30 s or the model maximum (30 s): $7.50

Check the model's fields first

Before a run, ask GET /v1/videos/models for the model and compare three fields with your plan: supported_durations (every clip length must be listed), supported_resolutions (the tier must be listed, since MiniMax H3 has 768p and no 1080p, and Omni has 360p and 4K) and supported_aspect_ratios. A request outside those lists fails at validation, so the failure costs nothing, but a plan built on a wrong assumption costs a rewrite.

How to place the order

Submit through POST /v1/videos with model, prompt, duration in whole seconds and resolution; read GET /v1/videos/models first, because supported_durations and supported_resolutions differ per model. Sume reserves the price at submit and usage.cost on the poll response is the billable amount, so the figures here are what leaves the balance.
