What a $10 Sume wallet top-up buys, job by job at fixed prices

The Sume pricing FAQ says teams can fund a shared wallet with on-demand purchases from $10 to $1000, and generation and API calls are billed at each model's published USD rate. At the fixed per-unit rates in the repo, $10 buys 50 caption jobs, 80 music generations, 1,000 minutes of transcription, 100 output minutes of timeline render or 210,526 characters of text to speech, but not all at once. Read 2026-10-03 from the Sume pricing page and repo.

This post is the division, laid out so you can plan a first top-up. It uses only fixed-price jobs; video generation is priced per second by model and has its own tables.

The table

Each row divides $10 by the published rate and rounds down to a whole unit. Fixed rates are the public prices in the repo; video captions and Music 1.0 are also stated in their docs.

A worked mixed budget

A small ad test might use 10 caption jobs ($2.00), 8 music generations ($1.00), a 2,000-character voiceover ($0.095) and 5 minutes of timeline render ($0.50). That totals $3.595, so the first $10 covers it with $6.405 left over. The numbers are list arithmetic on the fixed prices, not a measured bill.

A few small notes: a caption job reserves $0.20 whatever the clip length up to 60 seconds, so a 10-second clip costs the same as a 55-second one.

What a top-up does not cover

Video generation is billed per second and varies by model and resolution, so a $10 balance buys different amounts depending on the route. Wan 3.0 at 480p is $0.05 list, billed at list times 1.25, so $10 is 160 seconds at that tier. Avatar video is $0.184 a second at Standard, so $10 is 54 seconds. The two rows are the extremes of what a top-up buys in moving picture.

The plan grid is separate. Plans price concurrency and access, and usage is billed at published rates; the FAQ does not describe the subscription fee as a credit toward usage, so budget the two separately.
