How each one counts
Sume charges Seedance 2.5 per second of output at the resolution you pick. When you send a video in, to edit it, use it as a reference or extend it, the input video's seconds count too, at the lower edit rate, and Sume reads that length from the file before the job is priced.
Higgsfield's API counts video tokens: the output's width times its height times the input plus output seconds. Its per-second figures hold for 16:9 video, so another shape costs a different amount per second.
Run it on Sume
Pick Seedance 2.5 on the Video tab in Studio, or open the Seedance 2.5 model page. On the Sume API the model id is seedance-2.5; the price per option is on the API rate card.
Questions
- Does Seedance 2.5 cost less on Sume than on Higgsfield?
- Yes, by the published numbers. Sume's price is half of Higgsfield's API list at 480p, 720p and 1080p, and below the discounted price Higgsfield's pricing page shows at 480p and 1080p.
- What does a Seedance 2.5 edit cost?
- An edit counts the input and the output seconds at $0.1383 each at 720p, so editing a 10-second clip into a 10-second clip is 20 × $0.1383 = $2.766.
- Is a failed generation charged?
- No. A generation that fails is refunded to the balance. See billing.
