A daily 15-second video for 30 days is 450 seconds of footage. At Sume rates that is $5.63 on Grok Imagine Video 1.5, $56.25 on Wan 3.0 at 720p, $63.00 on Kling 3 with audio off and $94.50 with audio on. Add $9.00 for a timeline render and captions on each video.
Monthly footage cost
One 15-second request per day, one take. All rows accept 15 seconds.
| Model | Monthly footage |
|---|---|
| Grok Imagine Video 1.5 720p | $5.625 |
| MiniMax H3 768p | $33.75 |
| MiniMax H3 Max 768p | $45.00 |
| Wan 3.0 720p | $56.25 |
| Kling 3 audio off | $63.00 |
| MiniMax H3 Max 1080p | $90.00 |
| Kling 3 audio on | $94.50 |
Finishing
If each day's video is rendered through a timeline and captioned, add $0.10 for the render and $0.20 for the caption job per video. Over 30 days that is $3.00 plus $6.00, or $9.00. Music at $0.125 per accepted generation adds $3.75 if you make a new track each day.
- Grok pipeline with timeline and captions: $14.63 a month.
- Wan 720p pipeline: $65.25 a month.
- Kling audio on pipeline with captions: $103.50 a month.
Keeping the month on budget
If you expect two takes per day, double the footage line. On hosted MCP, pass max_spend_usd so a stuck loop cannot spend the month in a night; on the HTTP API, check GET /v1/balance before each run.
Choosing by purpose
A daily clip that reads as background texture does not need the same row as a product reveal. Many channels alternate: a cheap Grok clip most days and a Wan 1080p clip once a week. Twenty-six Grok days at 15 seconds cost $4.88 and four Wan 1080p days cost $15.00, for $19.88 in footage against $56.25 for Wan 720p every day.
Whatever mix you choose, price one week first, then scale to the month.
Limits
A model change mid-month changes the rate, and some rows accept shorter or longer windows. The tables show the model amount. A workspace Agent Fee line can be added on top, so treat the job's own usage cost as the truth and check the live catalog before you budget; limits and rows change.
