Wan 3.0 Standard vs Prime per second, plus Sume's x1.25

With the launch discount of 30 percent, Wan 3.0 Standard is priced at $0.05, $0.10 and $0.20 per second at 480p, 720p and 1080p, and Prime at $0.068, $0.14 and $0.28. Sume bills list times 1.25 on every Video Router model and accepts 2 to 30 seconds on wan-3.0.

The vendor rates

The Decoder reports a beta launch on August 24, 2026 through wan.video, Model Studio and Qwen Cloud, with the prices below.

What Sume documents

Sume's Video Router docs say it bills list times 1.25 on every catalog model, and that wan-3.0 accepts 2 to 30 seconds. They do not say which Wan 3.0 tier the id maps to, and no Prime id is listed in the documentation. Do not assume the Standard column applies: read the model's pricing_skus from GET /v1/videos/models, which returns pricing per SKU, and use that number.

The multiplier itself is plain arithmetic. As an illustration only, a vendor rate of $0.10 per second becomes $0.125 per second at 1.25 times, so a 10 second clip lists at $1.00 and bills at $1.25 on that rate. Substitute the SKU price from the catalog.

Budget check before you generate

• Fetch the catalog and read supported durations, resolutions and pricing_skus for the model.
• Multiply the SKU price by seconds, then by 1.25 only if the catalog shows a provider list price rather than a billed price.
• Use dry_run on the MCP tool when you want an admission and cost preview.
• Generate one short clip at the resolution you will ship, not a higher tier.

Because per-second pricing scales linearly with length, a 30 second clip at any tier costs three times a 10 second clip at the same resolution. Resolution is the bigger lever: the vendor's 1080p rate is four times its 480p rate.
