What 50 cents buys on Wan 3.0: the longest clip at each resolution
A $0.50 budget on Wan 3.0 buys 8 seconds at 480p, 4 seconds at 720p and 2 seconds at 1080p on Sume. Table with exact job prices.
Prices are Sume billable rates (provider list x 1.25, rounded up to the cent per job), read 2026-10-07. Wan 3.0 runs 2 to 30 seconds per job, so a small budget is a resolution decision.

The longest clip that stays at or under $0.50 is 8 seconds at 480p ($0.50), 4 seconds at 720p ($0.50) and 2 seconds at 1080p ($0.50). Omit the resolution field and the job defaults to 1080p, which is the expensive row, so always send it.
