Billing

What a job costs, when it is charged, and when it is refunded.

What a job costs

Jobs made with an open.sume.com key are paid in US dollars from your open.sume.com balance. Top up in the dashboard under Billing.

1. Before you submit, Estimate a price returns the exact price for a request. It is free and needs no key.
2. When you submit, the price is reserved from your balance. If the balance is too low, the submit fails with 402 insufficient_funds and creates no job.
3. When the job ends, the reservation is charged if it completed, and refunded if it failed or was canceled.

A submit refused at the concurrency cap is refunded at once.

List open models gives every model's dollar price, including the price for each quality or resolution.

Adding funds

Add funds on the Billing page with a card; the smallest top-up is $5. From code, Top up your balance starts the same top-up with your API key and returns a checkout link to pay. Turn on Auto top-up there to refill the balance when it falls below an amount you choose, so long runs do not stop at 402 insufficient_funds. Every top-up, charge and refund is in the transaction history, with a receipt.

The model lists (image, video) show Sume credit prices; the dollar price your key pays is in List open models and Estimate a price.

Seeing what you spent

The dashboard's Analytics page lists spend by day and by model, and every key's spend is on the API keys page.
