Lyria 3 Clip Preview 30-second price vs Sume Music fixed price
Google lists Lyria 3 Clip Preview (30s) at a per-song price. Sume Music charges one fixed price per accepted generation, whatever length the prompt asks for.
Lyria 3 Clip Preview is a 30-second tier that Google lists at $0.04 per song. Sume has no clip tier: Music 1.0 is one fixed price, $0.125 per audio, for each accepted generation, so a 30-second ask costs the same as a longer one.
What is the clip tier on Google's page?
Google files it under the legacy Lyria 3 family and lists lyria-3-clip-preview as Lyria 3 Clip Preview (30s) at $0.04 per song on the paid tier, with no free tier. It is a preview model, so check the page for changes.
How does the cost per second work out?
Dividing by length shows why the fixed price behaves differently. These are arithmetic on the two listed prices, not benchmarks.
| Track length | Google clip tier ($0.04, 30s only) | Sume Music 1.0 ($0.125 fixed) |
|---|---|---|
| 30 seconds | about $0.0013 per second | about $0.0042 per second |
| 120 seconds | not offered by this tier | about $0.0010 per second |
How do I ask Sume for a 30-second piece?
Put the length in the prompt. Music 1.0 is steered by text, for example [0:00-0:30] Intro: ... section markers. Price does not vary by prompt length or optional image conditioning, so a short request still reserves and charges one generation.
When does a clip tier fit better?
When you only ever need 30 seconds and call Google directly, the clip tier matches that need. When you want full songs, or one key, job envelope and wallet across video, image and speech, Sume Music is the route. Related reading: AI music generator cost.
