What does each quality cost?

On Sume, Ideogram 4.5's quality field sets the price: low, medium or high. If you send no quality, the request runs at medium. The table prices this job at each tier next to two flat-price image models, from Sume's rate card as read on 2026-10-10.

How to pick a tier

Use the cheap tier to settle composition, then rerun only the keepers at a higher tier.

• Draft all 80 at low: $3.00.
• Rerun about a quarter (20 images) at high: $5.50, for a combined $8.50.
• Going straight to high for every image costs $22.00.
• Ideogram 4.5 takes 1K or 2K for resolution; the Sume docs state that image size does not change the per-image price (read 2026-10-10).
