150 images for a app store backgrounds: GPT Image 2.5 cost by quality
150 1024x1024 images on Sume with ChatGPT Image 2.5: $3.7125 at low, $8.34375 at medium, $33.35625 at high quality.

150 images at 1024x1024 cost $3.7125 at quality: low, $8.34375 at medium and $33.35625 at high with ChatGPT Image 2.5 (openai/gpt-image-2.5) on Sume. That is one image per request, priced from Fal's output-token rates with Sume's margin.
Sume's Image API docs (read 2026-10-06) say that if you omit quality the default is high, and that auto reserves the max price. For a app store backgrounds, pass the quality you mean.
