GPT Image 2.5 on Sume at high quality: about $0.066 at 1024x1024, $0.050 at 1920x1080, $0.069 at 2560x1440, $0.125 at 4K. Low is under a cent to 1.4 cents.

GPT Image 2.5 at the default high quality costs about $0.066 per 1024x1024 image on Sume, about $0.050 at 1920x1080, $0.069 at 2560x1440 and $0.125 at 3840x2160. Low quality is $0.006 to $0.014 per image and medium is $0.013 to $0.033. Sume bills the fal token rates times 1.25; fal's own per-image table is in the middle column.
Where the numbers come from
fal's GPT Image 2.5 page lists $30 per million output image tokens, $8 per million image input tokens and $5 per million text input tokens, plus a per-image table. Sume's image docs state the same rates and that an omitted quality defaults to high. The Sume figures below come from the repo's estimator for a minimal prompt, so they include a few text input tokens and are rounded up to $0.0001 before the margin; a long prompt adds a little more.

| 1024x1024 | low | $0.00588 | $0.0074 |
| 1024x1024 | medium | $0.01317 | $0.0165 |
| 1024x1024 | high | $0.05268 | $0.0659 |
| 1920x1080 | high | $0.03960 | $0.0496 |
| 2560x1440 | high | $0.05529 | $0.0691 |
| 3840x2160 | low | $0.01113 | $0.0140 |
| 3840x2160 | medium | $0.02595 | $0.0325 |
| 3840x2160 | high | $0.10008 | $0.1251 |
Notes for budgeting
Catalog quotes on Sume are shown in whole cents, rounded up, so a high 1024x1024 image appears as 7 cents. Reference images and masks add input tokens, and xhigh and max cost more; see xhigh vs max. Image size also changes price in a non-obvious way: portrait is cheaper than square.
