Higgsfield Soul on Sume: 1 cent an image, n of 1 or 4, $100 per 10,000
Higgsfield Soul is the cheapest Sume image model at 1 cent. It is text-only, takes n of 1 or 4 and 720p or 1080p, so 10,000 images is 2,500 calls and $100.
Higgsfield Soul (higgsfield-soul) is the cheapest model in the Sume image catalog at 1 cent per image, so 100 images cost $1 and 10,000 cost $100. It is text-to-image only, the count per call is 1 or 4, and resolution is 720p or 1080p. At n=4, 10,000 images is 2,500 calls.
Price and limits
The catalog list is $0.004 per image, times 1.25 is $0.005, which rounds up to 1 cent. Sume's own catalog note says that list price is the authenticated Higgsfield estimate for the Sume account and not a published tariff, so read the live endpoint price before you plan a big run. Output format is chosen by the provider and is PNG.

| Billed per image | 1 cent |
| 100 / 500 / 1,000 images | $1 / $5 / $10 |
| 10,000 images | $100 |
| Calls for 10,000 images at n=4 | 2,500 |
| num_images | 1 or 4 |
| Resolution | 720p or 1080p |

What the price is good for
Sume's Image API lets you generate many options for the price of a coffee: 400 images for $4. Soul works well for idea boards, early layouts and wide sweeps where you will discard most results. It is the wrong row for a product edit or for a 4:5 feed post, because it has no references and no 4:5.
A good pattern is a two-stage run. Generate 400 Soul images for $4 to explore compositions. Then rebuild the best five on a row that fits the final job, such as Seedream 5.0 Lite at 5 cents or GPT Image 2.5 at 7 cents, using the same prompt text.
- Soul gives 1 or 4 images per call; ask for 2 and the request is not valid for this row.
- Failed generations are not billed.
- A 1080p request may be slower, so for large runs use async or webhook mode.
Plan a run
For 10,000 images, send 2,500 n=4 calls with mode async and collect the results from the job result endpoint. At $100 total, a 5 percent failure rate costs nothing, because failures are not billed.
Cost of a campaign wall
A 6x6 wall of 36 reference tiles is 9 calls at n=4 and 36 cents. A hundred such walls are $36. Expect to discard most of them and pass the winners on to a finishing row.
Because the list rate is an estimate for the Sume account, check the endpoint pricing line for the live number, and run 100 images ($1) before you queue 10,000.
