How many Ideogram 4.5 images do $200, $500 and $1,000 buy on Sume?
Budget to image count at the low, medium and high tiers of Ideogram 4.5 on Sume, after list x 1.25 and the 5.5% fee. From $50 to $1,000, rounded down.

If you start from a monthly spend limit, the number you need is how many Ideogram 4.5 images it buys. Sume's catalog prices for the three qualities are $0.0375, $0.075 and $0.275; with the 5.5% fee they are $0.039562, $0.079125 and $0.290125.
Sume prices every job at the vendor list price × 1.25, then adds a 5.5% fee on that result, so $1.00 of list becomes $1.31875 (how the formula works). The tables below show both the catalog price (list × 1.25) and the all-in figure with the fee.
Images per budget
| Budget | Low | Medium | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50 | 1,263 | 631 | 172 |
| $200 | 5,055 | 2,527 | 689 |
| $500 | 12,638 | 6,319 | 1,723 |
| $1,000 | 25,276 | 12,638 | 3,446 |
Using the table
The count is a ceiling: it assumes every render is kept and every job succeeds. Quality sets the price, resolution (1K or 2K) does not, and an edit of an existing image costs the same as a new generation at the same quality.
If a fraction of your renders are rejected, divide the count by the average takes per keeper. At two takes per keeper, $500 of medium images yields 3,159 keepers.
