Ideogram 4.0 price per image: what Sume charges today

Sume does not list Ideogram 4.0, so it has no Ideogram 4.0 price to quote. The Ideogram model in its image catalog is ideogram/ideogram-v3, and its endpoint pricing line is $0.075 per image: the $0.06 list rate in Sume's price table times 1.25. The price is the same at low, medium and high quality.

The Sume figures come from the Image API docs and the pricing code behind the catalog, read 2026-09-29. No outside price is quoted here.

How much do one to four Ideogram images cost on Sume?

The docs say an endpoint's pricing line is what your wallet is charged, with the margin already applied, so cost_usd × n is the total. The catalog lets one request ask for 1 to 4 images from this model.

Does quality change the price?

No. quality accepts low, medium and high on this model, and Sume passes them to the provider as the rendering speeds TURBO, BALANCED and QUALITY. The pricing code holds one flat per-image rate for the model, so choose a quality for the look and the wait, not for the bill.

Why does the estimate round up?

The catalog labels its billing formula "list × 1.25 → ceil usd cents". A single image reserves $0.08 even though the price line reads 0.075, and every response carries usage.cost, the USD amount billed to your wallet. Trust that field over any table, this one included.

How do I read the live price?

Ask the endpoint record for the model. It returns the pricing array with cost_usd per output image, and it is the source of truth if the rate changes.

curl "https://api.sume.com/v1/images/models/ideogram/ideogram-v3/endpoints" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY"

How do I keep a batch inside a budget?

Multiply the price line by the number of images you plan to request, then add a little headroom for the whole-cent reserve. Because quality does not move the rate, you can run a first round at low (the TURBO speed) to check the composition, then repeat the prompt at high for the final. Two rounds of one image each cost $0.15 in price-line terms, and a request that fails outright is not charged.

What if I need Ideogram 4.0 itself?

Sume's docs make no promise that it will be added. What each version's request looks like, and how to port a 4.0 prompt to V3, is in Ideogram 4.0 API: request shape and what Sume lists. Failed or cancelled generations are not billed, so a bad first try costs nothing.
