How to pick a tier

Use the cheap tier to settle composition, then rerun only the keepers at a higher tier.

  • Draft all 100 at low: $3.75.
  • Rerun about a quarter (25 images) at high: $6.88, for a combined $10.63.
  • Going straight to high for every image costs $27.50.
  • Ideogram 4.5 takes 1K or 2K for resolution; the Sume docs state that image size does not change the per-image price (read 2026-10-10).
