Predis Core: 325 images or 33 videos vs per-image pricing on Sume

A subscription that bundles credits hides the price of one image. Predis, on the page read today, lists Core at $24 a month billed annually or $32 monthly with 1,300 credits, described as about 325 images or 33 videos. That gives a per-unit price you can compare to a metered API.

The division

Monthly billing: $32 / 325 = $0.098 per image, and $32 / 33 = $0.97 per video. Annual billing: $24 / 325 = $0.074 per image, and $24 / 33 = $0.73 per video. Predis Rise lists $55 annual or $79 monthly with 3,200 credits.

Reading the Sume number

The $0.2225 figure is the Image router's estimate for a high-quality GPT Image 2.5 request with a prompt only. It is not a flat price: the same endpoint ranges from $0.01 to $7.36 per call depending on model, quality and size, and the API pricing page shows the estimate before you send. A cheaper model closes most of the gap with Predis; the premium setting widens it.

The honest verdict

For plain image volume at a fixed monthly spend, Predis's plan is cheaper per image at its list numbers. I did not read what a Predis credit buys beyond the 325-image and 33-video figures, so I am not saying the outputs are equal.

What Sume offers instead is control over the unit cost. You choose the model per call, you pay no monthly minimum, and unused wallet dollars are not reset each month.

A way to decide

• Count the images you really publish in a month. Under about 100 and a pay-per-image wallet is likely cheaper than the $24 to $32 plan.
• Past 300 a month, compare Predis's plan to a cheaper image model on Sume rather than the premium estimate.
• If you need the same job callable from code, the metered route is the one with an API.
