Runway lists the Magnific precision upscaler (magnific_precision_upscaler_v2) at 25 credits per image, or 150 credits when the output exceeds 4096px. Sume's image upscale has no output-size tier: it is one per-job rate, $0.20 per image, with about 16 megapixels of generative output reserved.
What does Runway charge?
Two tiers, decided by the output size. The 4096px threshold is the only switch on that line of the page.
| Output | Credits per image |
|---|---|
| Up to 4096px | 25 |
| Over 4096px | 150 |
What does Sume charge?
The rate-card row is "Image upscale". Its description reads: one image upscale using Sume Image Upscale 1.0 after Sume margin, reserving about 16 megapixels of generative output. You do not pick a size tier; the price is the same job rate.
What does the reserve mean for my wallet?
Paid generation reserves the estimated amount when the request is accepted. Successful completion captures it, and failed jobs or failed queue admission release or refund the reservation where applicable, per Generation admission. Plan wallet headroom around the reserve when you queue many images at once; the per-image rate itself does not change with output size.
How do I call it from an agent?
From an agent, use the MCP tool image_upscale_create (listed in MCP tools and gates). For limits on scale factor and the REST route, read AI image upscale API and the 8x limit.
