On fal, Seedream 5.0 Lite edit costs $0.035 per image, accepts up to 10 reference images and outputs up to 3072x3072 pixels, 9 MP. Unlike per-megapixel models, the price is flat per image. On Sume, read the Seedream row's input_references range and resolution tiers before you plan a 10-image composite.

Figures are from fal's Seedream 5.0 Lite edit page, read 2026-10-03.

Flat price on fal

The page also lists 1 to 6 images per generation and built-in content filtering that is on by default.

Read the catalog

Print the reference and n ceilings Sume lists.

import os
import requests

key = os.environ["SUME_API_KEY"]
url = "https://api.sume.com/v1/images/models"
resp = requests.get(url, headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {key}"}, timeout=30)
resp.raise_for_status()
for model in resp.json()["data"]:
    params = model["supported_parameters"]
    refs = params.get("input_references", {}).get("max", 0)
    n_max = params.get("n", {}).get("max", 1)
    print(model["id"], "refs:", refs, "n:", n_max)

Limits

Do not carry fal's ceilings into a Sume request. Values outside the catalog row return 400 unsupported_parameter. The Sume price is whatever endpoint pricing shows.
