Singles Day 2026 sale tiles: 3 languages, 3 ratios on Ideogram 4.5

For a Singles Day sale (Wednesday, November 11, 2026) with the offer text in three languages and three ratios, Ideogram 4.5 on Sume costs $0.3375 for nine low-quality drafts and $0.675 for nine medium finals, $1.0125 together. It lists 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16, so one model covers feed, portrait and story tiles.

Prices are the billed Sume rates: low $0.0375, medium $0.075, high $0.275 per image (the docs list $0.03, $0.06 and $0.22 before Sume's margin, read 2026-10-03), the same at 1K and 2K.

Cost by quality for nine tiles

A mixed plan, drafts at low and finals at medium, adds up to $1.0125 for the full 3 x 3 grid.

Text is the risk, so structure the prompts

Write each tile's text once per language as a quoted string, and keep the prompt otherwise identical across the nine calls. Have a native reader check every output; do not assume a script renders correctly because the Latin version did.

Keep the numbers out of the model where you can: one short headline in the image, and the price, date and legal line added in your own layout step. Ideogram 4.5 without references generates from text; with references it edits the first image, so you can reuse an approved English tile as the base for the translated versions.

• Draft all nine at low and fix wording before paying for medium.
• Set aspect_ratio per tile; an edit without it keeps the source shape.
• Do not send output_format: the Ideogram 4.5 row lists none and a value returns 400.

The request

Swap the quoted text and aspect_ratio across the nine calls.
