Cost of 1,000 AI images on Sume: Soul, Flux 2 Pro, Grok, Nano Banana 2

One thousand single-image jobs cost $10 on Higgsfield Soul, $30 on Grok Image, Qwen Image and Imagen 4 Fast, $40 on Flux 2 Pro, $50 on Seedream 5 Lite and $100 on Nano Banana 2 on Sume. These are flat per-image prices from the generated catalog.

Where the prices live

The public catalog is generated into packages/api-contract/src/generated/catalog-cents.ts and listed on the API pricing page. Each is the provider list price times 1.25, rounded up to the cent per job, and I computed the cents with the estimators in media-estimators.ts.

Caveats

A thousand is a thousand jobs. Models that bill by quality or size, such as GPT Image 2.5 or Ideogram 4.5, are not in this table because their prices vary; see the GPT Image 2.5 per-1,000 post for those. Price tells you nothing about quality, so test your prompt before scaling.

Round-up matters at this scale. Soul's list price is $0.004, which would be $4.00 per thousand, but each job bills a whole cent, so a thousand jobs cost $10. See the price-list post for the margin rule.

• Prices are per job, so a thousand jobs is 1,000 times the cents.
• Check the image models docs for limits.

Picking by budget

With a $100 budget, you could make about 1,000 Nano Banana 2 images, 2,500 Flux 2 Pro images, 3,333 Grok Image images or 10,000 Higgsfield Soul images. The cheapest model is not always the best for a given look, so spend a few dollars on a comparison set of 20 prompts across two or three models before committing a thousand.

Prices can change with the provider list, which Sume multiplies by 1.25. These figures were computed from the pricing code on 2026-10-06, and the public price list on the API pricing page is the place to confirm current numbers before a large run.

How these numbers were produced

I read the rate tables in the clone of Sume's repository on 2026-10-06 and called estimateImageRouterProviderCost for seven image models, covering one image each at default settings. The output fields are billableAmountUsdMicros and billableAmountUsdCents; the tables show the cents.

These are estimates of the billed amount for the stated settings. Anything not in the table, such as a different frame shape, a reference input or a changed quality tier, can change the number, so run the estimate for your own request before a large batch. Where this page and the public API pricing list disagree, the pricing page and the live quote win.
