What one Ideogram 4.5 image costs in voice minutes and video seconds

Picking where to spend a fixed budget is easier with exchange rates. One Ideogram 4.5 image at medium quality costs $0.079125 all-in on Sume (list $0.06, × 1.25, plus the 5.5% fee). This table divides that by the price of other assets, so you can see what one image would buy instead.

Reading it

A medium image is about as costly as 1.8 minutes of narration, so a 60-second video with six images and a one-minute voiceover spends most of its money on the images, not the voice. A second of Wan 3.0 at 720p costs 1.7x an image, which is why stills are the cheap place to iterate.

Sume prices every job at the vendor list price × 1.25, then adds a 5.5% fee on that result, so $1.00 of list becomes $1.31875 (how the formula works). The tables below show both the catalog price (list × 1.25) and the all-in figure with the fee.
