Higgsfield Soul on Sume: 1080p portrait covers at $0.0075 each
Soul bills $0.005 at 720p and $0.0075 at 1080p on Sume, makes 1 or 4 images, and lists 3:4 and 9:16. Fine for cover drafts, text-to-image only.
Higgsfield Soul is the cheapest image row on Sume: $0.005 per image at 720p and $0.0075 at 1080p, after the 1.25 margin on a $0.004 and $0.006 list. It generates 1 or 4 images per call, takes text only (no reference photos), and lists seven aspect ratios including 3:4 and 9:16, the shapes of a portrait cover.

A cover-drafting batch
Four 1080p portrait options in one call (n: 4) cost 4 x $0.0075 = $0.03. A hundred 720p drafts cost $0.50. Those are the cheapest drafts in the catalog, so Soul fits a first pass where you pick a direction before paying for a finish on another model.
One caveat on price
The catalog marks Soul's list rate as the authenticated Higgsfield estimate for Sume's account, not a published tariff. The rate in the repo was verified on 2026-09-17. Treat it as the number Sume bills today and check pricing on the endpoint route before a large run.
Use it for
- Reels and TikTok cover drafts at 9:16, and grid-friendly 3:4 tiles.
- Mood boards and look tests before a finish on Nano Banana or GPT Image 2.5.
- Any job where you want many cheap variants and do not need exact text in the image.
Moving from draft to final
A practical flow is Soul for fifty cheap looks, then a finish on a row that can follow a reference. Soul cannot take a reference image, so the handoff is manual: pick the best draft, describe it in the final prompt (or pass the draft as input_references to an edit-capable row), and render the final at the ratio you will publish. Fifty 720p drafts cost $0.25, and a final on Nano Banana 2.1 at 2K adds $0.15.
For a series, keep the style words and the ratio fixed across drafts so that the set looks like one family. Consistency comes from your prompt text and fixed ratio.
Do not use it for
Edits of a real photo, since references return 400 unsupported_parameter; and text-heavy covers, where you should test a model with a quality knob such as GPT Image 2.5 or Ideogram 4.5. Request fields are on the Image API page: set resolution to 720p or 1080p and n to 1 or 4.
