Seedream 5.0 Lite edit: 10 references at $0.035 an image
fal lists Seedream 5.0 Lite edit at $0.035 per image with up to 10 reference images and 3072x3072 output. How to size that against Sume's catalog.

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.

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.
