ByteDance Seedream v4 Image edit pricing
bytedance/seedream-v4/edit
ByteDance's previous-generation edit model. Dimensions are a literal width by height string rather than an aspect ratio, at a single flat price.
What it costs
Per image, and what that comes to at volume. Every figure is computed through the same function the app estimates a real run with.
| Tier | per image | 1 image | 10 images | 100 images | 1,000 images |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat rate | $0.027 | $0.027 | $0.27 | $2.70 | $27.00 |

Others in this lane
Image to image. You supply one or more reference images and a prompt, and the model returns a new image of the same subject. This is the lane every persona workflow runs on, because the reference is what holds the face steady.
