Basic produces 1K; high produces 2K.
3× COGS
The measured upstream cost of high is three times basic, so the price reflects it.
Verified runs
Basic, high and edit—run through the real API.
These are our own July 27 outputs. The high-quality fashion frame also supplied the measured 2K cost used by the billing catalog.

Why add another model
Seedream 5.0 Pro covers jobs the cheap default should not.
The value is not simply novelty. It is a stronger option for art-directed commercial frames and controlled reference workflows.
Campaigns
Direct a polished hero image.
Specify composition, material, lighting, palette and the intended placement in a campaign or product page.
Information
Handle denser visual hierarchy.
The model is designed for infographics and information-heavy layouts, though final text still needs review.
Editing
Use references for controlled revisions.
One reference can anchor a product; several can supply the subject, environment, material and style.
Limit
High quality is materially more expensive.
Our live Kie tests measured 2K/high at three times the upstream cost of 1K/basic. Use high after the direction is settled.
Measured cost per image
1K for exploration. 2K only when it earns the cost.
The two prices come from live Kie account usage, not a guess. The server maps the public 1K/2K labels to Seedream's basic/high parameter and charges accordingly.

Edit accepts up to ten JPEG, PNG or WebP references, each no larger than 10MB.
Create and Edit have separate Seedream 5 Pro model IDs behind the same workbench.
A provider failure or rejected final image returns the deducted credits automatically.
Use it deliberately
A production model benefits from a production brief.
Treat references and constraints as inputs, not afterthoughts.
01 / Brief
State the asset, hierarchy and destination.
Describe whether this is a hero, ad, product detail or infographic, then name the subject and non-negotiable layout.
02 / References
Give each source image a role.
Explain which source anchors the product, identity, pose, scene or visual language instead of uploading an unexplained pile.
03 / Resolution
Explore in basic, finish in high.
The 2K route costs materially more. Confirm the composition at 1K before paying for the larger final output.
Pricing
See the plan and per-image cost together.
This page keeps model costs next to annual, monthly and pay-as-you-go options so the economics are visible.
Pricing / model ledger
One balance. 4 real model costs.
Every plan works for prompt generation and image editing. The generator shows the exact cost before each run; failed runs are refunded automatically.
Cost per image by resolution
Choose 1K, 2K or 4K in the generator. Editing costs the same as creating on Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2.

Seedream 5.0 Pro questions
Availability, editing, resolution and the unusually large high-quality cost difference.
New model, real controls
Use Seedream 5.0 Pro in the live workbench.
Start at 1K, use references when control matters, and move to 2K only after the composition earns the higher cost.
