Seedream 4 ByteDance image API pricing is currently $0.03 ($ / Image) per generated image. That is the public list rate from the llm-stats / ZeroEval feed, not a private contract. Volume discounts, resolution, duration, and voice or seed settings can change the invoice even when the published $ / Image stays the same.
Seedream 4 scores -152 on Image Gen and 2.4K on Image Edit. Win rate is 25.6% across 809 Image Gen matches. Pair that arena score with ByteDance image API pricing when you pick a model: a slightly lower Magia or ELO can still win if generations are much cheaper.
No. Seedream 4 is proprietary (Proprietary) and available through ByteDance's API. There is no public weight download, so ByteDance image API pricing is the rate that matters for production.
Start with Seedream 5.0 Lite, Grok Imagine Image 2.0, Qwen Image 3.0 Pro. Open a comparison page from this model to see $ / Image and Image Gen side by side, then jump back to the image generation pricing table and sort by price. The cheapest image generation API is not always the one with the highest arena score.
Use the Compare picker on this page, the same control as LLM comparison. Search by model or provider, pick a second model, and AnotherWrapper opens a dedicated Seedream 4 vs page with $ / Image, Image Gen, Image Edit, license, and release date. Share that URL if you want a second opinion on the matchup.
This page normalizes public llm-stats and ZeroEval arena data for image generation models, then quotes ByteDance image API pricing as $ / Image. Prices and scores refresh daily. Private endpoints, promo credits, and committed-use contracts can differ from the public list rate, so treat this as the comparable public number, not your invoice.
Seedream 4 was released on 2025-01-01. Newer image generation models appear first on the image generation pricing table. Release date is useful when you are avoiding a deprecated checkpoint, not when you are picking the cheapest $ / Image.
Seedream 4 has a measured throughput of 1.0 characters per second in the public feed. Real latency still depends on queueing, resolution, and clip length. Throughput is why two models with the same $ / Image can still feel different in production.
