Seedream 4.0

the unit$0.0252 per generation · Flora's usage budget is denominated in dollars, not credits: Starter is $18/seat/month and includes $18 of usage per seat, Pro $50 for $50, Max $200 for $200. A dollar of budget therefore costs a dollar and there is nothing to convert. On-demand spending above the budget is charged at the same published rates with no markup. A launch bonus running through 30 September 2026 adds $12/seat on Starter, $50 on Pro and $100 on Max; the unbonused rate is the one used here.

the verdictCHEAP · cheapest third for this operation

the catchCheaper than the same family on fal.ai ($0.03 per megapixel for Seedream V4) and the least expensive image generation in this file that comes from a canvas service. Flora also lists Seedream 4.5 at $0.0336 and Seedream 5 Pro at $0.1746. Flora is the counter-example to Higgsfield: the same kind of business - a canvas that resells other people's models - but it publishes the dollar cost of every generation, so the entry needs no assumption at all.
