|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedream 5.0 Pro | 1K, 2K | No separate selector | Up to 5 references | 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9, 9:21 |
| Seedream 5.0 Lite | 2K, 4K | No separate selector | Up to 5 references | 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9, 9:21 |
These are Clico controls. A provider may expose additional features on its own platform. Availability depends on your account and the generation provider.
A panoramic image can give a scene room to breathe. Tell the model where the subject belongs so the extra width serves the composition.

The model, references and actual output usage determine the charge. Quality is not a fixed price per picture.
Image generation uses the selected model’s metering rates. The same rate can still produce a different bill when the request uses more tokens. Reference images can add input usage, and generating multiple images adds output usage.
The table shows the Clico metering rates reviewed on September 10, 2026, in USD per million billing tokens. It is not a price per image or per second. Your account balance and current plan determine access.
| Model | Text input | Image input | Image output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedream 5.0 Pro | $0.00 | Uses input rate | $58.50 |
| Seedream 5.0 Lite | $0.00 | Uses input rate | $45.50 |
