What is Ideogram?
Ideogram generates images from text prompts. Eligible free accounts receive weekly credits when signing in with Google, Apple or Microsoft; the amount may vary.
By default, all images on Ideogram are published, so free generations are public. Plus (1,000 priority credits a month) adds private generation and quality export; Pro (3,500 a month) adds batch generation and a larger generation queue.
Plus is $20 a month or $15 a month billed annually ($180 a year); Pro is $60 a month or $42 billed annually ($504 a year), in US dollars before tax.
