Pricing and conditions
Documented terms
USD before tax: Plus 20/month monthly, or 180/year prepaid (15/month equivalent), with 2,400 monthly credits. Free gives 30/week only with Google/Apple/Microsoft login; email accounts get none. Monthly credits do not roll over. Reference-image jobs, edits and partner models still require credits after exhaustion; they are outside the paid slower-queue allowance. API pricing and local tax/availability are separate.

This entry covers the hosted app, not model weights or the API agreement. Terms allow commercial output use but require rights to inputs and third-party clearance. Ideogram receives broad operating/improving/promoting rights while content is stored; public output may be remixed by other users. The private-content exception limits other users' reuse, not every vendor processing right. New images on Plus and higher plans are private until published; Free is public. No universal no-training or zero-retention commitment was verified.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.5/5 rating is retained. Its original scoring worksheet is unavailable; this documentation review does not rescore the product or measure output quality.
Overview
Ideogram is a hosted image-creation and editing workspace with its own and selected partner models. Documentation describes text-in-image prompts, Studio editing and reference images; this directory has not measured spelling accuracy or compared aesthetics.
Choose a model for the actual task and check its reference support and credit cost. Public/private defaults vary by plan, and commercial use still needs review of uploaded assets and generated content.
