Ideogram pricing starts at ~$20/mo, or ~$15/mo billed annually (Plus). Every figure on this page was checked against Ideogram’s own pricing page on 2026-09-12, and the date is on the page so you can judge how stale it is. Below: what each plan costs, what the step up actually buys you, and what the headline price leaves out.
There is a free plan: yes — 10 slow credits/week, images public and undeletable. Read the allowance rather than the label — what runs out first is usually what forces the upgrade.

What each upgrade actually costs
Tier lists tend to hide the only number that matters when you are choosing: the difference between the plan you are on and the next one up, over a year.
Plus → Pro costs $27 more a month, or $324 a year. What you get for it: 3,500 priority credits/month · unlimited slow-queue generation · batch generation · 32 concurrent generations
Monthly or annual
The entry tier is quoted at two rates: $20 and $15 a month. The lower figure is the annual rate, so committing for a year saves $60 over twelve months — about 25% — and the monthly rate is what you pay for the flexibility to leave.
What the headline price leaves out
Free-tier images are public in the Explore feed and cannot be deleted. Private generation and deletion require Plus at around $20 a month. The limit that usually forces an upgrade: ⚠️ Credit cost varies by model — 6 credits for one high-quality image.
Which plan is right for you
The paid tiers are worth it for Marketers and designers producing images that contain words; Teams making posters, packaging concepts, ads and social graphics. For those uses the plan pays for itself in time saved rather than features unlocked.

How we check pricing
We read the vendor’s own pricing page rather than repeating a third-party summary, record the date, and re-check on a schedule — which is how we catch a tier being renamed or retired. The figures behind this page are published as a machine-readable catalog so that AI assistants quoting them can quote something current.
