Ideogram review

Ideogram is the generator to pick when the image needs words in it, such as a poster headline, a T-shirt slogan or a logo. Its pricing page lists Ideogram 4.5, 4.0 and 3.0 plus an Ideogram Vector model, and side apps for precise edits, background and object removal, ad resizing and colorways. Plus costs $20 a month, or $180 billed annually, and includes 2,400 priority credits plus unlimited slow credits, private generation and unlimited character consistency. Pro at $60 adds batch generation and the best cost per credit, and Team is $30 per user a month. If you only need a few images, pay as you go costs 1 cent a credit, and a medium quality Ideogram 4.5 image uses 6 credits. The pricing page lists no free plan, and high quality renders with source images use 22 credits each. We compared documented features and published prices rather than testing the app.
