At a glance
Ideogram is an image generation AI that is especially good at placing text (typography) accurately inside images. Ideogram 4.5, released on September 30, 2026, centers on precise editing that does not shift colors or textures even after repeated edits. It now also covers Studio (layer editing), a video app and external models (GPT Image, Nano Banana) in one place. It suits people who need designs with text, such as posters, logos, thumbnails and social media cards.

Prices exclude tax, and there is no official won price. According to the official plan FAQ, Ideogram does not claim ownership of generated images, and you can use them for any purpose, including commercial use (this is general guidance that does not distinguish between plans, see the terms of service for details). However, generations on the Free plan are public.
Which plan to choose
- Free: People who want to test a few images with text in them. Generations are public, so avoid work drafts.
- Plus: Individual creators/small business owners who steadily make thumbnails/posters/social media cards. You get private generation and can use premium models such as Nano Banana/GPT Image.
- Pro: Freelance designers who need bulk batch generation or a custom model in their own art style.
- Team: Marketing/design teams where 2 or more people manage credits and results together.
- Enterprise: Companies that want to train a dedicated model on their own brand images or use the API in bulk.
Notes
- Information checked: 2026-10-12
- The credit usage per image/video and the amount of free weekly credits are not given as fixed figures on the official page (you can check them in the app under Settings → Usage costs). Commercial use is described as allowed in the official plan FAQ.
