Ideogram 4.0 added to the per-image API

Ideogram pricing

Ideogram's API now lists an Ideogram 4.0 model tier ($0.03 Turbo / $0.06 Default / $0.10 Quality per image, plus 4.0 Custom inference at $0.06–$0.20), alongside new Generate-with-Gemini, Instructional Edit, Topaz Upscale and Layerize endpoints. The consumer subscription ladder (Free/Plus $15/Pro $42/Team $20-seat/Enterprise) is unchanged.

Before

Per-image API headlined by Ideogram 3.0 ($0.03–$0.09/image), 2-series and legacy models, plus utility/transparent/upscale endpoints.

After

Adds Ideogram 4.0 ($0.03/$0.06/$0.10) and 4.0 Custom inference, plus Generate-with-Gemini ($0.20–$0.36), Instructional Edit ($0.20), Topaz Upscale ($0.12–$0.48) and Layerize ($0.09+) endpoints.

What these images do and don't show
  • These prices come from our capture alone — they were not confirmed against an independent second source.

Both images are our own captures, taken on the dates shown. The pixels are unmodified — nothing is retouched, and where a region is highlighted the marker is drawn over the image, not into it. Open either capture to see it at full resolution.
