Your usage
Priority credits skip the generation queue and come bundled with each paid consumer plan (Plus 1,000, Pro 3,500, Team 1,500 per user). Slow credits stay unlimited on every paid plan, so this is the lever that decides which tier fits.
💡 Ideogram 3.0 Default burns ~6 credits per 4 images; a busy creator runs ~1,000–3,500/mo, a small team several thousand.
Team seats are a Team-plan lever billed at $20/user/mo; each seat brings its own 1,500 priority credits. Adding a seat selects the Team plan. (Leave at 0 for the individual Free/Plus/Pro tiers.)
💡 A 5-person studio runs ~5 seats (+$100/mo, +7,500 priority credits); the slider scales to a 10,000-seat org, where you'd move to a custom Enterprise contract.
Output images generated through the developer API (separate pay-as-you-go track, no subscription). Pick the model/quality below to set the per-image rate. Leave at 0 if you only use the web app.
💡 A product feature shipping ~20,000 images/mo at 3.0 Default ($0.06) costs ~$1,200/mo; the default rate limit is 10 in-flight requests.
The per-output-image API rate by model and rendering speed. Adding a character-reference image raises 3.0 rates to $0.10–$0.20 (not modeled here).
Add-ons
Top up 150 priority credits for $4 on the Plus plan.
Top up 250 priority credits for $4 on the Pro plan.
