Pros and cons

Ideogram

Pros

Cons

  • Free plan gives 30 credits per week and all generations are public
  • Private generation requires a paid plan starting at $20 per month
  • Email-and-password free accounts receive no credits
  • Unused credits do not roll over, and edits and upscales need credits even after the slower queue starts
  • Some App Store reviewers report hallucinated or repeated errors despite precise prompts

Ideoy

Pros

  • Prices and refund rules are stated clearly
  • Failed renders are refunded automatically
  • Discloses the underlying model and safety screening
