  • Ideogram 4.0 is an open-weight model
  • Team plan with central billing and per-member credits

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

ImgAuth

Pros

  • Focused on two clear tasks, document tampering and AI-generated image detection

Cons

  • No published accuracy figures or independent benchmarks
  • Not a deepfake, face-swap, liveness or identity tool, and the site's wording on face-swap detection is inconsistent
  • 10 MB file limit and no free ongoing tier after the 3 trial credits
  • Mobile app is only announced, with an outdated launch estimate (Q2 2025) on the site
  • Operating company is named only as ImgAuth Ltd, with no team or founding details published
