Pros and cons

Ideogram

Pros

  • Designed for images that contain text, such as posters, logos and packaging
  • Editing tools including Canvas, Magic Fill, Extend, upscale and background removal
  • Public API, MCP integration and iOS app
  • 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

Plus AI

Pros

  • Works inside PowerPoint and Google Slides, so decks stay in native, editable formats.
  • Accepts documents (PDF, docx, text) as source material for decks.

  • Offers an API and MCP server for use from other AI tools and agents.
  • Company reports SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Cons

  • No permanent free tier; a credit card is required to start the 7-day trial.
  • Credit-based limits (1,500 to 6,000 per month) mean heavy users may need a higher tier, and Max costs $240 per month.
  • Custom slide masters are limited to the Enterprise plan.
  • Requires PowerPoint or Google Slides; there is no standalone mobile app.
