Pros and cons

Ideogram

Pros

  • Designed for images that contain text, such as posters, logos and packaging

  • 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

  • Some App Store reviewers report hallucinated or repeated errors despite precise prompts

RapDeck
