Buying Extra Credits

Buy Ideogram credits on top of your plan, set up auto recharge, or pay as you go without a plan. One credit costs one US cent.

You can buy credits at any time, with or without a plan. One credit costs one US cent.

Add credits

1. Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar.

2. Select Wallet & Billing.

3. In the Credit balance card, click Add credits.

   

   Click Add credits in the Credit balance card.
4. Choose One-time purchase.

5. Pick $10, $20, $50 or $100, or enter an amount from $1 to $300. The dialog shows how many credits you'll get.

6. Click Purchase $X. If you haven't saved a card yet, you'll add one first.

If you have a plan, Buy credits in the user menu also works. Subscribers can also click Buy extra credits on their plan card under Settings → Plans.

Auto recharge

Auto recharge buys credits for you when your balance runs low, so long jobs don't stop halfway.

1. Click your avatar and select Wallet & Billing.

2. Click Turn on auto recharge in the Credit balance card.

3. Set a Trigger balance in US dollars.

4. Set a Recharge balance in US dollars.

When your balance drops below the trigger, Ideogram charges your card to bring it back up to the recharge balance.

Change or stop auto recharge

1. Click your avatar and select Wallet & Billing.

2. Click Manage auto recharge.

3. Click Save changes after you edit the amounts, or click Turn off auto recharge.

How purchased credits work

• You spend them only after your monthly plan credits run out.

• They expire 365 days after you buy them.

• They don't depend on your subscription. If you cancel, or your plan ends, you can still use them until they expire.

Pay as you go

You don't need a plan to use Ideogram. Without one, you buy credits and spend them as you go. Your plan shows as Pay as you go in the user menu and on Wallet & Billing.

Start pay as you go

1. Go to Settings → Plans.

2. Open the Credits tab.

3. On the Pay as you go card, pick an amount ($5–$100).

4. Click Get started.

Pay as you go isn't open to accounts with an active subscription. To switch to it, cancel your subscription; it opens up when your paid period ends.

Team members

Team members can't buy credits themselves. The team owner buys them for each member, $20 to $200 at a time (400 credits per $4). See Team Plan.

Subscribed through the iOS app?

You can't buy credits on the web if your plan is billed through the App Store. See Subscriptions Through the iOS App.
