# Available Plans

Last verified: August 21, 2026 against the current subscription management flow.

For current plan names, prices, included credits, top-up options, billing cadence, and feature availability, use the live pricing page: [ideogram.ai/pricing](https://ideogram.ai/pricing).

This page gives a stable overview of how plans and credits work. Pricing and credit amounts can change, so do not rely on static tables in docs for purchase decisions.

## Plans

Ideogram offers free and paid plan options. Paid plans can unlock additional capabilities such as more generation capacity, priority processing, private generation, uploads, advanced tools, team administration, and batch generation, depending on the plan and current product rollout.

Team plan details are covered in [Team Plan](/plans-and-pricing/team-plan.md). API access is billed and managed separately from normal Ideogram subscriptions; see [Ideogram API](/plans-and-pricing/ideogram-api.md).

## Credit System

Ideogram uses credits for image generation and some tools. Credit usage can depend on:

* selected model;
* render speed;
* number of output images;
* resolution or size tier;
* workflow or tool used.

For model-specific or endpoint-specific credit costs, use current product pricing, generated pricing data, or owner-verified cost data.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Credit usage:** Reference and Edit image tools use **priority credits** on paid plans — they don't run in the slow queue. On the Free plan, these tools run using **Slow credits**.
{% endhint %}

## Priority and Slow Credits

Priority credits are processed ahead of slow-queue generations. Slow credits or slow queue access can be available according to your plan and current product policy.

If your priority credits run out, Ideogram may move eligible generations to the slow queue or require a top-up, upgrade, or later retry depending on your plan and current product state.

## Top-Up Credits

Paid plans can buy extra priority credits on top of the monthly allowance. To top up, click your profile picture and select **Manage plan**, then click **Top up credits** on the Plans and pricing page — or use the **Top-up** button at the bottom of the sidebar. Pick a quantity and complete the checkout.

As the dialog notes:

* Your top-up balance is used **after** your monthly priority credits run out.
* Unused top-up credits **carry over** month to month while your subscription is active.
* Top-up credits **expire a year from purchase**.

The credit pack size for the price varies by plan — higher plans get more credits per top-up. See the in-product dialog or [ideogram.ai/pricing](https://ideogram.ai/pricing) for current rates.
