Troubleshooting Billing Issues
Last updated
Work through these checks in order — the first one resolves most cases.
Signing in with a different method creates a separate Ideogram account: Google, Apple, and email sign-ins with different addresses are all distinct accounts, each with its own subscription. A common symptom is signing in and unexpectedly seeing a free plan — that usually means you're in a different account than the one you subscribed with.
Check which email address received the charge receipt — that's the account that holds the subscription.
Sign in with that email or sign-in method, then open Manage Subscription to confirm the subscription is there and cancel it.
Per the Terms of Service, cancellations must be made at least 5 days before the renewal date. If you cancelled closer to renewal than that, the charge for the new period may still have been processed. Contact support@ideogram.ai with the date you cancelled and the date of the charge.
A completed cancellation shows on the billing management screen as a cancelled plan with an access end date. If your plan still shows as active with a next renewal date, the cancellation didn't go through — cancel again following Cancelling Your Subscription.
If a renewal charge fails (expired card, insufficient funds, or a decline):
Open Manage Subscription → Manage billing and update your payment method.
Failed charges are retried automatically over the following days, so updating your payment method is usually enough.
If your plan benefits don't return after the payment succeeds, contact support@ideogram.ai.
To resolve a billing issue in one round-trip, email support@ideogram.ai with:
the email address of your Ideogram account — plus any other addresses or sign-in methods you may have used;
the date and amount of the charge;
the invoice number or receipt (see Invoices, Receipts, and Tax Details);
for cancellation issues: the date you cancelled.
