Linear, no discount.

When the premium is worth it

Ideogram v3’s distinguishing capability in the model catalogue is legible text inside generated images — logos, posters, typographic and editorial work. That is the one thing the cheaper models in this lineup are not positioned for.

The decision is therefore binary rather than a price comparison: if your output contains words that have to be readable, this is the model built for it. If it does not, you are paying 50% more than Nano Banana for a capability you will not use.

Against the alternatives

Nano Banana 4 credits, Flux Pro v1.1 5 credits. Full breakdown in AI image generation API pricing compared.

What this page does not claim

This is Genace’s price. Ideogram sets its own direct pricing, which is not reproduced here. The text-rendering positioning is taken from the model catalogue, not from a measured comparison.
