description: >-
  Ideogram API uses a per-image rendering tier model: Turbo, Default, and Quality each priced
  per image. Reported public rates as of May 2026 are roughly $0.03 (Turbo) to $0.09
  (Quality) per image. Custom model training and editing operations consume additional
  charges. Subscription plans on the consumer site (Basic/Plus/Pro) are separate from API
  pricing.
notes: Reconciled per published API pricing references; verify exact rate sheet during sales conversation for production volumes.
