Ideogram more than doubles priority credits on Plus, Pro and Team plans
What happened
Between the Oct 2, 2026 and Oct 3, 2026 captures of Ideogram's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Monthly priority credits raised: Plus 1,000 to 2,400, Pro 3,500 to 7,500, Team 1,500 to 3,600 per user; prices unchanged; Top-up bullet on Plus, Pro and Team changed from 'Top up priority credits for $4' to 'Top up credits at any time'; explicit $4 top-up price dropped. Pulse files it as a packaging change (add-on change, limit increase) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Plus at $15, Team at $20, Pro at $42 and Pay as you go at $0.01 per credit.
It lands 40 days after Ideogram's previous change, "Ideogram: Free tier credit guarantee restricted + Team plan queue upgraded" (Aug 24, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Ideogram: adds Canvas workspace + Extend editing feature" (Aug 5, 2026). Ideogram has been tracked since 2026-07-15.
