Ideogram: Free tier credit guarantee restricted + Team plan queue upgraded
What happened
Between the Aug 17, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 captures of Ideogram's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Free plan slow credits changed from guaranteed '10 slow credits/week' to 'Weekly for eligible accounts' (conditional, amount varies); Team plan generation queue upgraded from 'Larger' to 'Largest', now matching Pro. In detail: Free plan's slow-credit allowance changed from a guaranteed '10 slow credits/week' for all free users to 'Weekly for eligible accounts' — the fixed amount is gone and eligibility is now conditional (e.g. signing in with Google/Apple/Microsoft); Team plan's generation queue tier upgraded from 'Larger' to 'Largest', now matching the Pro plan's queue capacity. Newly called out as an included feature on the Team plan card. Pulse files it as a packaging change (freemium 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 19 days after Ideogram's previous change, "Ideogram: adds Canvas workspace + Extend editing feature" (Aug 5, 2026). Ideogram has been tracked since 2026-07-15.
In the same window Runway, Perplexity AI, Microsoft and Canva also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
