Through an API

api · Replicate · $0.080/image · replicate.com ↗ · price sourceUSD per output image on Replicate's official ideogram-ai/ideogram-v2 model (billing: $0.08 per output image, "or around 12 images for $1"; hardware time not added). Product: Replicate model API. API model: ideogram-ai/ideogram-v2 (Ideogram 2.0, not the Turbo variant). Settings: one output image. Price basis: published list rate. fal's fal-ai/ideogram/v2 also bills $0.08 per image. Ideogram's own API still serves V_2 through its legacy /generate endpoint, but its API pricing page did not render a price. Currency: USD. Not an Ideogram direct tariff.

Each result implies a score on its own, after adjusting for how hard its test is and who ran it. The score is their weighted average, with a small pull toward the middle for thinly tested models. Each test's weight is its counts column above; here it's added up by who ran the tests. How it works
