- An image costs $0.081 at the default settings. By rendering speed, a run costs $0.041 to $0.125. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.
- Is Ideogram 3.0 free to try?

- Can I use what I make commercially?
- Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as ideogram/ideogram-v3, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
- Do I need an Ideogram account?
- No. Leap sends your request to Ideogram's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs Ideogram 3.0 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.
Your idea, Ideogram 3.0.
Every run shows its price before it starts, and one that fails costs nothing.
