Midjourney review

Midjourney is the pick for people who judge an AI art generator by how the pictures look. It sells four subscriptions. Basic costs $10 a month, or $96 a year, and includes 3.3 hours of Fast GPU time, which Midjourney's plan page equates to 200 minutes. Standard at $30 a month adds unlimited image generations in Relax Mode, the setting most heavy users rely on, plus HD video. Pro at $60 adds Stealth Mode, so your work does not appear in the public gallery, and raises fast image concurrency to 12 prompts. Extra Fast time is $4 an hour on every tier. Images on all plans fall under Midjourney's General Commercial Terms, but a company earning more than $1,000,000 a year must be on Pro or Mega. The trade-offs: there is no free tier, and privacy costs extra. We compared documented features and published prices rather than testing the app.
