Midjourney Pricing 2026

Midjourney costs: Basic $10/month (~200 images), Standard $30/month (~900 images), Pro $60/month (~1,800 images + stealth mode), Mega $120/month (~3,600 images). Annual billing saves 20%. There's no free tier.

No, Midjourney no longer offers a free trial. The entry point is the Basic plan at $10/month ($8 with annual billing). Midjourney discontinued free trials due to abuse. You must subscribe to generate images.

Fast GPU time generates images quickly (30-60 seconds). Relax mode queues images with longer wait times (1-10+ minutes) but is unlimited on Standard+ plans. When Fast hours run out, you're limited to Relax mode.

Midjourney excels at artistic, stylized images with exceptional quality. DALL-E 3 (via ChatGPT) is better at following precise prompts and text in images. Midjourney costs $10-120/month; DALL-E is included in ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) with limits.

Stealth mode keeps your images private - they won't appear in Midjourney's public gallery or be visible to other users. It's only available on Pro ($60/month) and Mega ($120/month) plans. Lower tiers have all images publicly visible.

Yes, all paid Midjourney plans include general commercial usage rights. You can use generated images for commercial projects, products, and marketing. Read the full Terms of Service for specific restrictions.

Approximate images per month: Basic ~200, Standard ~900, Pro ~1,800, Mega ~3,600. Actual count varies by image quality settings, upscaling, and variations. Standard+ plans have unlimited Relax mode for more images at slower speeds.

Yes, Midjourney now has a web interface at midjourney.com in addition to Discord. The web version offers a cleaner experience for generating, organizing, and downloading images. Both Discord and web are included in all plans.

Midjourney v6 is the latest model version with improved photorealism, text rendering, and prompt understanding. All paid subscribers can access v6. Each version improves image quality and capabilities.

Midjourney Standard ($30/month) is worth it for regular creators who need ~900 images and unlimited Relax mode. If you generate images daily, Standard provides good value. Casual users may find Basic ($10) sufficient.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription anytime. Monthly subscriptions end at the billing period. Annual subscriptions provide service for the full year but no prorated refunds. You keep access until your period ends.

Midjourney generally doesn't offer refunds for used subscriptions. If you've generated images, refunds are unlikely. For billing issues or unused subscriptions, contact support. Annual plans have no partial refunds.

Midjourney plans include limited fast GPU hours — the Standard plan ($30/month) gives 15 hours, and the Pro plan ($60/month) gives 30 hours. After using your fast hours, you're moved to 'Relax Mode' where generation times increase to 5-40+ minutes per image. Users report getting only 500-700 usable images per month on the Standard plan before hitting these slow queues, despite marketing claims of 'unlimited' generations.

Multiple users report being denied refunds even when requested within an hour of subscribing. Midjourney appears to enforce a strict no-refund policy once you've used the service at all, even if you experience technical issues, account problems, or poor results. Users banned from the platform also report no refunds for unused subscription time.

At $2 per fast GPU hour across all plans, and with generation times varying based on complexity, users effectively pay per generation. The Standard plan at $30/month with 15 fast hours works out to heavy users hitting slow queues after 500-700 images, meaning roughly $0.04-$0.06 per fast-mode image before being relegated to slow queues.

Users report that failed generations, system crashes, and glitchy outputs (bad anatomy, composition errors) still consume your fast GPU hours. There's no credit refund for failed attempts or unusable results, meaning you may waste 10-20% of your subscription on re-generations to get usable images.

While Midjourney offers subscription plans, the quotas are strict and finite. What's marketed as 'unlimited' actually operates on a pay-as-you-go model once you exceed your monthly fast compute allocation. Heavy users should expect additional costs beyond the base subscription price.
