Overview

Midjourney remains a go-to for concept art and mood boards because of its look and the control it gives over style. The plans are simple but unforgiving: there is no free tier, and privacy and relaxed video require the Pro tier. A company with more than $1M in annual revenue must use Pro or Mega under the stated terms, so read them before buying for a business.

Who it's for

A good fit if you are…

  • Designers and art directors exploring visual concepts and moodboards
  • Creators who want a distinct aesthetic and are fine with a subscription

Another tool may suit you better if you are…

  • People who need strict brand-safe text in images (try Ideogram)
  • Anyone who wants a free plan

Pricing

Subscriptions from $10/mo (Basic) to $120/mo (Mega); about 20% off when billed yearly. As of Oct 2026, verify.

  • Basic $10/mo, Standard $30/mo, Pro $60/mo, Mega $120/mo; yearly billing saves 20%.
  • Relax mode (unlimited images) starts at Standard; unlimited relaxed video starts at Pro.
  • Stealth Mode (private generations) is Pro and Mega only.
  • Companies above $1M annual gross revenue must use Pro or Mega, per the plan comparison page.
