Best for: Artists and creators who want a strong stylised look for concept art and thumbnails

Strength: Entry plan is cheap at $10/mo with about 3.3 hours of Fast GPU time.

Limitation: Basic has no Relax mode, so once Fast hours run out you have to upgrade or buy more time.

Pricing (2026-10-16): Basic $10/mo or $96/yr; higher tiers (Standard, Pro, Mega) cost more. See docs.midjourney.com/docs/en/plans.
