Midjourney is the leading AI image generator for painterly, photorealistic and stylized art, now with a full browser-native website (Create/Explore/Edit) alongside its original Discord bot, no Discord required anymore.
No permanent free tier. Basic $10/mo, Standard $30/mo, Pro $60/mo, Mega $120/mo (all -20% on annual billing). V7 adds Omni Reference (consistent characters across scenes), inpaint/outpaint editing, style-URL referencing and 10x-cheaper Draft Mode generation.
Designers and art directors who need the highest aesthetic quality and consistency for hero imagery, concept art or campaign visuals, and are willing to pay for it from day one.
Use the website's Edit tools (inpaint/outpaint) to fix small details in an otherwise-good image instead of re-rolling the whole generation: much cheaper on Draft Mode credits.
