Nothing left behind
Not one house style — the whole frontier.
Flux.2, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, Imagen 4, Seedream, Ideogram, Recraft — real outputs, not logos. Different jobs want different models; here you pick per image.
More than a model list
Get to the result, not just the render.
The models are the raw material. These are the shortcuts that turn a prompt into something you can actually ship — no prompt craft required.
One tap each
58 one-click apps
Headshots, product shots, restored photos. Pick the job — we've chosen the model and the settings for you, so there's no prompt syntax to learn.
Consistent characters
Lock one face and keep it across every image and scene — held from a single anchor, not re-rolled with each prompt.
One box. No training, no LoRA, no reference photo required.
Side-by-side
The honest comparison.
Only the things a buyer actually weighs — and where Midjourney wins, we mark it plainly.
Figures are from both companies' public pricing pages, last reviewed July 2026. We're not putting a cost-per-image line here on purpose — Midjourney sells GPU time and we sell credits, so any per-image number would depend entirely on which model and settings you picked on each side.
The fine print, in your favor
No surprises in the bill.
You only pay for what works
If a generation errors out or comes back unusable, your credits come back automatically — no support ticket, no waiting.
Credits, not GPU hours
Every model shows exactly what a run costs before you press generate. Explore with a cheap, fast model; spend on a premium one only for the final.
One studio: image, video & voice
Generate a still, turn it into a clip, give it a voice — without stitching three subscriptions together or leaving the canvas.
Let's be fair
Midjourney has the look.
One model, tuned for years, with an aesthetic people recognize instantly — plus style and character references that hold a look across a whole body of work. If that signature is what you're paying for, nothing else matches it, and we won't pretend otherwise.
But if you've wanted to see the output before committing money — Midjourney has had no free trial since 2023, and its plans are sold in fast GPU hours rather than a number of images. That's the part we do differently.
- Midjourney's signature aesthetic is the product you're buying — nothing else looks quite like it
- You rely on its style and character reference controls and the community built around them
