Before you pay
- Plans sell Fast GPU time, not images. Midjourney puts one image prompt, which makes four images, at about 1 GPU minute (0.8 in SD, 1.3 in HD), so Basic's 200 Fast minutes are about 200 prompts, or about 800 images (615 if all HD, 1,000 if all SD). Creative and Subtle upscales use 2 minutes each, and unused Fast time does not roll over.
- No free plan or website trial, and refunds only if the account has used less than 20 GPU minutes in its lifetime. Extra Fast time ($4 an hour) is non-refundable and expires after 60 days.
- Images are public on Midjourney's Explore page by default; Stealth mode for private work needs Pro or Mega, and the terms give Midjourney a perpetual license to your prompts and images.
- A company with more than $1 million a year in revenue must be on Pro or Mega to own its images.
