Midjourney

Overview

Midjourney is the most aesthetically refined AI image generator, excelling at concept art, illustration and stylized visuals. V6.1 delivers higher resolution, better hands and more accurate text rendering. Basic ($10/mo) provides ~200 fast generations; Standard ($30/mo) adds unlimited relaxed mode plus 15 fast hours. Best for designers, illustrators and creatives producing visually striking concept work. Strengths: highest aesthetic ceiling, community gallery (learn from others' prompts), style reference (--sref). Weaknesses: no free trial, poor Chinese prompt support (English needed), less precise control than Stable Diffusion + ControlNet.
