What is Midjourney?
Midjourney generates images (and short videos) from text prompts and reference images. It is popular for concept art, mood boards and stylized visuals where a strong aesthetic matters more than exact control.
Midjourney's documentation lists Basic, Standard, Pro and Mega plans and does not describe a free plan. All plans include its General Commercial Terms, but companies with more than US$1,000,000 in gross annual revenue must use the Pro or Mega plan. Stealth mode, which keeps your images private, is only on Pro and Mega.
Without Stealth mode, your generations may be visible to others, so avoid using it for confidential product launches on lower plans.
