Where the money goes with Midjourney

Midjourney has no free plan. You pay a flat monthly subscription per user: Basic is $10, Standard $30, Pro $60 and Mega $120. Paying yearly upfront takes 20% off, which works out to $8, $24, $48 and $96 per month. Sales tax or VAT is calculated at checkout and added on top.

Each plan sets a budget of Fast GPU time: 3.3 hours (200 minutes) on Basic, 15 hours on Standard, 30 hours on Pro and 60 hours on Mega. Standard and above add unlimited images in Relax mode, and Pro and Mega also include unlimited SD video in Relax. Basic is the cheapest way to start, with Web and Discord access and Fast time only. There is no free trial on the website or Discord.

Costs that are easy to miss

  • Extra Fast GPU time costs $4 per hour, is non-refundable, expires 60 days after purchase and needs an active subscription.
  • HD images use 1.3 GPU minutes versus 0.8 for SD, and a batch of 4 HD videos costs 26 GPU minutes, so your Fast time goes faster on HD.
  • Companies with over $1M yearly gross revenue must be on Pro or Mega.
  • Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout, so the final charge can be higher than the listed price.
