Midjourney plans: GPU time, Relax Mode and Stealth

Midjourney generates images and video, paid in GPU time. Basic gives 3.3 Fast hours a month; Standard 15 hours plus unlimited images in Relax Mode; Pro 30 hours, unlimited Relax images and SD video, and Stealth Mode; Mega 60 hours with the same extras. All plans auto-renew monthly or yearly, and annual plans are 20% off, paid up front.

  • Four plans. Basic, Standard, Pro and Mega.
  • Unlimited Relax. Images from Standard; video from Pro.
  • Stealth Mode. Private images and videos on Pro and Mega.
  • Commercial use. Under Midjourney’s general commercial terms.
  • 20% off yearly. Paid up front.

Most important before you pay

Basic has no Relax Mode — when Fast hours run out, you buy more GPU time. Companies with more than $1M in yearly gross revenue must use Pro or Mega. Plans renew automatically until you set them to cancel.

Affiliate links are labeled

If a link is an affiliate link, we say so right next to it.

Short summary

Standard is the sweet spot for most people because Relax Mode makes image generation unlimited. Pro is for video, privacy (Stealth) and larger companies; Mega for heavy professional use. Basic suits occasional users who don’t mind buying extra time.

Unlimited Relax on Standard

No hard cap on images.

Privacy costs extra

Stealth Mode only on Pro and Mega.

We recommend first:
Designers and creators who generate images regularly.
With caveats:
Occasional users — Basic’s Fast hours run out without Relax.

Who Midjourney is for, and who it isn’t

Choose by volume, video and privacy.

A good choice

  • For regular image work

    Standard’s unlimited Relax images.

  • For video

    Unlimited Relax video from Pro.

  • For private projects

    Stealth Mode on Pro and Mega.

A weaker choice

  • If you want a free plan

    All plans are paid subscriptions.

  • If you’re a large company on Basic

    Over $1M revenue requires Pro or Mega.

  • If you need general chat

    A general assistant fits better.

Our score and what it’s made of

This is our own assessment based on checked facts. It isn’t an average of user reviews or the provider’s claim. Below — every criterion with its weight and source.

3,1

out of 5 · average of 4 plans · 7 of 8 criteria checked

The score is calculated from the criteria you see below: each criterion shows its weight, what exactly we found and where. Where we have the provider’s page, there’s a link with a check date; where the number comes from our catalog, we say so. “Not checked” means we don’t have the data and the criterion isn’t counted. “Provider doesn’t say” means we went through the provider’s pages but the information isn’t there; that criterion isn’t counted either. If you disagree with the weights — in the methodology you’ll see all the parts and can weigh them your own way. We don’t put app store ratings into structured data: they were collected on other websites, so they stay as visible text.

Features

What works now, what has only been announced, and how it connects with other services.

Editing images on midjourney.com

The web Editor edits both Midjourney images and your own uploads. A light version opens from your creations; the full Edit tab adds more tools.

  • Move and resize

    Reposition, scale, rotate and change the aspect ratio — including custom ratios in the Edit tab.

  • Paint and Smart Select

    Erase areas to regenerate them, or let Smart Select build a mask from points you click.

  • Layers

    Add other images on top to build a composition.

  • Suggest Prompt

    Uses Describe to write a prompt from your image.

  • Export

    Upscale to your gallery or download, including a transparent PNG.

Web is easier than Discord

Discord has most of the same features, but using your own images there means hosting them and pasting URLs first.

Midjourney turns an image into a 5-second video. What you can make depends on the plan and speed mode.

GPU time: what you actually buy

GPU time isn’t time on the site

Midjourney counts only the time its GPUs spend on your prompts — not how long you browse or wait.

Privacy, accessibility and transparency

What data you can control, how the accessibility features work, and what the provider discloses.

Your data and deleting your account

By default Midjourney creations are visible to others. Here is what Midjourney says about your data.

  • Stealth Mode

    Keeps your images and videos private — available only on Pro and Mega.

  • Where data is stored

    On Midjourney’s servers in the US; anything you post on Discord is governed by Discord.

  • Deleting your account

    Start at midjourney.com/account. Your subscription is canceled, you have 7 days to change your mind, and data is deleted within 30 days.

  • Website and Discord are synced

    Settings, including generation speed, change in both places at once.

If privacy matters for client work, Pro is the lowest plan with Stealth Mode.

Training data and AI labels

Midjourney publishes a training-data summary under California’s AB 2013 and lets anyone check whether it made an image.

  • Where training data comes from

    Content crawled from the public web, data from third parties and from Midjourney users, and internally generated data — billions of images, text and audiovisual items.

  • Copyright

    Midjourney says its dataset mixes licensed data, public-domain data and data that may be copyrighted, which it uses under fair use.

  • Checking an image

    midjourney.com/verify reads a hidden ID tag in every image Midjourney delivers. It’s free, needs no account, and doesn’t keep your upload.

  • When the check fails

    Screenshots, edits and most social sites strip the tag, so “no metadata found” doesn’t prove an image is human-made.

Uploading other people’s images is allowed only if you have the rights; Midjourney says abusive manipulation, including sexualized deepfakes, leads to a ban without refund.

What we don’t claim

Common claims about Midjourney, next to what its documentation says.

  • Every plan has unlimited images.

    Unlimited Relax images start with Standard; Basic has Fast hours only.

  • Images are private by default.

    Stealth Mode is only on Pro and Mega.

  • Any company can use Basic commercially.

    Companies over $1M yearly revenue must use Pro or Mega.

  • If there’s no price on the page, the service isn’t available in the US.

    Not necessarily. More often it means the provider doesn’t publish a fixed price or shows it only at checkout. Availability and a published price are two different things.

  • An annual plan always works out cheaper.

    Cheaper than the monthly plan only if you use the whole period. You pay for the whole year up front, and when you cancel you usually don’t get the unused part back — so it’s a saving for people who already know they’ll stay all year.

  • Deleting the app cancels the subscription.

    No. Deleting the app doesn’t stop the payments — only canceling in the account where you bought the subscription does. The app disappears, the bill stays.

  • Every plan looks the same in every country.

    No. The list of plans, the features in the same plan and the available languages can differ. That’s why we don’t carry data from another country over to the US page.

  • The price on the pricing page is exactly what you’ll be charged.

    Not always. US providers list prices before sales tax, and whether tax is added at checkout — and how much — depends on your state. On one VPN order page we saw a 6.25% sales tax added on top of the listed monthly price.

This list isn’t an accusation against the service. If you find something on our page that doesn’t match the official source, write to us.

Final verdict

Midjourney Standard is the best fit for regular image work thanks to unlimited Relax Mode. Choose Pro for video and Stealth Mode or if your company is over $1M in revenue; go yearly once you’re sure.

Choose it if

You generate images regularly.

Think twice if

You need privacy on a budget — Stealth is Pro+.

Skip it if

You only need occasional images from a general assistant.

ChatGPT and Google AI include image generation within general assistants.

FAQ

Standard, Pro and Mega include unlimited image generations in Relax Mode.

No, all Midjourney plans are paid subscriptions.

It keeps your images and videos private; it’s only on Pro and Mega.

Yes, under the general commercial terms; companies with more than $1M yearly gross revenue must use Pro or Mega.

20%, with the full year paid up front.

You can buy extra GPU time; on Standard and above you can keep generating images in Relax Mode.

Start by checking who charges you — that decides where you cancel. If you signed up in an app, the payment usually goes through your Google or Apple account, outside the service’s own website. Check your subscriptions in Google Play, and on iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions, signed in to the account you paid with. If you can’t find it, Apple suggests searching your email for “receipt from Apple” or “invoice from Apple”: the receipt shows which account paid. If there’s no receipt at all, you probably bought it on the service’s website or in a bundle from your wireless carrier, internet or TV provider — your bank or card statement shows which company bills you.

On a computer, open your subscriptions in Google Play, click Manage next to the one you want to cancel, then Cancel subscription, pick a reason and confirm with Continue. Some apps on Google Play also let you pause a subscription instead of canceling — that’s not the same thing as canceling.

On iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → choose the subscription → Cancel Subscription; you may need to scroll down to see the button. If there’s no Cancel button, or you see an expiration message in red text, the subscription is already canceled. For a free trial, Apple asks you to cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.

No. Google says it in a separate warning: when you uninstall an app, your subscription won’t cancel. Payments continue until you cancel in the account where you bought the subscription. It’s an easy trap: the app disappears from your phone, but the bill stays.

Then you cancel with that provider. Apple says it plainly: if you got the subscription through your wireless carrier or another provider, contact them. In the US this is common for streaming — services are often bundled with phone, internet or TV plans. If your plan has a minimum term or the subscription is part of a bundle discount, check the terms before you cancel.

No. Apple is clear about it: you can’t cancel a family member’s subscription. If the receipt shows a family member’s Apple Account, ask them to cancel it themselves. If it shows another account you use yourself, sign in to that one and cancel there.

Not as a general rule. Unlike the European Union, the US has no general 14-day right to withdraw from online purchases. Rules on automatic renewal and how easy canceling must be are set mostly by individual states and differ between them. In practice, check the provider’s own terms: some offer a money-back guarantee (common for VPNs and antivirus software), others don’t refund at all.

Usually not. Access typically lasts until the end of the period you’ve already paid for, and only then does the subscription expire. It works the other way too: canceling right after a payment usually doesn’t refund that period — it only stops the next charge.

Don’t rely on the confirmation pop-up — check the list. On iPhone, open Settings → your name → Subscriptions: if there’s no Cancel button anymore, or there’s an expiration message in red text, the subscription is canceled. In Google Play, a canceled subscription can be restarted with Resubscribe, so you can see the difference there too. If the subscription isn’t on either list, you bought it somewhere else, and that’s where you have to cancel it.

Sometimes, but it’s not guaranteed, and it’s not always the service whose logo you see that decides. Google says most apps on the Play Store are made by third-party developers, who can process refunds under their own policies and applicable laws; according to Google, contacting the developer directly is often the quickest way. If you paid on the service’s website, send the request there. For a charge that neither you nor anyone you know made, Google asks you to report it within 120 days of the transaction.

No — they’re two separate things that are easy to mix up. Deleting the account erases the data but doesn’t stop payments if you bought the subscription in an app store: there the subscription lives independently of the account. So the right order is the reverse — first cancel the subscription where you pay, check that it has really ended, and only then delete the account.

Usually only access to the content ends, while the account remains: history, settings and saved items stay, so you don’t start from zero if you come back. No law requires that, though — it’s the service’s own decision, so the data may be deleted after some time. If something matters to you, export it before the subscription ends.

Often yes, but in the US it depends on where you live. There’s no single federal law for this; several states give their residents the right to know what data a company holds, to get a copy and to have it deleted, and some providers offer the same tools to all users. Send the request to the provider itself — its privacy policy explains how. We don’t promise on the provider’s behalf that a request will be handled quickly or well.

On your card or bank statement. The amount there can differ from the price on the website for two common reasons: a promo price has ended, or sales tax was added at checkout. US providers list prices before sales tax, and whether it’s added — and how much — depends on your state. That’s why the same subscription can show up on your statement as a slightly higher amount than the price you saw on the pricing page.

How we work

This page is a comparison, and for every claim we say where it comes from.

The provider’s sources

The facts come from docs.midjourney.com (Comparing Midjourney Plans).

We don’t write prices into the text

Prices are in the price block, in the price list’s currency, with a source and a date.

Product facts are shared, market facts aren’t

How many screens a plan allows, how many devices an account works on, how many servers a network has — that doesn’t depend on the country, and on our pages those numbers are the same in every language; a separate tool watches over that. Price, promotions, availability and app language belong to the market, and we never carry them over from another country.

The provider’s list is the same for everyone

If a service publishes a list of countries or languages, we can say whether the US is on it — that list looks the same for everyone. Checkout, however, can look different for every account, so for amounts a provider shows only at checkout we write: check before you pay.

A shorter section doesn’t mean something is missing from the product

If a section here is shorter than for another service, it’s because the provider publishes less about it. We don’t fill the gap with generic wording just to make the page look more complete.

Three different answers

We distinguish between “none”, “the provider doesn’t say” and “we didn’t find it”. They’re three different situations — mixing them up would turn our own limitation into a flaw in the product.

A price without a source isn’t shown

If an amount has no source and date, we don’t show it. An empty spot is more honest than a number that only looks right — and prices change more often than articles get updated.

Data from the US market

This page isn’t a translation of another language version. Numbers from other countries don’t end up here: markets differ, and that’s exactly why this page exists.

Affiliate links are labeled at the link

If a link is an affiliate link, we say so right next to it. The commission doesn’t affect what we write — and you know about it before you click.

We fix errors openly

If we got something wrong, we fix it and note what changed. A silent correction would mean you never find out you once relied on wrong information.

How we check the data

If anything on this page has gone out of date, write to us — we’ll fix it and note the date.

The order in the comparison is decided by the type of service; commission size doesn’t affect it.

Some links to providers are affiliate links: if you subscribe through them, we may earn a commission. It affects neither the price nor the placement in the comparison. Affiliate links are always labeled next to the link itself.
