Midjourney prices at a glance
Midjourney costs $10–$120 per month, depending on the plan. Its official plan comparison lists four tiers, with lower effective monthly prices for annual subscriptions paid upfront. The prices below are listed in USD. (Midjourney plan comparison)
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing (paid upfront) | Fast GPU time per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $10/month | $96/year ($8/month equivalent) | 3.3 hours (200 minutes) |
| Standard | $30/month | $288/year ($24/month equivalent) | 15 hours |
| Pro | $60/month | $576/year ($48/month equivalent) | 30 hours |
| Mega | $120/month | $1,152/year ($96/month equivalent) | 60 hours |
The annual option is a 20% discount, but you pay for the full year upfront. Midjourney subscriptions automatically renew monthly or yearly unless you cancel. (plan comparison; turning off automatic renewals)
Which plan may fit your budget?
- Basic — $10/month: The lowest-cost option, with 200 minutes of Fast GPU time. It does not include unlimited Relax-mode image generation.
- Standard — $30/month: A practical fit if you make images regularly and can wait for queued generation. It includes unlimited Relax-mode images, as do Pro and Mega.
- Pro — $60/month: Consider it if you need Stealth Mode or unlimited Relax-mode SD video generation. Stealth Mode hides creations from other users on Midjourney’s website, but it does not hide generations made in shared Discord channels from people in those channels. For privacy, generate on Midjourney’s Create page, in a Discord direct message, or in a private Discord server while Stealth Mode is enabled. Stealth Mode is also included with Mega.

- Mega — $120/month: The highest-volume tier, with 60 Fast GPU hours per month. It may suit you if Pro’s allocation is not enough.

What can change the actual cost?
Midjourney sells GPU time, not a guaranteed number of images. Its documentation estimates that one image prompt usually takes about a minute of GPU time, though use varies by task. Fast time refreshes monthly and unused time does not roll over. That monthly refresh also applies to yearly plans: plan hours refresh monthly on the same day of the month as the subscription date. (GPU speed and usage; finding your renewal time; Fast-time expiration)
If you run out of Fast time, Midjourney’s plan comparison lists additional GPU time at $4 per hour. For video, Midjourney estimates 8 GPU minutes for a batch of four SD videos and 26 minutes for a batch of four HD videos. These are usage estimates, not separate dollar prices. (plan comparison; GPU speed and usage)
Example: If you choose Standard and pay monthly, the subscription costs $30 each month. If you choose annual billing instead, you pay $288 upfront for the year—$24 per month when averaged across 12 months. The plan’s Fast-time allowance still refreshes monthly; unused time does not accumulate across those months. (Midjourney plan comparison; Fast-time expiration)
Does a Midjourney subscription include production API access?
Do not treat these subscription prices as API rates or assume they include API access. Midjourney published an announcement in July 2025 saying it was beginning to investigate an Enterprise API. The official pricing and help material cited here does not specify a production API endpoint, usage price, or terms. That does not establish that no private or later API arrangement exists; it means the public information cited here is not enough to budget one. Ask Midjourney for the applicable access and pricing before planning a production integration. (Enterprise API survey)
A third-party API provider, if you choose one, is a separate product decision: confirm its model, production-use terms, billing unit, limits, and total charges independently. A Midjourney subscription price alone cannot answer those questions.
Prices and plan details above reflect Midjourney’s official plan-comparison documentation reviewed November 9, 2026. Midjourney notes that plan availability and features may change. (Midjourney plan comparison)
