  • Basic Plan: $8/month
  • Standard Plan: $24/month
  • Pro Plan: $48/month

Buying more fast hours: If you run out of Fast GPU time before your monthly subscription renews, you can purchase additional Fast GPU hours at $4/hr. To do so, visit your Midjourney account page. Note that the purchased Fast GPU hours do not expire, but you must have an active subscription to use them.

Refunds: Refunds are available for subscribers who have used less than 1% of their monthly GPU minutes, including time used in Relax Mode. If you are eligible for a refund, a dialog box will automatically appear when you click to cancel your account.

Cancellations: You can cancel your subscription at any time by visiting https://www.midjourney.com/account/. Cancellations are effective at the end of the current billing cycle, and subscription benefits, such as access to the community gallery, remain available until the end of the current billing cycle. Generated images are not deleted when a user cancels their subscription, and you can resubscribe to a plan at any time by visiting the account page.

Switching plans: You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. When upgrading, you may choose whether the upgrade should be effective immediately or at the end of the current billing cycle. If you choose to upgrade immediately, you will be offered a prorated price based on the usage of the plan you are upgrading from. Downgrades are always effective at the end of the current billing cycle. Unused Fast GPU Time is credited to your account when you choose to upgrade immediately.

Monthly Renewals: Unused monthly Fast GPU time does not roll over, and Fast mode is automatically reactivated when the subscription renews. To manage your subscription plan, visit https://www.midjourney.com/account/.

Do I need to pay for Midjourney?

To use Midjourney, you will need to pay for a subscription plan after you have used up the free trial, which offers 25 image generations. Midjourney offers three subscription plans: Basic, Standard, and Corporate. The Basic plan costs $10 per month, the Standard plan costs $30 per month, and the Corporate plan costs $60 per month. You can save 20% by subscribing to an annual plan, with the Basic plan costing $8 per month, the Standard plan costing $24 per month, and the Corporate plan costing $48 per month.

How to get unlimited access to Midjourney?

To get unlimited access to Midjourney, you can subscribe to the Standard plan, which offers unlimited relaxed GPU hours for image generation. However, there is no legitimate method to unlock an unlimited number of free Midjourney generations. Some users have reported creating multiple Discord accounts with temporary emails and SMS numbers to bypass the free trial limit, but this is against Midjourney’s terms and conditions. Midjourney also offers one free fast hour each day to the top 1,000 users who rate the quality of generated images. It is recommended to use a paid plan for continuous and legitimate access to Midjourney’s features.
