What to know
Companies earning more than $1 million a year must use Pro or Mega.
Images on Basic and Standard are publicly visible; only Pro and Mega include Stealth mode.
Basic has no Relax mode, so you buy more time once its Fast hours run out.
Our take
Midjourney still produces some of the most striking images of any tool, and V8.1 fixed long-standing text and prompt issues. Standard is the sweet spot because unlimited Relax generations remove the meter.
