Creative cost review
Midjourney Pricing: Plans, GPU Time & Value. See plans, limits and real cost per accepted outcome, including wasted capacity, retries and human review.
Bottom line
Basic suits evaluation, Standard is the high-volume image baseline, and Pro or Mega should follow measured need for more Fast time, privacy or video capacity.
Product guidance
Published basis: Use Basic's 3.3 monthly Fast GPU hours to complete one representative campaign set.
Cost or limit: Track Fast time, accepted images, revisions and whether Relax Mode or privacy is required.
Best fit: Choose Basic for evaluation or light production that fits 3.3 Fast hours.
Published basis: Test Standard with 15 Fast GPU hours and unlimited image generations in Relax Mode.
Cost or limit: Track Fast versus Relax usage, queue tolerance and accepted assets.
Best fit: Choose Standard when Relax Mode removes the need to buy more Fast time.
Published basis: Test Pro with 30 Fast GPU hours, Stealth Mode and unlimited image and video generations in Relax Mode.
Cost or limit: Record privacy requirements, video use, concurrent jobs and accepted assets.
Best fit: Choose Pro when privacy or recurring Relax video generation is genuinely required.
Published basis: Stress-test Mega with 60 Fast GPU hours and the highest concurrency before committing.
Cost or limit: Track utilisation, queue pressure, accepted output and unused Fast time.
Best fit: Choose Mega only when Pro's measured capacity is insufficient.
