I love that even though you’re one of the 5% of people who actually have a good deal for the pro plan, you still acknowledge that most beginners are better off with the $10 one. I don’t see a lot of ai enthusiasts that have such an unbiased view like you.
Just trying my best!
Thank you so much for your honesty. It really felt like you were just a colleague trying to explain how it all worked, rather than some salesman. You're great!
I appreciate the feedback!! And I'm glad my style works well for you. Cheers!
The explanation on relax and fast modes is insanely useful! Big thumbs up for this.
Hey thanks for the feedback! I'm glad my explanation worked well for you
Thank you. This really helped me decide to go with the standard plan.
Thank you for this video. The info was simple to process for a person hearing about Midjourney literally for the first time. I have subscribed.
I'm happy to hear that!
Thank you very much for such detailed description!
And thanks a lot for taking the time to comment! Glad I could help
Thank u for taking the time to make this video!
I'm happy to help!
Wow. Great breakdown! Thank you sir!
Glad I could help!
Fantastic! Thank you for the helpful breakdown.
I'm glad I could help!
Thank you for the helpful breakdown.
My pleasure, cheers!
I had been on the Basic Plan for several months. I was already exploring other image generators and was already regularly purchasing DALL-E and RunDiffusion credits; I wanted to keep a hand in all platforms without breaking the bank.
With the quality boost in Midjourney V5, however, Midjourney quickly took center stage in my work, and I started running out of hours a couple of times per month. The cost of top-ups were coming close to, but not over, the Standard Plan, but I decided to try out the Standard nonetheless (monthly ).
With the unlimited relaxed generations I found I was really letting loose with exploring and refining concepts and prompts, No hesitation. It’s easy to switch between fast and slow hours in a prompt, and I often tackle multiple concepts at once, so the wait for relaxed generations - which can be quite fast depending on time of day - is not a problem.
So, the step up to the Standard Plan ended up being a good choice.
Thanks for sharing! I completely agree with alternating between relax and fast hours. I think unlimited relax generations is like the coolest thing ever lol
I have a question no matter the plan the quality of the image and the results don't change right?
@sidewaysdesign how was the basic plan?
This is really really helpful! Thank you
happy to help!
Would be nice to afford $30 plan at some point, but for now I'll have to stick with $10. First time I paid it I couldn't even use all 200 min, there was 50+ left unused. Now I'm finishing second month (not in a row), and I only got close to draining those 200 min couple days from reset because I got an actual client asking a lot of specific illustrations. I'm considerig to switch to Standart only if it feels like it can sustiain itself. That is, if this client really pays promised ~$100 for nearly 100 pics each of which requires a lot of attempts, and by the end we end up using all of it before next month. Especially if that client is not the only one I find over the month. Otherwise... it doesn't seem like it can be something that brings more money than it eats, to be honest. And I really can't afford subscriptins that don't pay for themselves. Don't even have Netflix lol
I hear you! One of the reasons I justified Midjourney to myself is that I thought it could produce a return lol Congrats on working with a client, keep up the good work!
Thanks for this explanation.
Cheers buddy! Thanks for the comment
Thanks that is well explained 🙂
Thanks for this great informational video you just earn a new Subscriber
I appreciate the support!!
A very very helpful video. Thank you from India❤
I'm glad I could help!
Thank you so much!
🤝 cheers buddy
Looking information before subscribing to midjourney, found this video, and subscribed to this channel instead. Good video brother
haha I'm glad I could help you out a little!
This was super helpful
I'm glad to hear that!
Chrystal clear explanation - thanks a lot!
And thanks for the feedback, cheers!
Great video thank for posting ❤🐼❤️
I appreciate the comment! Thank you
@@FutureTechPilot 🐼👍
I haven’t commented in awhile, hope all is well. Great vid as usual
Cheers buddy. I hope things are going well for you too!
Good video. VERY INFORMATIVE!!!
I'm happy to help!
love Midjoiurney and I love your channel! always offering so much value. I do POD. When I make a great image, I want to take that exact image and make it different sizes. How do I do that?
Under the upscale, you'll see a button called 'Custom Zoom' - a prompt box will open and it will let you change the aspect ratio. MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE '--zoom 2' to '--zoom 1'
Now if you change the ratio to something super different, like taking a square and making it 4:1, Midjourney will fill in the canvas and your image may look slightly different. But if you go from a square to like 3:2, it will basically stay the same.
@@FutureTechPilot awesome! I have been trying to find this answer for so long! Thank you so much
We went through the basic plan generations in 4 days, then switched to standard. Actually looks like we won't use all of them. Love that favoriting things not only makes them easy to find again, but also has earned us about 5 free fast hours this week alone...
Yeah rating images is a great way to get fast hours!
the video i was needing
Hope it helped!
Thanks for this video...
🤝
and now i've just run out of hours on the pro plan!! lol so fun getting expensive but
haha I know what you mean ...
Still on the fence, the learning curve is a little time consuming for me. I do want unique images for my projects and so far…. Still not sold on MJ. Thnks for your insight
Cheers pal!
Solid video
💯 thanks man
Hi! Great advices :) I am not sure...is possible to pay just one month in basic to try it to see how it go? I worry if I give card info, They will take the money automaticaly every month...so can i just buy it, pay 1 month, cancel it and enjoy the month without worriying?
I *think* you can. I'm sorry I can't give you a better answer. But yes I think once you buy a month, you receive the hours, and you get them for the month even if you cancel during it. I *think*
good job
🤝
i ran out of fast hours within the first 7 days (15 hour plan) lol had a quick go at the new stable diffusion definitely stepped up to MJ level you tried it yet?
SD is sick for sure, I just haven't bothered to study it very much. Honestly, I feel like there are too many a.is to keep track of lol
@@FutureTechPilot defiantly mid journey is still the best atm , oh yeah i didn't say the fast hours i ran out of was on the standard plan haha! so now I'm on the pro plan
The basic plan is what I have and if you have i ideas, I would highly suggest writing your prompts out in advance because that will save time and waste
Yeah for sure!
I think I’ve burned up all my credits in the first day. Didn’t know about the relaxed setting.
😂 I've been there before
Hi, I have the basic plan, the standard seems too expensive for my use ... I'm also using other A.I. that allow you to experiment without spending any money
What other a.is have you found useful?
@@FutureTechPilot I'm using Leonardo A.I. and I'm happy with it, I like the graphic rendering even if it's not as detailed as Midj, but to understand how to write the prompts and experiment it's just fine. Every day 150 tokens to use for free. I find it great for those who don't do it for a professional purpose
@@leodistefano7424 também estou usando leonard, mas cheguei num ponto que preciso treinar modelos e o leonard so me permite treinar um por mês, agora estou numa dúvida fatal entre midjouney ou leonard, falo da assinatura. PReciso ver se o midjourney permite treinar modelos como no leonard.
@@leodistefano7424 pretty much yeah. I mean, it doesn't sound like a lot but the annual standard plan is 288$ from the get-go. with that, I can upgrade my PC that's gonna last me more than a year and feel the impact in everything moving forward, it's hard to justify said payment like so. Plus, who's to say a new model comes online soon and makes the annual pay irrelevant? DALL-E 2 once required queues and cost, GPT-4 supposedly costs but Bing has it for free, and true, Leonardo has 150 a day, which for their best model, it's around 75 images (each cost 2, *2 if using some modifiers, but overall 75 pics) daily, or over 2200 monthly, which vs 180-200... it's laughable
I accidentally went with 10$ plan thinking I'll get to use for a while but i guess it was still worth it as i tried out a bunch of possibilities, definitely gonna subscribe to the standard right away
haha it's addicting, eh?
@@FutureTechPilot indeed 😂🔥
@@CanisoGaming same here I went to Leonardo ai but it didn’t do what mid journey did. also for the 30 standard what does that mean? I can use mid journey for the all month until my subscription is finished right?
Hi, very useful video . Small doubt All plans images is privacy or not . I am plan to buy $10 per month its plan i genaretad images others people access? Or not which plan privacy images option?
All images are public. But the Pro plan comes with the option to generate in private. It's called 'stealth mode'
A question: I've heard that in relaxed mode, each time we use the service, we're placed one position back in a queue. In other words, each time we use it, it becomes slower, and this queue resets at the end of the month. What's the longest wait time you've experienced for generating an image in relaxed mode? I'll need to generate 2 thousand images in a month; is the standard plan sufficient? Because in the standard mode, 15 hours give around 900 generations, so I would need to generate 1,100 in relaxed mode, is that feasible?
here is what I wrote to your question in another video - "I mean ... it might be 'feasible' but it won't be fun to do. Like, you'll have to wait a long time between generations. Maybe around 10 minutes or more. But I also haven't dipped into Relax mode in a long time, so maybe the wait-times have gotten shorter."
Couldn’t be simpler thank you
Awesome! Glad I could help
Thanks for yuur help. Ive just signed up for basic £10 monthly to see how i get on and see if i need to upgrade.
Trouple is ive already done 15 today, and variations are where it can run out fast
😂 I know exactly what you mean. It can be a little addicting ...
@@FutureTechPilot Little question, do you know if Midjourney can handle "not so human" shapes? For example, humanoid characters? Let's say, Mr. Fantastic/elastic characters, or those with extra arms, 3 eyes, 3 eyes per hand and so, because so far, every time I try to make any AI app I find (Midjourney included while it was free last year), it fails to come up with what I've asked for, instead, making either really deformed stuff, or just a plain normal human, completely ignoring my prompt, even with max prompt weight
@@ballsofsalsa01 It's a good question, I guess I haven't specifcally tried, but I would use something like a lower --s value (--s 30 or --s 40) and maybe an image prompt of the type of picture you're trying to create
@@FutureTechPilot I did, and MJ fkin said it was "restricted/banned/against ToS". The pic wasn't a nude, but apparently curves and cup D breasts make pussy MJ shit their pants. Fr I wish they'd tone down the ridiculous censorship, they be thinking we're all trying to make CP or what? (Like trying with anime girls with neotenic characteristics, gets rejected as an image to image input, prob thinking it's CP)
but I have a big doubt: leonard AI also has a paid plan and my interest in it is that I can train image models in the paid plan, up to 10 per month. In midjourney is this possible?
No you can't train Midjourney. Leonardo is a pretty cool alternative though
@@FutureTechPilot thank you
Hi. I love your videos, pretty sure i have watched them all. Question maybe your guys can help with. I pay for Midjourney Pro Plan, I used up all my fast hours this month. But I can't seem to use relaxed mode. It is saying things like, can't do that on a free account, etc! AAAAGGGHHH! I want my midjourney back...wwwwwaaaaa. Any help? Suggestions? Thanks!
hmm, I really don't know what that's about. I can only suggest asking around in the 'Member Support' channel on Discord! Good luck
thanks.
Cheers!
i also made the mistake of the $10 basic plan. I went to Leonardo ai but it didn’t do what mid journey did. also for the 30 standard what does that mean? I can use mid journey for the all month until my subscription is finished right?
yah the bigger plans give you more fast hours - and you have the whole month to use them before they reset
Which package includes full monetization rights as well as exclusive listing in advertisement rights
I honestly don't know about any advertisement rights but you own all the images you make on any subscription. I'm not a lawyer though lol
Is Midjourney hooked up to the 'CCC' Chinese central computer?
It's a Californian company
hello
it's been 2 times that I pay the standard midjourney subscription and nothing happens I have access to nothing
I have nothing on my account, do you have a solution for me please?
Sorry to hear that, sounds frustrating for sure. I can only suggest asking the 'member support' channel on Discord. Sorry I'm not more help
How slow does relaxed mode get by month's end?
If you used it every day all day, real slow. Like maybe 10-15 minutes.
I recommend using fast hours for 5 days, then relax for 5 days, 5 fast, 5 relax. Do that one more time and you'll be at the end of the month. I find that keeps relax staying pretty fast
Can you upgrade from the standard annual plan to the pro annual ?
I don't see why not ... but don't quote me lol
I thought if want the annual plan you have to pay for the whole year in advance . So not sure how that works? Pay the difference? I hope they’re responsive when emailed
@@mariams6876 Yeah I think you just pay the difference. I'm like 99% sure that's how it works
Can I make avatar from real images in stardard plan?
it's probably not going to work in the way you're looking for, but all plans give you the same abilities (except for more hours + private generation in the highest plan)
Hi, if we went from basic plan yearly billing to standard, do we have to wait until our subscription over, or we pay the remain and get standard plan?
I'm pretty sure it will tell you when you try to do it. I think you will only have to pay the difference between the two tiers. So if the Standard plan is $30, and you were already paying 10, you would only have to pay 20 more. Do you know what I mean? Don't quote me though ...
are those 15 fast hours Per month?
Yep! every 30 days your plan renews
can I sell Midjourney created images on Etsy?
You can do whatever you want with your MJ images. But I'm not a lawyer. So I would read over the Terms of Service if you're getting involved in a business
If I can't own it I'm not paying for it. Which is why I love programs like Procreate. And you get all the updates. It's not A.I. but it's just an example. I'm an 80's baby. There's no way anybody from my generation should be falling for these monthly games. In 5 years how much would you have spent on a premium plan?
I know what you mean. Subscriptions are pretty frustrating. But this tech is also very expensive to run + ever changing. Like, I don't think my GPU could run Midjourney locally anyways, so I would need to rent a server - might as well do it through Midjourney
you just need to put it to use so you can earn a lot more than that subscription. the higher payment plan is actually private, you will own the pictures but you cant own the AI itself.
Midjourney keeps declining my cards for some reason and it’s really pissing me off
Sorry to hear pal, wish I could help!
awesome bro
Thanks pal
none. waiting for a leak.
😂
Same 😂
Tell me if you find one 🤣🤣
Thanks for this. 👍 $10 will give you about enough time for your jaw to drop. That's it.
If privacy is a major benefit, go for the pro account. Otherwise I'm doing very well with the $30, monthly.
Yeah the privacy is the real choice you need to make eh?
After we download can we delete them from the mj gallery cos of no privacy?
@@pruthvisheila If you don't have the private plan, anything you create or upscale is visible to all, regardless of whether you delete it.
The next part I'm not 100% sure about but:
Even if you have the privacy plan, your work will be available to Midjourney of course. It just gets hidden from other users.
Do the fast hours roll oer in standard plan?
No, unfortunately
So in the standard plan you have 200 fats generations and unlimited relaxed generations?
Yeah. Basic plan has no relaxed mode - Standard plan has unlimited relaxed gen
😮😮😮😮
$0??
That's the dream
Why people always want free stuff, but when they offer a service they want money xD.
Bcos they don't accept cards and other payments from some countries.
@@stormk-1130 I think it's bc the income is not the same everywhere, yet the price is. For example, here the minimum monthly wage is around 280$, working 48h a week. I'm sure that's a joke for the US, with untrained jobs giving over 12$/hour
Oh, let me tell ya, the choice is a no-brainer, folks! The basic plan is even too pricey for my taste, can you believe it? So, by the end of the month, I find myself on the hunt for alternatives. But you know what? That's what opens up a whole new world of exploration and discovery, as I search for something that's more wallet-friendly, all while ensuring I still get that sweet quality service. Yeah, it's all about striking that perfect balance. PEACE ☮☮
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts! Please keep me updated if you find a diamond in the rough out there
We are getting charged by mid journey. $120 in the last couple months. Fraudulent shit.
sounds like you had the $60 plan for 2 months?
@@FutureTechPilot yes, under my wife’s debit card. Not anything she signed up for. From what I’ve read. It’s happening to others. Glad I caught it when I did.
idk why they are too Un-Intelligent to add Paypal as a payment option
yah that's a bummer
I discovered Midjourney on September 3rd of ‘22. It was a mindblower even at v3. I had to drop a lot of monthly subs to fit the standard plan in the budget but I have never regretted it for one moment. Since v5.1 I’m creating generative art based on my own paintings and sketches using the describe option. One night I was on such a roll MJ made me take a quiz to prove I was human and not a bot burning up those fast hours. 😂 I’m considering moving to the Pro plan but waiting to see where the cost goes once David and team move closer to v6.
haha I completely understand your story. I thought Version 3 was absolutely amazing!
@@FutureTechPilot it bills you annually so, for the standard plan, you'll be charged 288 bucks immediately and then, until the end of next year? sounds like an awful lot
@@ballsofsalsa01 Yeah it's a lot for sure, but still less than if you were to pay monthly for the next 12 months
@@FutureTechPilot true, I ended up subbing for 1 month standard to test if I actually can achieve what I desire with the software and how many generations I demand monthly. Paying upfront so much and then only using 70% would make the 20% discount meaningless 😅
@@ballsofsalsa01 haha that's a really good point!
