What it is
Subscription image generator running V8.2 as the default model since 24 July 2026, with V8.1 and Niji 7 still selectable via
--v. Runs on web and Discord. Plans buy fast GPU-hours; Standard and above add unlimited relaxed generation.Why it earns a slot
Still the default for painterly, art-directed stills that look composed rather than rendered. Personalization profiles learn your taste over time, which no rival matches. Style and character reference codes keep one look consistent across a whole campaign.
Know before you commit
No official public API - every 'Midjourney API' is an unofficial reseller that can break or get your account banned. Generations are public by default; stealth mode requires Pro ($60) or Mega ($120). Companies over $1M annual revenue must sit on Pro or Mega.
Getting started
No official API. Third-party wrappers only, at your own risk.
