Midjourney plans start at $10/mo, but keeping your images private requires $60/mo.

By KevinEvery price checked on docs.midjourney.com on 14 November 2026

Midjourney plans start at $10 a month for Basic (3.3 fast hours), $30 a month for Standard (15 fast hours), $60 a month for Pro (30 fast hours), and $120 a month for Mega (60 fast hours) checked on 14 November 2026. However, Basic and Standard publish all generations to Midjourney's searchable public gallery; keeping commercial assets private requires paying $60 a month for Pro Stealth Mode. For $15.99 a month, Zemith Plus includes private generation by default across Flux 2, Flux 3, Nano Banana, plus video models and multi-model chat.

Our verdict: Midjourney's $60 privacy requirement makes it overpriced for professional creators.

  • Midjourney Basic ($10/mo) and Standard ($30/mo) expose all your images to a public gallery, forcing serious creators onto the $60/mo Pro plan.
  • Midjourney now generates video as well as images, but it has no AI chat, so you still pay roughly another $20/mo for a chat assistant.
  • Zemith Plus is $15.99/month ($179.88/year) with 100% private generation, Creative Studio (Flux 2, Flux 3, Nano Banana, Veo 3.1, Kling), and multi-model chat.
  • Stay on Midjourney if its look is the point: Zemith has no Midjourney model, and Basic at $8 a month billed yearly is cheaper than any all-in plan if images are your only AI spend and you make a few dozen a month.

Frequently asked questions about Midjourney pricing.

How much does Midjourney cost per month in 2026?

Midjourney offers four subscription plans: Basic at $10/month (~3.3 fast hours), Standard at $30/month (15 fast hours + unlimited relax mode), Pro at $60/month (30 fast hours + Stealth Mode), and Mega at $120/month (60 fast hours + Stealth Mode).

Why do you have to pay $60/month for Midjourney privacy?

Midjourney treats prompt and image discovery as a community asset by default. Stealth Mode, the ability to hide your creations from the community feed and search gallery, is exclusively locked to the Pro ($60/mo) and Mega ($120/mo) tiers.

Why is Zemith Plus a better value than Midjourney Standard?

Zemith Plus costs $15.99/month ($14.99/mo billed yearly), saves you $14/month over Midjourney Standard ($30/mo), guarantees total privacy by default, and includes image models such as Flux 2, Flux 3, Nano Banana and Qwen Image 2, video models such as Veo 3.1, Kling 4.0 and Seedance 2.5, and full multi-model chat (GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok).

Is Midjourney worth it in 2026?

Yes, if you want Midjourney's painterly, art-directed look and make images every week. Basic at $10 a month has only 3.3 fast hours and no Relax mode, so most regular users end up on Standard at $30. It is not worth it if you mainly need accurate product shots, readable text in images or edits to a photo you already have, or if you make only a few dozen images a month. Zemith has no Midjourney model, so the look is different.

How many images does Zemith Plus make for $15.99 a month?

Plus includes 1.5M credits a month, shared with chat and video. At Creative Studio's current per-image prices that is about 217 Flux 2 Pro images (6,900 credits each), about 118 Nano Banana 2 images (from 12,700) or about 59 Nano Banana Pro images (from 25,300). Nano Banana prices rise slightly with extra reference images, and Creative Studio shows the exact quote before you generate.
