Midjourney subscription plans - explained! / Choose a plan for Midjourney Basic vs Standard vs Pro
TLDRKade explains the subscription plans for Midjourney, a platform that offers limited free images before requiring a paid subscription. There are three plans: Basic, Standard, and Pro, each offering different amounts of GPU time for image generation. The Basic plan provides 3.3 hours of fast GPU time per month, suitable for users needing a few images, like for a business logo. The Standard and Pro plans offer unlimited prompts and images per month, with the Pro plan including a stealth mode to keep images private on the Midjourney website. Users can switch between fast and relaxed GPU modes depending on their needs, with relaxed mode featuring a queue system and potentially longer wait times. The video emphasizes understanding one's needs for image generation to choose the right plan.

Q & A
What is the primary reason for explaining the Midjourney subscription plans?
-The primary reason is to help users understand the different plans available and to guide them in choosing the right plan since Midjourney offers only 25 free images before requiring a subscription purchase.
How much does the Basic plan cost if you subscribe for a year?
-The Basic plan costs eight dollars per month if you subscribe for a year.
What is the main difference between the Basic, Standard, and Pro plans?
-The main difference between the plans is the amount of fast GPU time and relaxed GPU time offered per month.
What does the term 'General conversion terms' mean in the context of usage rights?
-With the Basic, Standard, or Pro Plan, users have General conversion terms, which allows for commercial use of the images generated by Midjourney.
What is the limitation of using the free trial for Midjourney?
-The limitation of the free trial is that it is non-commercial, meaning users cannot use the generated art for business or anything that generates income.
What does GPU stand for and what is its role in Midjourney?
-GPU stands for Graphics Processing Units. These units process each prompt and generate images. Purchasing a subscription to Midjourney is essentially buying time on these GPUs.
How many images can approximately be generated with the Basic plan's 3.3 hours of fast GPU time?
-With the Basic plan's 3.3 hours of fast GPU time, approximately 200 images can be generated.
What is the advantage of having relaxed GPU time in the Standard and Pro plans?
-With relaxed GPU time, users can still generate images even after they have used up their fast GPU time. Their requests are queued and processed as GPUs become available, allowing for unlimited prompts per month.
What is the purpose of the stealth mode in the Pro Plan?
-The stealth mode in the Pro Plan prevents the user's images from being visible to others on the Midjourney website, offering a level of privacy.
What is the approximate waiting time for an image to be generated in relax mode?
-In relax mode, it can take up to 10 minutes for an image to be generated.
How can users change between fast mode and relax mode when using Midjourney?
-Users can change between fast mode and relax mode by using the 'fast' or 'relaxed' comments when submitting their prompts.
What is the best plan for someone who only needs to generate a few images for a business logo?
-The Basic plan would be suitable for someone who only needs to generate a few variations of a logo for their business.

📈 Understanding Majority Subscription Plans
Kade introduces the Majority platform, emphasizing its fun aspect and the limitation of 25 free images before requiring a subscription. He outlines three subscription plans: Basic, Standard, and Pro, highlighting the differences in cost and GPU time allocation. The Basic plan offers 3.3 hours of fast GPU time per month, suitable for limited use like creating a business logo. The Standard and Pro plans provide unlimited prompts and images per month with relaxed GPU time, allowing users to generate as many images as needed. Kade also explains usage rights, emphasizing that the free trial is for non-commercial use only, and that for business purposes, a paid plan is necessary. He concludes by advising users to consider their needs before choosing a plan.
🕒 Relaxed vs. Fast GPU Time and Plan Features
This paragraph delves into the specifics of GPU time and its operational modes within Majority. The fast mode offers immediate GPU processing with the highest priority, suitable for generating about 200 images, after which users must wait for the next monthly allocation. In contrast, the relaxed mode places user requests in a queue, allowing image generation as GPUs become free, which may involve waiting but ensures image creation. Kade mentions that the relaxed mode can take up to 10 minutes per job and that wait times can be shorter for occasional users. He also explains the ability to switch between fast and relaxed modes and introduces the Pro Plan's stealth mode, which keeps images private on the Majority website. Kade advises generating images in direct messages or on a private server for complete privacy. The paragraph concludes with a reminder to like and subscribe for more information.
