Midjourney pricing: what each plan costs per image
Quick answer
Midjourney has four plans: Basic $10, Standard $30, Pro $60 and Mega $120 a month, or $8, $24, $48 and $96 a month billed yearly. Plans are priced by Fast GPU time, not by image. Basic covers about 200 image jobs a month, and each job makes four images, which works out to about $0.0125 per image on monthly billing.

How much does one Midjourney image cost?
Midjourney publishes two figures that make the math possible: Basic covers "~200 image jobs / month", and "One image job has four images". Its FAQ also says an image prompt "usually consumes about one minute of GPU time".
Worked out (Fast time only, every minute used):
| Plan | Monthly billing | Yearly billing |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | about $0.0125 per image | about $0.010 per image |
| Standard, Pro, Mega | about $0.0083 per image | about $0.0067 per image |
| Extra Fast time | about $0.0167 per image | n/a |
How it's worked out: plan price divided by images. Basic uses Midjourney's own 200 jobs x 4 images. Standard, Pro and Mega use Fast hours x 60 minutes x 4 images, based on "about one minute" per image prompt, so they are approximate. Upscales and other actions can use more time. Relax mode images are not counted, because they don't use Fast time.
What about cost per kept image?
If you keep 1 image in 4, divide your keep rate into the figure above: Basic monthly becomes about $0.05 per kept image ($0.0125 / 0.25). Try your own numbers in the calculator.
Is there a Midjourney API price?
Midjourney's own pricing page lists subscription plans only. No API price is shown there, as checked November 9, 2026. Some third-party platforms list Midjourney generations; those are their own listings and appear in the reseller section.
Midjourney vs GPT Image (DALL·E) on price
OpenAI's API pricing page lists GPT Image models for image generation, billed per token. (DALL·E is not listed by that name on the page as read.) OpenAI's own calculator shows $0.02469 in output cost for one GPT Image 2.6 image at low quality, 1024 x 1024, checked November 9, 2026. Midjourney Basic works out to about $0.0125 per image with the full allowance used. The two are billed in different ways, so compare at your own keep rate. See GPT Image API pricing.
