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.

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.

[@FutureTechPilot]

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

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

[@FutureTechPilot]

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!

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...

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yeah rating images is a great way to get fast hours!

[@pubgiant24]

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?

[@FutureTechPilot]

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.

[@pubgiant24]

💯 thanks man

[@Fresh.Curiosity]

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?

[@FutureTechPilot]

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."

[@1dealsnbuys]

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

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

How slow does relaxed mode get by month's end?

[@FutureTechPilot]

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

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?

[@FutureTechPilot]

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 ...

[@kathitpurohit7446]

[@latteoatmeal7807]

i'm confused, does 'unlimited generations' mean unlimited about of images per month, just slower? am i understanding that correctly? or does it mean only 900pm?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Unlimited at a slower pace! You pay for a certain amount of 'fast hours' per month - and then once you use those hours, you can generate unlimited pictures but you need to wait in line with everyone else using the 'relax' mode
