I've been using Midjourney [1] (it's not free, 25 photos demo, then 10$ for ~200 photos or 30$ for unlimited I think?). It's fairly fast, ~20s for a grid of 4, then as much for upscaling. I like the controls, it lets you do variations and tweak the image as you go. It's not as good for doing concrete asks, but it's very good for getting specific vibes. The website feed [1] requires Discord login to view examples, but there's some unofficial galleries [2] [0] https://www.midjourney.com/ https://www.midjourney.com/ [1] https://www.midjourney.com/app/feed/all/ https://www.midjourney.com/app/feed/all/ [2] https://www.instagram.com/midjourney.gallery/ https://www.instagram.com/midjourney.gallery/

I immediately subscribed to Midjourney after seeing a couple of online tutorials. Prompts/commands being all open source on the community feed was the killer feature for me.

What's the business with Midjourney demanding Discord details to sign up? Seems off.

  afaik - the API is exposed as a discord bot, that's how they are managing / restricting access

    In a way it makes sense. Discord provides the UI and authentication infrastructure, so the Midjourney devs only have to worry about the actual functionality.

  The whole thing is run through Discord bot, which is unfortunate but I guess it allowed them to get half their infrastructure for free? You interact with the bot through Discord commands and it generates and returns the photos to you.

  It is kind of annoying but lurking and seeing other people's pictures is nearly as enjoyable as making your own. Plus you can use the bot in your dms if you'd like to keep them private.

    wow that's one busy server. Seems to be a high demand service. It's better in some ways than craiyon and worse in others from my sampling (craiyon seems to give me less 'nice' options but better logo-y images)

https://midjourney.gitbook.io/docs/billing#plans https://midjourney.gitbook.io/docs/billing#plans monthly plans: * $10 for ~200 prompts * $30 for ~900 prompts + unlimited "slow" prompts where your job is put at the end of the queue and you have to wait longer (no idea how much longer though.. are we talking about seconds or hours here?)

  It probably depends highly on load / time of day. I agree it would be nice to have concrete stats though about the average and variance. I just got access to Dall-E today, and there it's 115 prompts for 15$, so roughly twice the price.
