What it does
AI image (and video) generation from text prompts, used via midjourney.com or Discord; known for high-quality artistic and photorealistic output.
Strong fit
Marketing visuals, concept art, mood boards, and stylized imagery where quality matters and you're willing to learn prompting and the GPU-hour model.
Poor fit
Not for free/casual use (no web free tier), precise text-in-image or exact brand layouts, or teams needing built-in design/editing workflows like Canva.
Limitations
No free web tier; images are public by default unless on Pro/Mega Stealth; usage metered in fast GPU hours; companies over $1M revenue need Pro/Mega for commercial use.
