Midjourney free trial: none on the web or Discord, what Basic costs, and what is free instead

November 11, 2026

Midjourney has no free trial on midjourney.com or in Discord; its help center lists only a limited trial in the niji·journey app for iOS and Android. The way in is the Basic plan, $10 a month ($96 billed yearly), with 3.3 hours of fast GPU time a month. If you want to try AI images before paying anyone: Perchance, Craiyon, DeepAI, Hotpot and Bing Image Creator (as a guest) made an image with no account when checked on November 10, 2026. If you want good pictures without a subscription, nixm makes a still for two chat credits after a free sign-in with no card, credits bought once.

Is there a Midjourney free trial?

Not on the website and not in Discord. Midjourney's help center says a limited trial is available on the niji·journey app for iOS and Android, and that no free trial is currently available in Discord or on midjourney.com. Midjourney has offered free trials in the past; today there is no free tier either, and every image on the web or in Discord needs a paid plan. The entry point is the Basic plan, $10 a month. Midjourney's own help center lists no other trial, so treat any other "Midjourney free trial" link with suspicion.

What the Basic plan actually buys

Basic is $10 a month, or $96 a year paid upfront ($8 a month). It buys 3.3 hours (200 minutes) of fast GPU time a month, with extra time at $4 an hour; the unlimited Relax mode for images starts on Standard, at $30. Video is included at SD resolution. Images are public by default: Stealth Mode, which keeps them private, is only on the Pro and Mega plans. Commercial use is allowed on every plan, but a company making more than $1,000,000 a year must be on Pro or Mega. Every plan is a subscription that renews unless you set it to cancel. For someone who uses the fast hours every month it is good value; for someone who wants six pictures for a project, it is a subscription for six pictures.

Free, with no account: what works in November 2026

Checked on November 10, 2026, signed out, same prompt in each: Perchance made several images per prompt, no watermark, ads on the page. Craiyon made one image in about forty seconds, public by default, with a small mark in the corner. DeepAI made one image in under twenty seconds, ads, the better models locked. Hotpot made one image on the free setting, with a sign-in asked only to save. Bing Image Creator made four images as a guest, with a daily guest limit. Canva, Leonardo, Ideogram, Pixlr and Freepik all asked for an account before the first image. None of them is Midjourney; for a mood board or a first look they are enough. The full test is in AI image generator, no sign-up.

Pay per image, no plan

nixm sits between the two: not free, not a subscription. You describe the picture in plain words without an account; making the still takes a free sign-in with no card and costs two chat credits from a pack you buy once, which never expires. Not quite right? Say what to change and make another. The still can then become an 8-second clip for one video credit, with sound generated in the same pass and the still as its first frame. No transcript of what you type is kept, and the signal dissolves seven days after it was made unless you extend it. What you get without an account across the field is in AI art generator, no sign-up.

If you still want Midjourney

Buy one month of Basic, make everything you need in that month, and set the plan to cancel. Midjourney's terms say your ownership of the images you made persists even if you later downgrade or cancel. That is the honest version of a free trial.
