FAQ
Why has Midjourney held on against free open-source alternatives?
Because product, not just model. Midjourney invested in prompt UX, community (Discord), curation, and aesthetic defaults that feel professional out of the box. Open models are more flexible but require tooling most users won't build. The model is the ingredient; the product is the meal.
