DALL·E 3 and Midjourney are two of the most popular AI art generators available today. Both tools can transform your text prompts into a series of images, no matter how unusual or imaginative your ideas might be. While DALL·E 3 builds on the foundation of its predecessor, DALL·E 2—the model that helped ignite the generative AI revolution—Midjourney stands out with its more advanced features and capabilities.
What is Midjourney and DALL·E 3?
DALL·E 3 and Midjourney were trained on massive datasets containing millions, if not billions, of text-image pairs. This training helps them understand concepts as specific as “dogs,” “deerstalker hats,” or “dark, moody lighting.” Thanks to this extensive training, they can interpret a prompt like “an impressionist oil painting of a Canadian man riding a moose through a forest of maple trees” and turn it into exactly the kind of image you’re envisioning.
As a for-profit company, Midjourney understandably comes with some usage limitations. Even with a paid subscription, your free image generation hours are capped each month. While the $30 and higher plans offer unlimited relaxed mode, it comes with a trade-off—you’ll need to wait several minutes for each task to complete. On top of that, Midjourney doesn’t offer a free tier or trial, so you’ll need to commit to a subscription to get started.
