Questions
Which is cheaper?
Midjourney Basic is $10 and has no free plan. Leonardo Essential is $12 and the free plan lists 150 fast tokens a day. Cheaper depends on whether you need the free allowance.
Can I get paid to link either one?
Not from a program this site could verify as open. Leonardo’s page says the program closed on 7 Apr 2026. Midjourney has none on file.
What if I have ChatGPT?
Make the one-off there first. Move to Midjourney for a look you will repeat.
Were images generated?
No. The prompts are published. The outputs are TODO.
