Pros and cons
Imgraft
- Genuinely free Standard tier at 1K with no credit card required, letting new users test output quality before committing.
- Transparent credit cost table shown before generation: HD 1K costs 1 credit, 2K costs 2, 4K costs 3, with failed jobs returning reserved credits.
- Permanent one-time credit packs (100 for $9.99 up to 2,400 for $149.99) give irregular users a pay-as-you-go option without a recurring subscription.
- Subscription credits expire at the end of each billing period, so a Starter subscriber who skips a month loses unused credits from their $9.90 payment with no rollover.
- No API, no team workspace, and no integrations documented anywhere on the site, which rules out any developer or multi-seat use case entirely.
- Built on undisclosed third-party AI models rather than a proprietary model, meaning output quality and model availability depend on upstream providers Imgraft does not control.
Midjourney
- Stylized, high-quality image and SD/HD video output using V8.1 model.
- Flexible GPU-hour billing with fallback Relax mode in mid-tiers.
- Stealth mode in Pro and Mega keeps client work private.
- No API or enterprise features like SSO or seat pooling, teams must manage individually.
- GPU-hour model can be confusing; fast hours don’t roll over and extras cost $4/hour.
- Basic tier lacks Relax fallback, so you hit limits quickly if you iterate a lot.
Our verdict
Imgraft verdict
Imgraft is the right pick for a solo creator who wants to experiment with image-to-image restyling without handing over a credit card first. Its credit math is transparent and the free Standard tier is genuinely usable, but monthly credits expire each billing period, which punishes light users who miss a month. If you need text-to-image generation, video, or an API, look at Leonardo.Ai instead.

Midjourney suits individual creators, designers, and agencies who want richly stylized visuals and flexible GPU-hour billing. It lacks API access and centralized team management, so studios needing those should consider Leonardo.Ai or GPT Image 2. Skip it if you need enterprise features like SSO or seat pooling.
