Can it be used? How to use it? (Access Guide)
Midjourney's learning curve is quite different from conversational AI, and overseas users often ask these questions:
- Access method : Initially generated via Discord commands, now a standalone web version
midjourney.comis available. - Regional availability : Globally accessible with no regional restrictions (unlike conversational AI which is region-dependent), but requires a Discord/web account and available international payment methods.
- Cost : There is no free tier ; subscriptions start at around $10/month (this is its biggest difference from open-source tools).
- Language : English prompts are most effective ; the interface is primarily in English.
In short : Midjourney isn't region-dependent, but it is for your wallet—there's no free tier, it's a monthly subscription. For free/local service, check out Stable Diffusion.
