Our take
Pick Midjourney if art directors, illustrators, and marketers who want Midjourney’s look and will pay for GPU time. Pick Recraft if designers who want vectors and a house style, and will pay for commercial/private gens. Skip Midjourney if teams that need commercially safer stock-style output with a free tier (Leonardo), or motion-first work (Runway). Skip Recraft if people who need a Discord image bot (Midjourney)
