Our take
Pick Midjourney if art directors, illustrators, and marketers who want Midjourney’s look and will pay for GPU time. Pick Topaz Photo if photographers who will pay the live Personal promo (about $19.50/mo for the first 3 months, then $39/mo) while they sharpen a first Texas-style still — not Studio $199.50 first-year unless they need the suite, and not a free forever editor (there isn’t one).
