Midjourney pricing (2026): how many videos does each plan actually give you?
Tired of paying for a video generator, burning the credits in a weekend, and only then finding out what the plan really bought you? Here is Midjourney's math before you subscribe.
Midjourney's Basic plan is $10 a month for 200 GPU minutes. At 2 per 5-second Midjourney Video / Fast clip that is 100 generations — and if you re-roll every other one, roughly 33 videos you would actually keep.

Every Midjourney plan, converted into videos per month
| Plan | Price / month | Allowance | Per clip | Generations | Usable at 3 tries | Cost per usable video |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BasicMidjourney Video / Fast · 5s · 480p (SD) | $10$8/mo yearly | 200 GPU minutes | 2 | 100 | 33 | $0.30 |
| StandardMidjourney Video / Fast · 5s · 480p (SD) | $30$24/mo yearly | 900 GPU minutes | 2 | 450 | 150 | $0.20 |
| ProMidjourney Video / Fast · 5s · 480p (SD) | $60$48/mo yearly | 1,800 GPU minutes | 2 | 900 | 300 | $0.20 |
| MegaMidjourney Video / Fast · 5s · 480p (SD) | $120$96/mo yearly | 3,600 GPU minutes | 2 | 1,800 | 600 | $0.20 |
“Generations” is the monthly allowance divided by the cost of one clip at the settings shown, rounded down. “Usable at 3 tries” assumes you keep one clip in three; change that assumption on the full comparison. Yearly prices are shown per month.
The catch
- Uses Fast GPU minutes, not credits. One 5s SD video costs 2 GPU minutes; a batch of 4 costs 8. HD 720p costs 7 minutes for one output and requires Standard or above. Pro/Mega also include unlimited SD Relax video; Standard+ include Relax images. Source-image creation and extensions excluded.
What a real user found
Official documentation describes possible glitches with high motion. No independent current-model test retained.
Trade-off: SD and HD spend different GPU time. Private Stealth mode requires Pro or Mega.
Try the same image with low and high motion. Use batch size one while developing the prompt.
