Midjourney’s free trial previously offered 25 image generations, effectively giving users 100 images due to the 4-image grid format for each job. However, this trial is currently on hold. The trial provided full platform access without quality or speed limitations for image generation, although commercial use was not permitted for images generated during the trial. After the trial ends, users need to subscribe to continue creating images​.
