From Midjourney’s published terms. Not legal advice.

Does Midjourney have a free trial?

No. Every plan is a paid subscription; a refund is possible only under 20 GPU minutes of lifetime use.

Are Midjourney images private?

Not on Basic or Standard. Stealth Mode, which keeps images off the public gallery, starts on Pro.

Can a business use Midjourney images?

Yes under general commercial terms, but companies earning over $1M a year must subscribe to Pro or Mega.
