Stable Diffusion

Open-source image generation model that can be downloaded and self-hosted, or accessed through third-party hosted APIs. Requires real technical setup to match Midjourney's out-of-the-box aesthetic coherence.

Free to self-host (own compute cost); hosted APIs bill per image, typically fractions of a cent at scale
