Leonardo vs Midjourney: design workbench or pure output
Leonardo courts designers and game teams with tooling around the image; Midjourney courts everyone with the image itself. Their prices sit within a couple of dollars, so this decision is really about workflow.

Leonardo is built around the work that happens after the render - presets, canvas editing, upscaling, consistent asset sets for games - starting near $12/month. Midjourney is built around the render itself and largely stops there, from $10/month. TulexAI covers the generation half with five engines and puts chat and voice beside them, from $11/month.
