How to Start Creative AI Tools
Here we organize the "way to think about" account creation and pricing. The basics: try free → go paid once it pays off. Concrete amounts, plan names, and free-tier caps change frequently, so this article omits numbers—always check each official page for the latest.
How to Start (Entry Point per Tool)
- Midjourney: sign up from the official site/app → generate via command or screen. Mostly paid plans; commercial permissibility varies by plan
- DALL·E (via ChatGPT): just ask ChatGPT to generate an image. Free tier is limited; paid loosens caps
- Stable Diffusion: open source. Your GPU or cloud (Replicate / RunPod, etc.). Commercial use depends on the model's license
- FLUX: trial on fal.ai etc., API too. Licenses differ by edition (Pro / lightweight)—confirm
