You can buy credits to generate images using DreamStudio. In theory, this seems more convenient than running software locally. But last I checked, their image quality wasn’t all that interesting compared to MidJourney, so I stopped using it.
The Discord-based UI for MidJourney is clunky and unreliable, and waiting for images to generate is annoying. Image quality has improved quite a bit, but it’s no better at following instructions. So it seems like there’s an opening for a competitor, but the competition would need to actually be better.
