Adobe Firefly

- Freemium
Editor's take
Makes sense for teams already paying for Creative Cloud, where the value is the licensing and the fit with Photoshop rather than the top-end image quality. Judged on output alone against the specialists, it is a step behind.

Midjourney

- Paid
Editor's take
Still the one to beat on how the picture looks: fewer results need rescuing afterwards, which is why people who care about the visual first tend to stay. The trade is money and control - there is no free tier, and coaxing a specific result takes practice.
