▸ Decision summary
Midjourney and Recraft both generate AI images, but they're built for different jobs. Midjourney chases painterly, artistic output for concept art and social content, while Recraft focuses on true vector graphics, brand-consistent icon sets, and assets you can actually edit as SVG after generation. This compares their free tiers, output types, and which one fits a given workflow.
Pick Midjourney if you want striking, painterly images for art and social content and don't mind paying from day one; pick Recraft if you need editable vector logos, icons, or brand assets, or want to try it for free first.
