# Midjourney Alternative

> Do you need Discord for Midjourney? No — Midjourney's docs say you can sign in on the web with Google or Discord, and every plan works on both. But there's no free trial, every plan is a subscription, and images are public by default (Stealth mode is Pro and Mega only). The current default model is V8.2 (July 2026). Kenerate is a Midjourney alternative with 25 free credits, one-time credit packs that never expire, and 80+ models — Seedream 5.0 Pro, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, Flux 2 — with a Private switch on every generation.
