		Enterprise Custom Marketplaces and big retailers.
Which plan to pick	Standard is the sweet spot because relax mode means you never run out. Go to Pro if you make images for clients, since Basic and Standard publish everything you make to the public gallery. Yearly billing takes a chunk off every plan.	Pro on yearly billing is cheap and covers most sellers listing up to about 1,000 images a month. Count your monthly exports first, because the jump to Max is steep. Max only earns its price if you need the Shopify sync or video.

Pros and cons

Attribute	Midjourney	Photoroom
Pros	Consistently the most attractive output of any generator Style and character references keep a campaign looking like one set Relax mode on Standard and above means unlimited generations The editor handles extending and fixing parts of an image well	Background removal is among the best available, even on difficult products Batch mode saves hours for anyone listing more than a handful of items AI scenes keep your real product intact instead of redrawing it Works on phone and web, so you can shoot and edit in one place Pro is cheap on yearly billing
Cons	No free plan or trial Text in images and exact layouts are unreliable Your images are public unless you are on Pro or Mega The learning curve is real if you want control rather than luck No API or integrations with other tools	Export caps and credit rules have changed several times, angering long-term subscribers Frequent redesigns have broken or moved batch features sellers depended on Failed AI edits can still use credits, and support is chat-only and slow to resolve issues Free use is personal only, and free trials that roll into paid plans catch people out
