Set up Midjourney for day-zero work — seats or credits, one core loop, required connectors, and non-admin proof — before optional add-ons.
Set up Midjourney in this order: qualify seats for the people who will actually open it, name one AI/ops owner, configure one paid plan (no free), one Discord or web workflow, and a style you will actually reuse, connect the SSO/workspace/files you depend on, then have a non-admin run a designer produces a usable still a marketer can download without an admin. Confirm data privacy controls (Basic+) is on the package you will actually buy. You’re done when that walkthrough works — not when every optional add-on is switched on.

Researched plans: Basic, Standard (annual), Pro, Mega. Never invent list prices here — confirm seats, credits, and quote terms on /pricing/midjourney/. Worked example: Harbor Brand (campaign stills) lists everyone who must log in weekly before they invite “the whole company.”
Configure one paid plan (no free), one Discord or web workflow, and a style you will actually reuse. Research-supported surfaces include image generation, ad creative generation, projects, GPTs, and memory, and video generation. Worked example: Harbor Brand (campaign stills) refuses optional modules until a designer produces a usable still a marketer can download without an admin.
Our snapshot records no trial length for Midjourney — ask for an evaluation window in writing before you commit seats. Success: a designer produces a usable still a marketer can download without an admin. Worked example: Harbor Brand (campaign stills) records a 10-minute loom of the walkthrough for stakeholders who skip hands-on time.
Bring these questions to every demo
Ask vendors to show the workflow live, not just describe it.

Prefer OAuth paths IT can audit.
API / webhook
Name an owner when the sync breaks.
Manual export
Accept only for low-volume, low-risk data.
Research lists API access for Midjourney. Confirm which are native vs API before go-live.
Worked example: Creative teams that want distinctive stills connects the one integration that prevents double entry before inviting the full team.
Train the people who must open Midjourney every week. Cover: login, the core loop (image generation, ad creative generation, and projects, GPTs, and memory), and where to log blockers.
Worked example: Creative teams that want distinctive stills runs a 30-minute working session on live data and includes one sceptic who will actually use the tool.
Document plan tier, admin owner, integrations live, and the non-admin proof (image generation, ad creative generation, and projects, GPTs, and memory). Link to /pricing/midjourney/ for commercial detail.
