MidjourneyGet, got worseUS
Private mode add-on replaced by Stealth Mode on the Pro plan only
Midjourney dropped the $20/mo Private add-on for Basic and Standard; hiding images now needs Pro
What changed
- Private images on Basic/Standard
- Was Before: Add-on, $20/month
- After: Not available
- Stealth/Private on Pro
- Was Before: No Pro plan
- After: Included (Stealth Mode)
What this means for you
Basic and Standard subscribers can no longer pay extra to keep their images out of the public gallery. Private creation needs the Pro plan ($60/month) or, later, Mega.
What you can do

Full research notes
Midjourney's billing docs (GitBook), archived Dec 12, 2022, say Basic ($10/month) and Standard ($30/month) 'can add the Private visibility option for $20/month', which hides images from other users in the website gallery. The new docs Subscription Plans page, archived Jan 25, 2023, lists Stealth Mode only for the Pro Plan (not the Free Trial, Basic or Standard). Midjourney's Terms of Service archived Mar 11, 2023 refer to 'the Stealth feature as part of Your "Pro" subscription or through the previously available add-on'. Pro's price was first listed in an archived copy from Feb 19, 2023 ($60/month); see the Pro plan record. Today Stealth Mode is 'only available on the Pro and Mega Plans' (Help Center, live check Sep 26, 2026). No source says what happened to existing add-on subscribers.
