I want to create AI-generated images for my blog. Which tool should I choose? Looking for pros and cons of each platform.

Quick framework for choosing:
- Midjourney = best quality, artistic style, subscription needed
- DALL-E = ChatGPT integration, safest for commercial, easiest to use
- Stable Diffusion = free, local, most customizable but needs GPU
For a startup MVP:
If you need images fast → DALL-E (API is solid)
If you need artistic/unique → Midjourney ( Discord workflow is worth it)
If budget is tight → Stable Diffusion (run locally or use free tiers)
We use DALL-E for our product images because consistency matters. Midjourney for marketing creatives.
ROI: the time you save > the subscription cost.
