FLUX.1 [dev] (non-commercial, weights-available): https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev (Mindtown has a commercial license so all the images generated through it can be used for whatever purpose)
I am a paid user of MidJourney so I had to test this. The image quality is similar. It seems to understand prompts a bit better than MidJourney, but just a bit better.
I am used to MidJourney already, so I wouldn't change to this service unless the prices a significant better.
Flux is better than Midjourney by a lot of qualitative metrics.
While Flux isn't entirely open source due to the license (on some of their weights), it's a lot better ecosystem to build upon than fully closed Midjourney.
You're going to see AnimateDiff and Comfy and other things adapt to Flux, but you'll never see that for Midjourney.
I'd pick Flux just to enable more tooling and community use cases.
