MidJourney is a good alternative. Maybe not quite as good as DALL-E, but close enough, without a waitlist and with hobby-friendly prices ($10/month for 200 images/month, or $30 for unlimited)
If you’re technically inclined, I urge you to explore some newer Colabs being shared in this space. They offer vastly more configurable tools, work great for free on Google Colab, are straightforward to run on a local machine.
Meanwhile we should prepare ourselves for a future where the best generative models cost a lot more as these companies slice and dice the (huge) burgeoning market here.

Can you share a few, please? I am already out of credits on Midjourney and I don't even feel like I got the hang of it until I was almost out.

Here are a couple I've used recently:
Majestic diffusion - https://github.com/multimodalart/majesty-diffusion
Centipede diffusion - https://colab.research.google.com/github/Zalring/Centipede_D...
These need to be Kaggle'd already, fuck
Colab is dogshit if you don't pay
Do you have a decent GPU and a Windows box? If so install VOC: https://softology.pro/tutorials/tensorflow/tensorflow.htm

FYI, each text prompt submission uses 1 credit and then renders out 4 images.
You can also try out wombo Dream - their newest version is similar to mid journey, and is unlimited
They have a form for discounted plans if you can't afford it, might be worth a try too
I’ve been creating generative art since 2016 and I’ve been anxiously waiting for my invite. I wont be able to afford to generate the volume of images it takes to get good ones at this price point.
I can afford $20/mo for something like this but I just can’t swing $200 to $300 it realistically takes to get interesting art out of these CLIP-centric models.
Heck, the initial 50 images isn’t even enough to get the hang of how the model behaves.
