Which AI tool is best for generating realistic human portraits?

Question

Which ai tool is gonna give me the most realistic human portraits without that weird skin texture? I’m stuck between getting a Midjourney sub or trying Flux since everyone is talking about it lately. Budget is super tight like under $20 and I gotta finish this project by Friday for my portfolio... Midjourney seems easier but is it worth the money?

If youre on a tight $20 budget, Midjourney Basic Plan Monthly Subscription is basically your best bet for a Friday deadline. It costs $10 and works right out of the box. Just make sure to use the --style raw parameter or you get that plastic look. Leonardo.ai Apprentice Plan Monthly is another solid option at $12 if you want more control over skin texture specifically.

Ive been super satisfied with Black Forest Labs Flux.1 dev lately, honestly it handles skin pores way better than older models. If you need it done by Friday, Flux is definitely the move.

Use a low guidance scale around 3.5 to avoid that plastic ai look.

Try Fal.ai Flux Schnell API if you want to save cash, its basically pennies per image. Let me know if you want some specific prompt settings!
