Quick verdict

Midjourney Pick Midjourney if image quality and artistic style come first — its aesthetics, style references and personalisation lead this pair, but there is no free tier.

Ideogram Consider Ideogram if your images need legible text in them — posters, logos and branded graphics are its speciality.
