Short answer: Leonardo.ai is generally better for consistent, scalable product shots (templates, inpainting, model tuning and batch-generation/export). Midjourney gives richer, more artistic photoreal renders but needs more prompt-work and manual curation to match consistency. Quick sample prompt: “Studio product shot of [PRODUCT] on seamless white, 50mm, f/8, softbox lighting, true color, high detail, no props, front angle, photoreal.” Tradeoff: use Leonardo for template-driven pipelines; use Midjourney when visual polish > strict reproducibility.
