Pros and cons

Luma Dream Machine

Pros

  • Commercial use is included from the $30 Plus plan
  • Public API with usage-based pricing

Cons

  • No permanent free plan is listed; only free trial credits are mentioned
  • Credit costs are high for premium models; Ray3.2 1080p costs 400 credits per 5 seconds, so Plus covers about 25 such clips
