Pros and cons

Luma Dream Machine

Pros

  • Luma builds its own Ray video models rather than only reselling others
  • One credit balance covers Ray plus Kling, Veo 3.1, Seedance and image models
  • Ray3.2 offers HDR generation and 16-bit EXR export for compositing workflows
  • 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
  • Pricing pages are inconsistent: the App Store still lists Lite and Unlimited tiers the website no longer shows
  • No Android app

Recraft

Pros

  • Generates editable SVG vectors on every plan, including Free
  • Custom styles and color palettes keep output consistent with a brand
  • Single workspace for generation, vector editing, upscaling, background removal and mockups
  • Gives access to external models such as Flux, GPT Image, Imagen and Nano Banana
  • Paid plans include private images and full commercial rights
  • Apps for iOS and Android, Figma and other plugins, and a public API and MCP server

Cons

  • Free plan images are public and not licensed for commercial use
  • Monthly credits expire each cycle, and costs per image vary by model (for example 2 credits for V4.1 and 10 for V4.1 Pro)
  • Video generation is not available on Free or Basic plans
  • Plan prices depend on credit tier, so cost rises quickly for heavy use
