Luma Agents vs Motiofy

Luma Agents

Luma has folded Dream Machine into Luma Agents, a canvas where one agent dispatches work to its own Ray and Uni models and to rivals' models, so you are buying a workflow more than a model. That suits teams producing campaign variations across formats, less so someone who just wants the best text-to-video clip, where credits per second add up fast at 1080p. The API is the cleaner buy for developers: per-generation prices, no subscription.

Pros

• +Own video models (Ray3.2, Ray3.14) and image model (Uni-1) plus third-party models in one workspace
• +Consistency tools for characters and brand assets across variations
• +API with published per-generation prices from $0.15 for a 540p five-second clip and no commitment on the Build plan
• +Audio generation, lip sync, transcription and captions built into the same canvas

Cons

• −No free plan listed on the pricing page, and the cheapest plan is $30 a month
• −Credits expire at the end of each month, and 1080p video costs 80 credits a second
• −The Dream Machine name and the iOS app have disappeared from the site, so older guides no longer match
• −The API's provisioned-throughput minimum is stated inconsistently (4 versus 8 units)

Motiofy

Motiofy gives you more direction than a one-click image-to-video button: plain-English motion prompts, start and end frame pinning, a reference image and a choice of several current video models under one credit balance. Since the last check it added month-to-month billing, which removes the main objection to trying it, though 4K still starts at the $40 Creator tier and credits expire at the end of each period.

Pros

• +Several current video models selectable per job behind one credit balance
• +Start/end frame pinning and reference images make results more predictable
• +20 free trial credits with no card to judge the output
• +Monthly billing now available alongside the discounted yearly plan

Cons

• −720p cap on the $20 Starter tier; 4K needs Creator at $40 a month
• −Credits expire at the end of each billing period and do not roll over
• −Trial credits are non-commercial only
• −No API, no legal entity and no country published
