The short version

  • Each has a real cost: CapCut homepage names a free tier but publishes no price for Pro plans, requiring users to click through to a separate page to find a figure; Ray32 it is not Luma's own product. The model, its capabilities and its future are Luma's, and this site states it has no affiliation with them, so anything that changes upstream changes here without notice.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CapCut

  • Homepage names a free tier but publishes no price for Pro plans, requiring users to click through to a separate page to find a figure
  • AI image and video generation from text prompts are offered as a distinct paid capability layered on top of the base editor rather than described as free

Ray32

  • It is not Luma's own product. The model, its capabilities and its future are Luma's, and this site states it has no affiliation with them, so anything that changes upstream changes here without notice.
  • No operator is disclosed. There is no company name, address or team anywhere on the site, only a support email, which is a poor basis for a commercial relationship involving prepaid money.
  • No free credits. Both comparable wrapper services and Luma itself give you something to try; here the cheapest way to see any output is $9.90.
  • Prepaid credits are money held by a vendor you cannot identify, and nothing on the site describes what happens to an unused balance if it stops operating.
  • Clips are 5 or 10 seconds on generation, so anything longer is an editing job assembled from pieces rather than a single output.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

CapCut: Is CapCut free to use?

CapCut offers free access to its core editing tools through web, desktop, and mobile apps. The vendor's pricing page does not display specific upgrade plans or premium feature costs.

Source
Ray32: Is Ray32 the official Ray 3.2 site?

No. Ray 3.2 is made by Luma AI, and Ray32's own footer states it "is an independent third-party Ray 3.2 AI Video Generator tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially associated with Luma AI, Inc." Luma's own platform is listed separately in this catalogue.

Source
CapCut: Does CapCut charge for removing watermarks?

The vendor's website explicitly states exports are watermark-free, but no information on tiered access or watermark removal costs is published on the CapCut site.

Source
Ray32: What does Ray32 cost?

One-off credit packs: $9.90 for 160 credits, $29.90 for 580, $49.90 for 1,100 and $99.90 for 3,330. There is no subscription and the site states credits never expire.

Source
CapCut: How much does CapCut cost per month?

CapCut does not publish monthly or annual subscription pricing on its website. Users can access core editing, AI tools, and template libraries at no stated cost.

Source
Ray32: How many credits does a video use?

It is priced per second and rises with resolution. Text and image-to-video cost 4 credits a second at 540p, 9 at 720p and 18 at 1080p. Editing is 6, 10 or 19 a second and reframing 3, 5 or 16. So a ten-second 1080p clip is about 180 credits, which is more than the $9.90 pack holds.

Source
Ray32: How long can the videos be?

Five or ten seconds for text and image-to-video. Video editing accepts clips up to 20 seconds and reframing accepts sources up to 12.

Source
Ray32: Can the output be used commercially?

The site lists commercial usage rights on every credit pack. Because the model is Luma's rather than theirs, anyone relying on this for client work should also read Luma's own terms.

Source
Ray32: Is there a free trial?

No free credits are offered. The cheapest way to generate anything is the $9.90 Starter pack.
