The short version

  • Only Luma AI has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Filmora basic annual subscription is $49.99/year and includes only 1GB of cloud storage and 500 AI conversations a month; Advanced raises it to $59.99/year for 10GB and 1,000 AI credits; Luma AI pricing is credit-based, making exact per-video cost hard to predict without testing generation costs.
