The short version

  • Only Luma AI has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Luma AI pricing is credit-based, making exact per-video cost hard to predict without testing generation costs.; Muvi One included bandwidth is 100GB per month on the entry plan, which a service with a genuine audience exceeds almost immediately, so the published $399 rate is a floor rather than a forecast and the consumption charge is where the real cost lives.
  • They diverge on capability: Luma AI covers Ray video generation, Muvi One covers White-label apps.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Luma AI

  • Pricing is credit-based, making exact per-video cost hard to predict without testing generation costs.
  • Team and Enterprise pricing is not published and requires contacting sales.
  • Video length and resolution limits per plan are not detailed on the public pricing page.

Muvi One

  • Included bandwidth is 100GB per month on the entry plan, which a service with a genuine audience exceeds almost immediately, so the published $399 rate is a floor rather than a forecast and the consumption charge is where the real cost lives.
  • Overage rates are not published alongside the plans, so a buyer can compare licence tiers but cannot model total cost of ownership without asking sales, which defeats much of the benefit of published pricing.
  • Storage and bandwidth are quoted as the same allowance figure, which is misleading in practice: a modest library plus modest viewing will exhaust bandwidth long before storage, and buyers who read the tier as one number budget wrongly.
  • The bundled approach means the CDN, player, DRM and billing are all Muvi's choices, so a customer with a preferred CDN contract or an existing billing system cannot substitute components and pays for capability they already own.
  • Pricing is in US dollars regardless of where the service operates, so a streaming business earning in a weakening local currency carries exchange-rate risk on its largest fixed cost, which is precisely the market segment the product targets.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Published tiers on annual billing are $399, $1,499 and $3,900 a month, with a custom tier from around $10,000. Monthly billing costs roughly 15 percent more.

Luma AI: How is usage metered?

Generation consumes credits: video costs 4-959 credits per second depending on model and resolution, images cost 1-255 credits each, and audio costs 21-98 credits per minute.

Source
Muvi One: What happens when I exceed the bandwidth allowance?

You pay consumption charges. The rates are not published on the pricing page, so ask for them in writing before signing, because for any service with real viewership they will exceed the licence fee.

Luma AI: Can I save money with annual billing?

Yes, subscribing yearly instead of monthly saves up to 20% across all individual Plus, Pro, and Ultra tiers.

Source
Muvi One: Is 100GB of bandwidth enough?

For a private or pilot service, yes. For a public service, no. At ordinary HD bitrates that is a few hundred viewer-hours a month.

Luma AI: What do Team and Enterprise plans add?

Team adds shared credits, team management, and SSO, while Enterprise adds custom commitments, dedicated training, and fine-tuning; both require contacting sales for pricing.

Source
Muvi One: Can I use my own CDN or billing provider?

The platform is sold as an integrated stack. Substituting components is not the design, which is the trade-off against assembling your own from a player, a CDN and a billing vendor.

Luma AI: Does a paid plan allow commercial use?

Yes, the Plus plan and above include commercial usage rights along with guest collaboration access for generated content.
