The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Uscreen the per-subscriber fee means the bill grows with the audience, so a creator with several thousand members pays far more in subscriber charges than in plan fees, and the published plan price badly understates the real monthly cost.
  • They diverge on capability: Ray32 covers Text-to-video, Uscreen covers Branded apps.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 17 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

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.

Uscreen

  • The per-subscriber fee means the bill grows with the audience, so a creator with several thousand members pays far more in subscriber charges than in plan fees, and the published plan price badly understates the real monthly cost.
  • Video storage is capped in hours, 20 on Starter and 100 above it, which a creator with a large back catalogue exhausts quickly and then pays to extend.
  • Branded apps only appear on the 449 dollar plan and above, so the tier that makes the product distinct from a generic video host is out of reach for a small membership.
  • One-off sales carry a transaction fee of 10 per cent on Starter and 5 per cent on higher plans, on top of payment processing, which materially changes the maths for creators selling courses rather than subscriptions.
  • PSG Equity took a majority investment in 2025, so the platform whose revenue already scales with your subscriber count is now controlled by an investor with a return horizon, and pricing structure changes should be planned for rather than assumed away.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Uscreen: What does Uscreen actually cost per month?

The plan price plus a per-subscriber fee: 1.99 US dollars per subscriber on Growth, 0.99 on App Essentials and Custom. Budget on your member count, not the tier.

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
Uscreen: Do I get real apps in the app stores?

Yes, branded apps published under your own name, with Uscreen handling submission. They start on the App Essentials plan at 449 US dollars per month.

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
Uscreen: Is there a storage limit?

Yes, 20 hours on Starter and 100 hours on Growth and App Essentials, with more available on request.

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
Uscreen: Is there a transaction fee?

Yes on one-off sales: 10 per cent on Starter, 5 per cent on higher plans, separate from payment processing charges.

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
Uscreen: Who owns Uscreen?

PSG Equity took a 150 million dollar majority investment in 2025, so it is private-equity controlled.

Ray32: Is there a free trial?

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