The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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.
