Dreamina vs Vidu
Both handle creative shorts, product and ad content. Below we compare only what the official sites publish: prices, annual billing, models and credit rules. We don't judge whose output is better — we have no side-by-side samples to publish, so it would be a guess.
Which to choose, and when
- To try one month on monthly billing: Vidu is cheaper, Standard at $10/mo; the cheapest on Dreamina is Basic at $15/mo.
- If you need a China entry point: we confirmed Vidu has one (China website); Dreamina's China channel is unconfirmed, which is not the same as absent. An entry point does not mean the same plans or prices.
There is no "better overall" verdict. Each point above fits one situation; choose by whichever matters most in yours.

Credit rules
Dreamina
Credits are given monthly. Advanced lets you choose among several credit amounts; the one recorded here is the site's default.
Vidu
Subscription credits are issued monthly and valid for 30 days. The developer API is billed separately and not included in the subscription.
Credits are not a shared currency: one Dreamina credit and one Vidu credit buy different things, so the counts cannot be compared directly.

From each tool's own official pages (pricing or model pages). Which models a plan includes changes between versions; each model page gives its source and when it was last confirmed.
