Luma vs Vidu

Which to choose, and when

• To try one month on monthly billing: Vidu is cheaper, Standard at $10/mo; the cheapest on Luma is Plus at $30/mo.
• If you want to know what the credits buy before paying: Luma publishes per-second model rates, worked out on its tool page; for Vidu we have not found official rates that allow this.
• If you need a China entry point: we confirmed Vidu has one (China website); Luma'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.

Prices side by side

Amounts are list prices published on the official websites, in US dollars, before tax, and do not mean you can buy in your region.

Credit rules

Credits are not a shared currency: one Luma credit and one Vidu credit buy different things, so the counts cannot be compared directly.

Which models it offers

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.
