	Team and Enterprise See website Companies that need shared credits and security controls.	Business Custom Agencies and media companies at volume.
Which plan to pick	Start on Plus for a month and watch the usage page closely, especially when the agent is working. Only move up to Pro once you know which models and workflows you'll use, because Veo clips cost about three times as much as Ray3.2.	Free is enough to see if the clips are any good. Starter removes the watermark, but Pro is the plan most people end up on: it adds the scheduler, all 9 posting platforms, extra brand templates, 16:9 and 1:1 reframing and export to Premiere. Business only makes sense for agencies or media teams.

Pros and cons

Attribute	Luma AI	OpusClip
Pros	Agents can run a brief across image, video and audio in one place Several leading video models under one subscription Strong controls for production: keyframes, reframe, HDR, editing footage Public API for Ray3.2 and Uni-1.1	The fastest way to turn one long video into lots of shorts AI Producer does a full edit of raw footage from a short brief Captions and reframing are accurate and easy to fix Scheduler, API and MCP mean you can automate posting
Cons	No free plan, and $30 a month is the minimum to use it properly The agent spends credits on thinking and questions, with no cost estimate first Premium models like Veo eat credits fast Reports of cancellation problems and slow support Old Dream Machine guides and plans still float around and confuse buyers	Built for talking content, so it's weak on cinematic or screen-recorded videos Credits run out quickly on long videos and repeated edits The scheduler, team seats and Premiere export need Pro AI Producer is still in beta, with a 5-minute limit per video
