Luma Dream Machine API Pricing FAQ
01 How much does the Luma Dream Machine API cost?
The Dream Machine API uses a pay-as-you-go credit system. Credits start at $4 for 1,200 credits (~$0.0033 per credit). Costs per generation vary by model and resolution: Ray2 Flash costs about 11 credits per second of video, Ray3.14 720p SDR costs 100 credits for a 5-second clip, and Ray3.14 1080p SDR costs 400 credits for 5 seconds.
02 Are Dream Machine API credits the same as Dream Machine app credits?
No. The Dream Machine API has its own separate credit wallet. Credits purchased for the consumer Dream Machine app (via Plus, Pro, or Ultra subscriptions) do not transfer to the API, and vice versa. You need to fund each wallet independently.
03 Is there a free tier for the Luma Dream Machine API?
There is no permanent free tier for the Dream Machine API. Access requires purchasing credits. Some third-party API providers (such as PiAPI) offer limited free playground trials, but the official Luma API requires credit purchases starting at $4.
