Is Luma cheaper than Runway?

Yes, slightly. Luma starts around $10/month against roughly $15/month for Runway, though credit limits usually matter more than the headline price.

What is the cheapest way to draft video on TulexAI?

Kling 2.5 Turbo costs the fewest Platform Tokens per second, so it is the cheapest engine for rough passes before a final Veo or Runway render.

Can I use several video engines on one plan?

Yes. Runway Gen-4, Kling, Veo 3.1 and Seedance Pro all draw on the same monthly token budget, with overspend protection applied to every render.

Quick answer

Luma Dream Machine is the sketchpad: generations come back quickly and camera moves feel fluid, from about $10/month.

TulexAI sits closer to Runway - Gen-4 is included from $23/month, alongside Veo 3.1, Kling 2.6 Pro and Seedance 2.5 on the $46 plan.
