I made a quick comparison after testing both for a small animated project. Not scientific, but here's roughly what I got: Luma Dream Machine: $0.18 - $0.40 per 10s clip, 1-3 min render time, medium consistency. It offers fast previews but sometimes has style drift. Sora API: $0.60 - $1.40 per 10s clip, 3-10 min render time, high consistency. Better motion logic but noticeably more expensive. For indie devs trying to ship content weekly, what’s actually sustainable?
