Quick answer
The cheapest ranked partner rate inside Luma is Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p: 12 credits/sec on Plus annual credits ($0.0025) = $0.03/sec, $0.90 per 30-second try, $2.70 usable with 2 retries — #5= of all 210 rates we rank, and cheaper than the same model on BytePlus ($3.24). MiniMax H3 Max 480p is $4.05 (#19=); Seedance 2.0 480p $5.40 (#31=); Kling 4.0 / 4.0 Omni 720p $11.93 (#98); Veo 3.1 (720p or 1080p) $31.50 (#161). All 26 rates below are Text/Image-to-Video only; Video-to-Video ~estimates, Sync lipsync and Gemini Omni Flash are not ranked. Ray3.2 (Luma’s own model) is on Luma cost.
New Nov 2, 2026 (9pm): 26 Luma partner T2V/I2V rates are now in ClipCost’s verified data and rankings (Seedance 2.0 Mini / 2.0 / 2.5, Kling 4.0 / 3.0 / 3.0 Turbo, Veo 3.1, MiniMax H3 / H3 Max, Flux 3). That re-ranked every rate from about $2.70 up (e.g. Ray3.2 720p moved from #20= to #22=). Flags: V2V partner rates are approximate (~); Gemini Omni Flash has no per-second price; MiniMax reference-image extras not applied; Seedance 2.5 Draft = same credits as 480p; Kling 4.0 and 4.0 Omni share one ranked rate each.
Added Nov 3, 2026 9pm: Native Black Forest Labs FLUX 3 is now ranked separately — HD matches this Luma partner dollar rate; FHD undercuts it. See FLUX 3 cost.
Basis: usable = 3 attempts (1 + 2 retries), as in our calculator. Plan credit = Plus billed annually ($300/yr for 10,000 credits a month = $0.0025). Rank = position among the 210 verified usable-30s rates in our verified data (ties share a rank). Cost only — no quality ranking.

Same model, different storefront: Luma vs native / API
Where ClipCost already ranks the same model on its native storefront or API, here is the usable-30s comparison. “Winner” is on cost only — plan credits need a subscription you actually use; APIs are pay-as-you-go.

Which storefront to pick (on cost)
Expanded cross-storefront tables for Seedance, Kling, Veo and MiniMax: Which AI video storefront.
- Cheapest audio clip inside Luma: Seedance 2.0 Mini 480p ($2.70 usable) — also beats BytePlus Mini 480p ($3.24).
- Budget MiniMax with audio: H3 Max 480p inside Luma ($4.05) beats MiniMax’s own API H3-Max 480P ($4.50).
- Kling 3.0 without audio: the Kling app at 720p ($5.40) still beats Luma’s 30 credits/sec row ($6.75) if you already pay for Kling.
- Veo 3.1: Vertex AI Veo 3.1 Fast/Lite rows are far cheaper than Luma’s flat 140 credits/sec ($31.50) — use Luma only if you want Veo inside the same credit pool as Seedance/Kling.
- Need Ray3.2 (silent) instead? See Luma cost — 540p is $2.25 usable on Plus annual.

FAQ
How much do Luma partner models cost?

Is Seedance cheaper inside Luma than on BytePlus?
At 480p Mini, yes on plan credits: Luma charges 12 credits/sec ($0.03/sec, $2.70 usable) vs BytePlus ModelArk's $0.036/sec ($3.24 usable). At 720p Mini, Luma is $5.85 vs BytePlus $6.84. You need an active Luma paid plan and unused monthly credits; BytePlus is pay-as-you-go with no subscription.
How does Kling 4.0 inside Luma compare to Kling 3.0?
Kling 4.0 / 4.0 Omni inside Luma is 53 credits/sec at 720p ($11.93 usable) and 79 at 1080p ($17.78). Kling 3.0 / 3.0 Omni at 720p with audio is 40 credits/sec ($9.00); without audio 30 ($6.75). Kling 4.0 and 4.0 Omni share the same Luma credit price, so ClipCost ranks one rate each. Native Kling-app 3.0 rates and Pika's Kling 3.0 are listed in the storefront comparison table.

On Plus annual credits, MiniMax H3 Max 480p inside Luma is $4.05 usable — cheaper than MiniMax's own API H3-Max 480P at $4.50. H3 768p inside Luma is $6.30 vs MiniMax API $7.20. Reference-image extras (first few free, then more credits) are not included in either ClipCost rate.
Which Luma partner rates are not ranked?
Video-to-Video partner prices marked with a tilde (~) on Luma's pricing page, Sync lipsync (4/6/45 credits/sec), and Gemini Omni Flash ("Up to 370 credits" per video, no per-second price). Ray3.2 — Luma's own model — is ranked on the Luma cost page page. Seedance 2.5 Draft equals 480p at 36 credits/sec, so it shares one ranked row.
Do Luma partner models include audio?
Yes for the ranked Seedance, Kling (audio rows), Veo 3.1, MiniMax H3 / H3 Max and Flux 3 text/image-to-video rates — Luma's pricing table marks Audio = Yes. Kling 3.0 / 3.0 Omni also has no-audio rows at 720p and 1080p (30 and 40 credits/sec). Ray3.2 itself has no audio.
