What makes ngram different?
What ngram does better
Built from your real assets
ngram uses your actual screen recordings, docs, and images. The result shows your real product and brand - not AI-generated cinematic footage.
AI editing for real recordings
ngram auto-cuts filler words, adds smart zoom, cursor emphasis, and motion graphics to your recordings. Luma generates new footage from prompts - it doesn't edit existing content.
Context-aware business video
Tell ngram your audience, goal, and channel. It adapts structure and tone for product demos, launches, and customer content. Luma produces raw footage you assemble yourself.
Brand kits and no credit limits
ngram includes brand consistency and flat pricing. Luma charges per generation with credits, and commercial use requires the $29.99/month Plus tier minimum.
What Luma does better
Cinema-quality AI generation
Luma Dream Machine produces some of the most realistic AI-generated video available. If you need photorealistic synthetic footage for films, ads, or creative work, Luma is a top choice.
4K + HDR output
Luma outputs in 4K with HDR support on Plus and Pro plans. For high-fidelity creative production, this resolution and dynamic range exceeds what most AI video tools offer.
43% cheaper starting price
Luma Lite at $9.99/month is 43% cheaper than ngram's $17.40/month. For creators who need AI-generated clips on a budget, Luma offers a lower entry point.
