Dzine alternative Elyum, pay only for keeps
Dzine charges credits when a generation runs, while Elyum only charges when you keep the take.
Our algorithm may grant you 100 free credits · no card required
Dzine (formerly Stylar.ai) puts third-party image and video models behind a layer-based canvas. That canvas is the real product. Reviewers treat the compositional control as unusual among aggregators: you place, mask, and restyle before the model runs. Dzine also ships face swap, consistent character, lip sync, upscaling, and generative fill, plus Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, Midjourney, GPT Image, Flux, and Seedream. Built for designers who want one subscription instead of five accounts.
People look for a Dzine alternative because of billing, not the canvas. Beginner is $8.99EGP 481/mo for 1,000 image credits, no video credits, and no rollover. Creator is $24.99EGP 1,336/mo. Master is $59.99EGP 3,207/mo with unlimited images under a Fair Usage Policy. Trustpilot is 3.0/5 from about 46 reviews. Reviewers describe unexpected charges after a free trial, cancellation friction, and throttling to around 11 minutes per image once an undefined fair-use limit hits. Dzine's failed-generation policy is not published. Credits do not roll after you cancel.
Elyum is one studio and one credit balance across 50+ models. 1 credit equals $0.01EGP 0.53 at the base rate and as little as $0.0061EGP 0.33 on Ultra, billed yearly. Plans are Free (up to 100 credits once if our algorithm grants them, no card), Plus $9EGP 481/mo, Pro $29EGP 1,550/mo, and Ultra $69EGP 3,689/mo, with optional top-ups. Every render returns as a free preview (a take). KEEP is the only moment credits are charged. KILL refunds the rest in full. Failed generations are never charged. Plus 2, Pro 10, Ultra 25 kills per billing period on new plans and renewals; existing periods retain their allowance. Free allows one kill a month. Kept takes download at full quality, no watermark, commercial use included. Listed rates already sit about 20% under Higgsfield, OpenArt, and Runway.
Skip Elyum if you need Dzine's canvas or its productized lip sync, face swap, and upscaling. We do not ship a timeline editor, stock footage, avatars, a mobile app, team seats, or a community feed.
Why people switch from Dzine
- Pay only for kept takes
Every Elyum render is a free preview. KEEP charges credits. KILL refunds in full. Dzine's failed-generation policy is not published, so a bad Kling or Veo clip can still spend the monthly allotment.
- Published per-second prices
Dzine does not publish cents per credit. On Elyum, Kling 3.0 is 23 credits/second (5s = 115 credits = $0.70EGP 37 to $1.15EGP 61; 15s = 345 credits = $2.10EGP 112 to $3.45EGP 184). You can price a clip before you keep it.
- Fair-use throttle vs metered keep
Dzine Master ($59.99EGP 3,207/mo) and Master Pro ($149.99EGP 8,018/mo) advertise unlimited images under a Fair Usage Policy. Trustpilot reviewers report about 11 minutes per image after the cap. Elyum Pro ($29EGP 1,550/mo) and Ultra ($69EGP 3,689/mo) include fair-use unlimited on selected image models.
- Newer listed model versions
Dzine offers Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Nano Banana Pro, and Grok Imagine (1.5 not confirmed). Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0, Nano Banana 2, Seedream 5, and GPT Image 2 were not found on Dzine. Elyum lists those newer versions in the same studio.
- Video without a $24.99EGP 1,336 floor
Dzine Beginner ($8.99EGP 481/mo) has no video credits. Video tools start at Creator ($24.99EGP 1,336/mo, 3,000 video credits). Elyum Plus is $9EGP 481/mo. A kept 5s Seedance 2.0 clip at 480p is 55 credits ($0.34EGP 18 to $0.55EGP 29).
- Agents share the same balance
Dzine API access is not published. Elyum runs from the web studio or from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor via Elyum's MCP and a REST API. Same credit balance either way.
Where Dzine still wins
- Layer-based canvas
Dzine's compositional canvas is why long-time Stylar users stay. Elyum is a studio of models and takes, not a layout surface. If you design in layers before you generate, Dzine still wins that job.
- Editing tools Elyum does not ship
Face swap, consistent character, lip sync, upscaling, and generative fill sit in the Dzine suite. Dzine's video tools add a video editor, motion control, and video enhance from Creator up. Elyum has none of those productized.
- Credit rollover and Midjourney
Creator, Master, and Master Pro roll unused credits up to 3 months. Beginner does not. Elyum does not advertise a 3-month rollover. Dzine lists Midjourney in the canvas; Elyum does not claim Midjourney.
- Community and operating history
Dzine has run as Stylar.ai then Dzine, with an active Discord. Elyum has no community feed. If you pick tools from peer workflow threads, that room still lives on Dzine's side.

What it actually costs
Dzine's ladder from third-party pricing summaries (the official page returned HTTP 403) is Beginner $8.99EGP 481/mo ($4.49EGP 240/mo yearly) with 1,000 image credits, no video, no rollover. Creator $24.99EGP 1,336/mo ($12.49EGP 668/mo yearly) with 6,000 image plus 3,000 video credits, rollover up to 3 months, video tools, and premium image models. Master $59.99EGP 3,207/mo ($29.99EGP 1,603/mo yearly) is unlimited images under fair use plus 9,000 video credits. Master Pro $149.99EGP 8,018/mo ($74.99EGP 4,009/mo yearly) adds 30,000 video credits. Cents per credit and top-ups are not published.
Elyum pricing is Free up to 100 credits once (our algorithm may grant them), Plus $9EGP 481/mo, Pro $29EGP 1,550/mo, Ultra $69EGP 3,689/mo, plus optional top-ups. 1 credit is $0.01EGP 0.53 at the base rate and as little as $0.0061EGP 0.33 on Ultra, billed yearly. Pro and Ultra add fair-use unlimited image generation on selected image models. The about-20% cut versus Higgsfield, OpenArt, and Runway is already in the listed rate. For a single-model cut, see Dzine vs Elyum for Seedance 2.0.
Worked example: a 5-second Seedance 2.0 clip at 720p on Elyum is 145 credits ($0.88EGP 47 to $1.45EGP 78) if you KEEP it, or $0EGP 0 if you KILL it. Same clip at 1080p for 5s is 215 credits ($1.31EGP 70 to $2.15EGP 115). Rates live on the Seedance 2.0 page: 480p 11 credits/second (5s = 32 credits = $0.32EGP 17; 15s = 96 credits = $0.96EGP 51), 720p 29 credits/second, 1080p 43 credits/second, clips 4-15s, native audio. Dzine does not publish a per-second Seedance price, so you cannot line-item that clip against Creator's 3,000 video credits.
