AI video for Egypt's ad teams, tested from Cairo
Elyum is a single studio with 50+ AI video, image and audio models behind one credit balance. You sign up with an email or Google account, no card required. The Free plan may grant up to 100 credits (1 credit = $0.01 at the base rate and as little as $0.0061 on Ultra, billed yearly (0.53 EGP, 2026-10-18)). Paid plans start at $9 (481.14 EGP, 2026-10-18)/mo for Plus, $29 (1,550.33 EGP, 2026-10-18)/mo for Pro, $69 (3,688.72 EGP, 2026-10-18)/mo for Ultra, with credit top-ups that never expire. The studio runs in English; individual model pages exist in Arabic.
Every render comes back as a free preview, what Elyum calls a take. You watch it, then keep or kill. Keeping is the only moment credits leave your balance. Killing costs nothing. A render that fails is never charged. Plans include a fixed number of kills per period; previews themselves are always free. For a Cairo team buying media on tight ROAS, that means you can test five angles on a product shot and only pay for the one that ships.
Your card is charged in US dollars. Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay all work at Stripe checkout. Some Egyptian debit cards block international charges, so a credit card, Apple Pay, or a debit card enabled for international use is the safer path. The EGP figures on this page are conversions at the rate and date shown beside each price, not a local checkout currency.
Models tested on local briefs
Kling 4.0 and Seedance 2.5 both passed cultural accuracy checks and scored highest in their best-rated tests. Wan 3.0 handled local attire and settings well on a tighter budget. Seedance 2.0 landed a strong ad score but was not measured for cultural accuracy, so check the model page before running region-specific wardrobe or signage.

Ad formats
Cairo D2C campaigns live on Meta Reels 9:16, TikTok 9:16 and Facebook feed. The ad and UGC tests on each model page below were rendered at 9:16, the ratio that ships to both platforms without cropping. Cinematic tests ran at 16:9 for horizontal Facebook feed placements or brand content. If you are cutting a streetwear drop or a smash burger box spot, start with the 9:16 ad tests to see how each model handles product close-ups and quick cuts.
Paying from Egypt
Checkout runs on Stripe in US dollars. Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay are accepted. Some Egyptian debit cards block international charges; a credit card, Apple Pay, or a card enabled for international use works. Local payment rails like Paymob, InstaPay and Vodafone Cash are not available. The EGP conversions on this page use the rate and date shown next to each figure.
