If not, kill it: nothing charged. Failed renders cost zero automatically. Plans run from Free (up to 100 credits, no card) to Ultra at $69 (21.421 KWD, 2026-10-18)/mo. Credit top-ups never expire. One credit is $0.01 (0.003 KWD, 2026-10-18).

Sign-up takes an email or a Google account. No card required. Your card is charged in US dollars; KWD figures on this page are conversions at the rate shown with each price.

Beyond the browser, Elyum connects to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor through an MCP server and a REST API. Same credits, same keep/kill mechanic, same models.

Models tested on local briefs

Wan 3.0 passed both cultural accuracy takes and scored highest on UGC at 8.5 / 10. Kling 4.0 matched that score on its ad test but dropped one cultural take. Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 sit in the 7 to 7.5 range. For Gulf attire and setting accuracy, Wan 3.0 is the safest first pick right now.

Ad formats

Kuwait agency output lives in 9:16. Snapchat ads, Instagram Reels, TikTok verticals. The model pages on Elyum tag each test by format: look for the 9:16 ad and UGC results when comparing models for vertical product spots (perfume unboxings, smash burger close-ups, sneaker reveals). The 16:9 cinematic tests matter less here unless you are cutting longer brand films, but they show how each model handles panning and environment detail.

Paying from Kuwait

Stripe handles checkout in US dollars. Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay are accepted. The KWD amounts shown on this page are conversions at the dated rate each token carries, not a second currency at checkout. Free accounts need no card. Credit top-ups sit on your balance until you use them.
