Pros and cons
Elyum AI
- Keep-or-kill billing is unique: credits for rejected takes are returned in full, so you can run multiple takes of a prompt without paying for the misses.
- Model breadth is exceptional for the price: Seedance 2.5, Kling 3, Veo 3.1, MiniMax H3, GPT Image 2, ElevenLabs, and 40+ others all draw from one balance with no separate subscriptions.
- API and MCP access is included from the $9/month Plus plan, letting developers call any model from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor without touching the browser UI.
- Kill allowances are capped by plan tier, not by credit volume: Plus gets only 2 kills per month regardless of how many credits you buy, which severely limits the keep-or-kill advantage for heavy users on the entry plan.
- No editing tools whatsoever: there is no timeline, no inpainting, no outpainting, no prompt-based clip editing beyond what the generation models themselves produce, putting Elyum well behind Runway for post-generation work.
- Free plan asset generation is currently paused due to supplier costs, meaning new users cannot actually test the core product without purchasing credits, which undermines the freemium positioning.
Put Me In
- True pay-per-video model with no subscription: you pay $4.99 to $39.99 once and own the download, with no recurring commitment.
- Built-in refund guarantee: if the video cannot be made, the service remakes it or refunds in full within 2 business days, and photos that fail the review check are never charged.
- MCP server integration lets AI assistants like Claude walk users through template selection and photo requirements without visiting the site, a genuinely unusual distribution channel for a consumer tool.
- Template availability is unpredictable: several listed templates, including No Scrubs, are not open for orders at any given time, so the catalog you see on the pricing page is not the catalog you can actually buy from today.
- Videos are deleted 30 days after delivery with no option to extend storage, which means a video you forget to download is gone permanently.
- No free tier and no preview: you cannot see what your photo will look like in a template before paying, which makes the first purchase a blind spend of at least $4.99.
Our verdict
Elyum AI verdict
Elyum is the right pick for solo creators and small teams who want to audition multiple AI video models without committing credits upfront, thanks to its keep-or-kill billing mechanic. The tradeoff is real: it has no editing timeline, no inpainting, and no community feed, so it loses to Runway on post-generation polish. Anyone who needs avatar-led presenter videos or transcript-based editing should look elsewhere entirely.

Put Me In is the right pick for anyone who wants a single, shareable meme video without committing to a subscription. The template library is small, around ten options at launch, and some are not yet open for orders, which limits what you can actually buy on any given day. If you need original video creation, editing tools, or anything beyond pre-set meme formats, Runway is the better fit.
