RECATOOLS Verdict

Dream is one of the easiest ways into AI art: pick a style, type a line, and get a stylised image or short clip on your phone or in a browser, with a free tier that is enough to see whether you like it. Paid plans remove the watermark and add video and more styles, at $19.99 or $34.99 a month or $99.99 to $199.99 a year.

It is entertainment-grade rather than production-grade: output is stylised, control is limited and there is no API. The pricing page mixes credit allowances with "unlimited" wording, and in-app prices can differ, so read the plan terms before tapping subscribe.

What we found

Dream by WOMBO is a consumer app for making stylised AI images and short videos from a text prompt or a photo, on the web, iOS and Android. You type an idea, pick a style from a gallery, and get a result in seconds; the site now leads with text-to-video and image-to-video modes as well as stills. It comes from WOMBO Studios Inc. of Toronto, which released Dream in October 2021, months after its original lip-sync selfie app. According to BetaKit, Google named Dream one of its best apps of 2022 in the United States, and WOMBO's apps have passed 200 million downloads combined.

The product is still live and still updated. The iOS app reached version 7.0.9 in April 2026 and held 4.79 stars from 143,708 ratings on the App Store, read 14 October 2026. Output leans painterly and illustrative rather than photorealistic, and controls are thin compared with Midjourney or a dedicated video model: you steer with presets more than with settings. There is no public API.

Pricing on dream.ai has three levels. Free gives five credits a day with standard styles and watermarked exports. Standard costs $19.99 a month, or $99.99 a year, and Pro $34.99 a month or $199.99 a year; Pro adds a priority queue, exclusive styles and longer videos. The page lists both monthly credit allowances (1,250 and 3,250) and "unlimited image generation" for the paid plans without explaining how the two fit together, so check what a video costs before subscribing. Prices inside the mobile apps may differ from the web.

WOMBO's own focus has widened. In 2024 it raised about CA$12.2 million, led by Round13 with Nvidia and CoreWeave joining, and www.wombo.ai now points to W.AI, a network that pays users in tokens for spare computing power. Dream's footer links to that network's terms rather than a separate Dream policy, a small but telling detail for a consumer app.
