Hailuo Pricing: Hailuo 03 Cost per Second, per Clip and per Plan (2026)
In this article▾
Hailuo pricing on MiniMax's API is $0.13 a second for Hailuo 03 at 2K and $0.08 at 768P, so a 5 second 2K clip costs $0.65 and a 10 second clip $1.30. This guide sets out every Hailuo price we could read on 30 October 2026: MiniMax's pay-as-you-go API, the Hailuo app's monthly and yearly plans, and the credit rates for Hailuo 03, 03 Max and Max Turbo on Wireflow, which runs all three as nodes behind one API.
The short version: MiniMax's API bills only what you render, from $0.025 a second for its lightest H3 tier at 480P up to $0.13 for Hailuo 03 at 2K. The Hailuo app is cheaper per second if you use your monthly credits, from $0.081 a second at 2K on yearly billing. The fastest draft tier, Hailuo 03 Max Turbo, has no row on MiniMax's price page, so its price depends on where you run it.
Hailuo cost per 5 and 10 second clip
| Where you run it (30 Oct 2026) | Hailuo 03 at 2K, 5 s | Hailuo 03 at 2K, 10 s | Hailuo 03 Max at 768P, 5 s | Hailuo 03 Max at 768P, 10 s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MiniMax API, pay as you go | $0.65 | $1.30 | $0.40 | $0.80 |
| Hailuo app, Pro plan billed monthly | $0.51 | $1.02 | $0.30 | $0.59 |
| Hailuo app, Pro plan billed yearly | $0.41 | $0.81 | $0.24 | $0.47 |
| Hosted nodes on credits (about 1.35 cents a credit) | $2.81 (208 credits) | $5.28 (391 credits) | $1.08 (80 credits) | $1.73 (128 credits) |
The app rows use the per-second price printed on each plan card, which assumes you spend the whole monthly allowance on that model. The credits row costs the most per clip; what it adds is one key and one bill for Hailuo 03, 03 Max and Max Turbo next to other video models, which is what the Hailuo API page covers.

Hailuo 03 or MiniMax H3? The names behind the prices
MiniMax's API and the Hailuo app call this model family MiniMax H3, while hosts and node catalogs often list it as Hailuo 03, as the MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 03) page does. The names map like this:
- Hailuo 03 is MiniMax-H3: 2K or 768P on MiniMax's API.
- Hailuo 03 Max is MiniMax-H3-Max: 480P or 768P, with image, video and audio references.
- Hailuo 03 Max Turbo is the fast tier of H3 Max, with no row on MiniMax's price page or the app's plan cards.
- H3 Highspeed and H3 Lite are cheaper H3 tiers sold only on MiniMax's API.
You buy them in two places: the Hailuo AI app, which sells monthly credit plans, and the MiniMax API platform, which bills per second of video.
MiniMax API prices per second
MiniMax's API is pay as you go: you add funds, and each video is billed per second of output at the resolution you pick. For Hailuo 03, that is $0.13 a second at 2K. These are the rates on MiniMax's pricing page on 30 October 2026.
| Model on MiniMax's API | Resolution | Output video, per second | Input video, per second | Each extra input image |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MiniMax-H3 (Hailuo 03) | 2K | $0.13 | $0.13 | $0.04 |
| MiniMax-H3 (Hailuo 03) | 768P | $0.08 | $0.08 | $0.04 |
| MiniMax-H3-Max (Hailuo 03 Max) | 768P | $0.08 | $0.143 | $0.074 |
| MiniMax-H3-Max (Hailuo 03 Max) | 480P | $0.05 | $0.0553 | $0.074 |
| MiniMax-H3-Highspeed | 768P | $0.06 | $0.06 | $0.03 |
| MiniMax-H3-Lite | 768P | $0.04 | $0.04 | $0.02 |
| MiniMax-H3-Lite | 480P | $0.025 | $0.025 | $0.02 |
Hailuo 03 Max costs the same as Hailuo 03 per second of output at 768P, $0.08, but its reference footage costs more. Three things change the final bill:
- Reference images: Hailuo 03 includes the first 5 images per task, then charges $0.04 each. Hailuo 03 Max includes 2, then charges $0.074 each.
- Reference video: billed per second of the input clip, so 10 seconds of reference footage on Hailuo 03 Max at 768P adds $1.43.
- Audio input: free on both.
MiniMax also sells prepaid video packages, from $1,000 for 3,760 points to $6,000 for 26,780 points, each valid for one month. The page says these "support Hailuo video models" but "MiniMax H3 is not supported yet", so Hailuo 03 runs on pay as you go only.
Older Hailuo models are still sold per video: Hailuo 2.3 costs $0.28 for a 6 second 768P clip and $0.56 for 10 seconds, and 2.3 Fast costs $0.19 and $0.32. For other places to run Hailuo, see our list of Hailuo AI alternatives.
Hailuo app plans, monthly and yearly
The Hailuo app sells credits by the month, and each plan card prints a price per second for each model. These are the plans on 30 October 2026; monthly prices were shown as discounts off list, so check the total at checkout.
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly, per month | Credits a month | Hailuo 03 at 2K per second, monthly / yearly | Seconds of 2K a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | One-time trial credits | Not listed | Not listed |
| Standard | $10.50 (list $14.99) | $8.40 ($100.80 a year) | 1,000 | $0.126 / $0.101 | About 84 |
| Pro | $38.00 (list $54.99) | $30.40 ($364.80 a year) | 4,500 | $0.102 / $0.081 | About 375 |
| Master | $89.00 (list $119.99) | $71.20 ($854.40 a year) | 10,500 | $0.102 / $0.081 | About 875 |
| Max | $216.00 | $184.00 ($2,208 a year) | 27,000 | $0.096 / $0.081 | About 2,250 |
At 768P, H3 and H3 Max cost from $0.074 a second (Standard, monthly) down to $0.047 (yearly Pro and up), and H3 Max at 480P costs $0.042 down to $0.027. Every paid plan lists watermark removal, and Max adds unlimited Hailuo 2.0 and 2.3. For how another video app sells credits, see Kling's plans and credits.
Hailuo 03, 03 Max and Max Turbo on credits
The node canvas from the intro hosts all three Hailuo tiers and bills them in credits. Every paid plan on its pricing page works out to about 1.35 cents a credit (Starter is $36 for 2,660 credits). The credits below are the board's estimates on 30 October 2026, and runs are charged for the real length.
| Hosted node | Resolution | 5 second clip | 10 second clip | At 1.35 cents a credit, 5 s / 10 s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hailuo 03 | 2K only | 208 credits | 391 credits | $2.81 / $5.28 |
| Hailuo 03 Max | 768P (default) | 80 credits | 128 credits | $1.08 / $1.73 |
| Hailuo 03 Max | 480P | 50 credits | 80 credits | $0.68 / $1.08 |
| Hailuo 03 Max Turbo | 768P (default) | 40 credits | 80 credits | $0.54 / $1.08 |
| Hailuo 03 Max Turbo | 480P | 25 credits | 50 credits | $0.34 / $0.68 |
To be plain about price: per clip, MiniMax's API and the Hailuo app both cost less. A 10 second Hailuo 03 clip at 2K is $1.30 on MiniMax's API and about $5.28 in credits, roughly four times more. Credits make sense when Hailuo is one step in a longer job, such as an image model making the first frame for an image-to-video API call, with every model on one key and one bill.
Hailuo 03 renders at 2K only, while Max and Max Turbo default to 768P, about 60% more per second than 480P. Turbo costs about half what Max does and returns a 5 second clip in a couple of seconds, so it suits drafts. To compare these rates with other video models, see our roundup of video generation APIs.
How to budget a Hailuo project
Every current Hailuo 03 price is per second, so a budget starts from total seconds, the same math as our Seedance pricing comparison. Take a team making forty 10 second clips a month, which is 400 seconds.
- Pick the resolution you will ship. At 400 seconds, Hailuo 03 costs $52 on MiniMax's API at 2K and $32 at 768P.
- Match a plan to the seconds. The app's Pro plan covers about 375 seconds of 2K for $38, just short of 400. Master covers about 875 seconds for $89 a month, or $71.20 billed yearly.
- Draft cheaply, render once. Test prompts on Hailuo 03 Max at 480P ($0.05 a second on MiniMax's API) or on Max Turbo, then render only the keepers at 2K.
- Budget for references. Each 10 second reference clip on Hailuo 03 Max at 768P adds $1.43 on MiniMax's API.
Prices like these move often, so we date every figure. For another model billed by the second, see our breakdown of Veo 3.1 pricing.
Try it yourself: Build this workflow in Wireflow. The nodes are pre-configured: one prompt goes to GPT Image 2.5 Flare for a first frame (5 credits), and Hailuo 03 turns it into a 5 second 2K clip (208 credits), so you can see the credit estimate on each node before you run. You can open and change this workflow for free, and new accounts get a free video. More videos need a plan, from $36 a month for 2,660 credits.

Yes. MiniMax's API covers MiniMax's own models. To call Hailuo next to models from other providers with one key, you can run a saved workflow over HTTP, as the AI workflow API page shows.
Conclusion
Hailuo pricing comes down to seconds: $0.13 a second for Hailuo 03 at 2K on MiniMax's API, as little as $0.081 in the Hailuo app if you use a yearly plan's credits, and $0.025 to $0.08 for the lighter H3 tiers. Pick the app if you will use a monthly allowance, MiniMax's API if your volume changes month to month, and Wireflow if Hailuo is one node in a longer job with other models, starting from the AI video generator.
