MiniMax H3 vs Wan 2.2 FAQ
- Which is cheaper to run, MiniMax H3 or Wan 2.2?
- Different billing shapes. Hosted MiniMax H3 starts at $0.05/s (fal, 480p) up to $0.16/s at 4K, with the official MiniMax API at $0.08/s (768p). Wan 2.2 ships open weights under Apache 2.0, so self-hosting is free apart from your own GPU time; hosted per-second rates for Wan 2.2 were not verified on the checked date, and Runway’s resold wan3 endpoint prices the newer Wan 3 generation.
- Can I self-host both models?
- Yes, under different terms. Wan 2.2 weights are Apache 2.0 with native ComfyUI support. MiniMax H3 publishes checkpoints on Hugging Face under the MiniMax H3 Community License, which requires an application for use in the US, EU, UK and South Korea; ComfyUI support landed on day one.
- Which one generates native audio?
- MiniMax H3 lists native audio. Wan 2.2’s verified record covers text-to-video and image-to-video without a native-audio claim.
