Hailuo (MiniMax) pricing, credits and API costs
Hailuo pricing depends on the access path: the hosted app has its own account plans and credits, while the MiniMax platform bills API use by model. This page separates those paths instead of converting one into the other.
Pricing paths
Hosted app
Hosted-app plan prices, free-credit resets, and watermark terms are not verified here. The official app is the source of truth; API rates below must not be read as app credits.
Pay-as-you-go API
MiniMax H3 and H3 Max bill by output second. Legacy Hailuo 2.3 and Hailuo 02 also publish per-clip list prices, so they can be budgeted without buying a package.
Video points
Fixed packages cover Hailuo video models and deduct points by model, resolution, and duration. MiniMax states that MiniMax H3 is not supported by these packages.
API pricing by model
Output and input materials are billed separately. Input costs apply to the multimodal H3 paths.

Pricing FAQ
- Is Hailuo AI free to use?
- This page does not verify a stable free allowance for the hosted Hailuo app. MiniMax API generation is billed: H3 and H3 Max use per-second output pricing, while Hailuo 2.3 and Hailuo 02 can be billed per clip or through video-point packages. Check the official app for current account credits and trial terms.
- How much does MiniMax H3 cost?
- The checked MiniMax pay-as-you-go table lists MiniMax H3 at $0.08 per output second at 768P and $0.13 per output second at 2K. H3 Max is $0.05 per second at 480P and $0.08 per second at 768P.
- How do Hailuo video points work?
- MiniMax sells fixed video packages from $1,000 for 3,760 points to $6,000 for 26,780 points. Hailuo 2.3 and Hailuo 02 deduct points by resolution and duration; for example, a 768P 6-second video deducts 1 point. MiniMax says these packages do not support MiniMax H3.
- Can API prices be used to estimate Hailuo app credits?
- No. API balance, video points, and hosted-app credits are separate billing surfaces. This page keeps them separate so an API rate is never presented as an app free tier or subscription credit.
