Section 03

Pricing, plan by plan

A working month here is 20 ten-second clips on each tool's main model: the cheapest plan, billed monthly, whose credits cover them. Clips per plan are the plan's credits divided by one clip's cost.

Hailuo AI · working month

One ten-second clip costs 120 credits (MiniMax H3, 2K), so 20 need 2,400. Pro is the cheapest plan with that many credits.
