Hailuo / MiniMax pricing (2026): how many videos does each plan actually give you?
Tired of paying for a video generator, burning the credits in a weekend, and only then finding out what the plan really bought you? Here is Hailuo / MiniMax's math before you subscribe.
Hailuo / MiniMax's Standard plan is $10.50 a month for 1,000 credits. At 60 per 5-second MiniMax H3 clip that is 16 generations — and if you re-roll every other one, roughly 5 videos you would actually keep.

“Generations” is the monthly allowance divided by the cost of one clip at the settings shown, rounded down. “Usable at 3 tries” assumes you keep one clip in three; change that assumption on the full comparison. Yearly prices are shown per month.
The catch
- Current displayed monthly offer, excluding taxes. 60-credit quote: H3, Omni Reference, 2K, 5s. H3 Max and Hailuo 2.3 are different models. Unlimited benefits are not a numeric image allowance.
What a real user found
A local H3 user needed a crop/detail pass when a face occupied little of the frame. This is model-level evidence from a local workflow, not a hosted-app test.
Trade-off: H3, H3 Max and Hailuo 2.3 use different quality/speed/cost profiles.
