MiniMax Hailuo 2.3
good motion, impossible pricing
a genuinely capable model behind the least transparent pricing in the category — $1,000 minimum packages that expire monthly are hard to recommend to anyone small.
hailuo has a strong reputation for motion quality and a large consumer following, and the model itself is competitive.
the pricing is the problem and it is worth being blunt about it. minimax sells 'video points' in packages starting at $1,000 for 3,760 points, rising to $6,000 — and the points expire after a month. the documentation gives deduction examples rather than rates, so working out what a project costs means reverse-engineering it from worked examples.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.
