Hailuo AI costs $14.99 to $216 a month, and its subscription credits expire every month.
Hailuo AI, MiniMax's video app, lists Standard at $14.99/month for 1,000 credits, Pro at $54.99 for 4,500, Master at $119.99 for 10,500 and Max at $216 for 27,000. On 14 November 2026 it showed Standard at $10.50, Pro at $38 and Master at $89 billed monthly, and yearly billing from $8.40/month. The Free plan has no monthly credits, only a one-time trial pack that expires in three days, and subscription credits expire every month. Standard's 1,000 credits buy about 143 seconds of MiniMax H3 at 768P, roughly 23 six-second clips. Zemith Plus is $15.99/month with 1.5M credits: about 39 six-second MiniMax H3 Max Turbo clips at 768P, or the same credits on Veo 3.1, Kling, SeedDance, images and AI chat. If you only make video and render hundreds of clips a month, Hailuo Pro and Max are cheaper per second.
Zemith Plus runs MiniMax H3 next to Veo 3.1, Kling and SeedDance, plus AI chat, for $15.99/mo.
- MiniMax H3 Max Turbo costs 6,400 credits a second at 768P (4,000 at 480P, 12,800 at 1080P), so Plus's 1.5M credits make about 39 six-second 768P clips. It does text to video and image to video, 4 to 15 seconds, with sound.
- MiniMax H3 image to video (768P, 12,800 credits a second) is there too, and the same credits run Veo 3.1, Kling V3.0, SeedDance 2.5, Wan 2.7 and Grok Imagine.
- Director turns an idea into a multi-shot film with key frames, voice-over, music and captions, and Characters keeps one face across shots.
- The same balance covers GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok chat, deep research and Word, PowerPoint, Excel and PDF files, and top-ups from $10 (800k credits) never expire.
