The honest take

MiniMax's video generator — cheap-looking credit tiers and fast renders from a newly public $13B company.

Best for: High-volume creators chasing the lowest advertised cost per clip among major video generators

Where it falls short: Real cost per finished HD video is opaque — premium models can burn through Standard's 1,000 monthly credits in a handful of clips

What you actually get

  • Text-to-video
  • Image-to-video

Should you pay for it?

The free tier of Hailuo AI is good enough for casual use. Pay $14.99 only when you start hitting daily caps or need access to the better models.
