For people who like Hailuo’s model but want to see the price of a clip before paying for a month.
Facts checked October 17, 2026 against the sources listed at the end of this page.
Try VdoBloom FreeVdoBloom is the pay-per-video Hailuo AI alternative: Hailuo/MiniMax models run next to Kling 3.0 Omni, Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1 and Wan 3.0 with no subscription, one-time credits that never expire, the cost shown before you generate and automatic refunds. Hailuo AI’s own app is the better choice if you want MiniMax H3 with its 12-reference Omni mode and the 3,000-credit MiniMax Design promotion on launch day.
Hailuo AI is MiniMax’s consumer video app. Its public home page (hailuoai.video, read on 17 October 2026) advertises an entry price of “From $9.99/mo” in the navigation, promotes “MiniMax H3 & Wan 3.0 Is Live”, and offers 3,000 free credits for downloading the MiniMax Design app. The generation panel on the home page shows MiniMax H3 with an “Omni Reference” mode that accepts up to 12 references, 2K output, a 5-second default and a 21:9 option.
The actual plan table is not public: the /subscribe page shows only the navigation and a sign-in button to a signed-out visitor, and the /pricing URL redirects to the home page. So the plan names, monthly credit allotments, rollover rule, watermark policy and free-tier limits are not verifiable without an account, and this guide does not state them.

Because Hailuo’s plan table is behind sign-in, this page states no Hailuo plan beyond the public “From $9.99/mo” figure and the promotions on its home page.
The public answer is “From $9.99/mo” — that phrase sits in Hailuo’s navigation bar — and nothing more until you sign in: the subscribe page is gated. If you are comparing plans, you will need an account to see the tiers and their credit allotments.
VdoBloom publishes every number without an account. The model directory lists each model’s credit cost, the pricing page lists every pack and plan in USD and INR, and the generate button shows the cost of the configured clip. One-time packs start at $10.39 for 200 credits ($19.50 for 300) or ₹299 for 75 credits in India, and they never expire.
Not necessarily. Hailuo/MiniMax models are available on VdoBloom on a pay-per-video basis, in the same wallet as Kling 3.0 Omni, Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1, Wan 3.0, Runway Gen-4.5 and Vidu Q4. No subscription is required and unspent credits never expire. MiniMax’s very newest model features — H3’s Omni Reference with 12 references at 2K was being promoted on launch — appear on the first-party app first.
We could not read those terms without signing in, so this guide does not state them. On VdoBloom one-time credits never expire, paid output has no watermark, and a failed generation is refunded to your balance automatically.
Hailuo’s public pages show a USD entry price and say nothing about INR or UPI. VdoBloom bills Indian users in rupees via Razorpay with UPI, cards and net banking; packs start at ₹299 for 75 credits and a Starter plan is ₹199 per month if you want one.
Hailuo’s public pages do not describe moderation, so we make no claim. VdoBloom labels every model with a content badge before you generate so you can choose a filter level that fits, and if the provider rejects a submitted job the credits come back automatically.
VdoBloom is built for people who want MiniMax-class video without committing to a month. You buy credits once, they never expire, and the price of each clip is on the button before you press it. Failed or stalled generations are refunded without a ticket. Monthly plans exist — Lite $15 (or $10 billed yearly), Starter ₹199 in India — but nothing requires one.
Hailuo/MiniMax models share the picker with Kling 3.0 Omni, Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1, Wan 3.0, Runway Gen-4.5, PixVerse and Vidu Q4, so a prompt that one model refuses or renders poorly can be re-run on another without leaving the page. 70+ one-click effect templates — kiss, hug, dance and more — start from a single photo.
Hailuo AI is the better choice if you want MiniMax H3 with its full Omni Reference mode — up to 12 references at 2K — on the day it ships, or if you will take the 3,000-credit MiniMax Design promotion. First-party apps also tend to expose model-specific controls (the 21:9 frame, batch counts) earlier than third-party platforms.
VdoBloom is the better choice if you want Hailuo as one option among many, you want to see prices without an account, and you would rather hold credits that never expire than a monthly plan.
VdoBloom, if you want MiniMax/Hailuo video without a monthly plan: Hailuo models run next to Kling 3.0 Omni, Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1 and Wan 3.0 on one-time credits that never expire, with the cost shown before you generate. Hailuo AI itself is better for MiniMax H3’s newest Omni Reference features at launch.
Hailuo’s home page says “From $9.99/mo”; the full plan table is shown only after you sign in (as of 17 October 2026), so individual tier prices and credits are not published here.
Its home page promotes 3,000 free credits for downloading the MiniMax Design app; the standard free allowance is not visible without signing in. VdoBloom gives free starter credits at sign-up with no card.
Yes — Hailuo/MiniMax models are in VdoBloom’s model picker on a pay-per-video basis, with the credit cost listed on the model page and on the generate button.
One-time credits never expire ($10.39 for 200 credits, ₹299 for 75 in India). Monthly plans are optional.
Free starter credits, no credit card. Credit packs you buy never expire, and the credit cost is shown before every generation.
