On VdoBloom, Hailuo 02 costs 39 credits for a 6-second 768P clip, 45 credits for a 10-second 768P clip, and 45 credits for a 6-second 1080P clip — roughly $1.95, $2.25 and $2.25 at the Lite plan rate of $0.05 per credit. There is no 10-second 1080P option; MiniMax’s model does not support that combination, so the platform does not offer it. Those three numbers are the entire price list, and they come straight from the credit table the generator itself reads before it charges you.

The full Hailuo 02 price table

VdoBloom prices Hailuo 02 by duration and resolution together, not by a flat per-clip fee. The dollar figures below use the simplest conversion available: the Lite subscription is $15 a month for 300 credits, so one credit is exactly $0.05. Every other plan makes each credit cheaper, which is covered further down.

Resolution	Duration	Credits	Cost at $0.05/credit	Credits per second
768P	6 seconds	39	$1.95	6.5
768P	10 seconds	45	$2.25	4.5
1080P	6 seconds	45	$2.25	7.5
1080P	10 seconds	Not available	—	—

The same price applies whether you drive Hailuo 02 from a text prompt or from a starting image. It is one of the models in the catalog that does both jobs, so a 6-second 768P text-to-video render and a 6-second 768P image-to-video render both cost 39 credits.

The pricing quirk worth knowing

Ten seconds at 768P is the cheapest second you can buy from this model. Going from 6 seconds to 10 seconds at 768P adds four seconds of footage for six extra credits — 30 cents. That drops the effective rate from 6.5 credits per second to 4.5, a 31 percent discount per second of finished video.

The practical consequence: if you are genuinely unsure whether your shot needs 6 or 10 seconds, generate the 10-second version and trim in edit. You pay 15 percent more and get 67 percent more footage. The only reason to take the 6-second option at 768P is when you know the motion collapses after a few seconds, which happens with busy multi-subject prompts.

The 1080P jump is priced differently. Six seconds at 1080P costs the same 45 credits as ten seconds at 768P, so the choice there is literally resolution versus length at an identical price. For anything going to a phone-sized feed, 768P at ten seconds is usually the better trade. For a hero shot on a landing page or a YouTube upload, take the 1080P.

What the same clip costs on other plans

Credits do not cost $0.05 everywhere — that is just the Lite rate, and it is the most expensive subscription rate on the board. Larger plans and annual billing bring the per-credit price down, which changes what a Hailuo 02 clip actually costs you.

How you bought the credits	Price per credit	39-credit clip	45-credit clip
Starter one-time pack, $2.49 for 75 credits	$0.0332	$1.29	$1.49
Lite subscription, $15/month for 300 credits	$0.05	$1.95	$2.25
Pro subscription, $29/month for 800 credits	$0.0363	$1.41	$1.63
Pro subscription, $59/month for 2,000 credits	$0.0295	$1.15	$1.33
Pro 2,000 tier on annual billing, $49/month	$0.0245	$0.96	$1.10

Two things fall out of that table. First, the cheapest Hailuo 02 clip on the platform is just under a dollar, on the annual 2,000-credit tier. Second, the Lite plan is the worst per-credit rate on the list — even the $2.49 starter pack beats it, and those one-time pack credits never expire, while subscription credits refresh on a monthly cycle. If Hailuo 02 is an occasional tool rather than your daily driver, buying packs is the cheaper pattern. The full ladder is on the pricing page.

Your 10 free credits will not cover a Hailuo 02 clip

Every new account gets 10 free credits with no card. Being straight about it: 10 credits does not buy a Hailuo 02 generation, because the cheapest tier is 39. This is a premium physics-and-camera model and it is priced like one.

If you want to spend the free credits learning the platform first, start on a cheaper video model — a 10-second 480P Seedance 2 Mini image-to-video render is 10 credits, which the free balance covers exactly. Once you know what prompt structure works, move the winning idea onto Hailuo 02. Browse the full lineup and per-model specs in the Hailuo 02 model page and the wider model directory.

Is Hailuo 02 worth 39 to 45 credits?

It depends entirely on what the shot needs. Hailuo 02 is MiniMax’s physics-and-camera model: things that fall, splash, swing, collide or get thrown behave more believably than on models tuned for pretty static scenes, and deliberate camera moves like push-ins and orbits land more reliably. If your clip has weight and momentum in it, that is what you are paying the premium for.

If your shot is a slow, mostly static portrait with gentle motion, you are overpaying. A cheaper image animator will produce a near-identical result for a third of the credits. Hailuo 02 also carries VdoBloom’s flexible content label, so stylized action, horror atmospheres and edgier concepts clear here where stricter models refuse — explicit and illegal content stays blocked regardless of model.

Worth comparing against its siblings: Hailuo 2.3 Image-to-Video Pro costs 25 credits for a 6-second 768P clip, 14 credits less than Hailuo 02 at the same tier, but it is image-to-video only and runs strict filtering. If you are animating a still you already art-directed, the 2.3 tiers are the cheaper path. If you are generating from text, Hailuo 02 is the one in this family that can.

Running the numbers for a real project

Say you need five finished 10-second social clips at 768P. That is 5 × 45 = 225 credits, or $11.25 at the Lite rate and $5.51 on the annual Pro 2,000 tier. Budget for iteration too — assume two attempts per keeper and the real figure is 450 credits. The 800-credit Pro plan at $29 covers that month comfortably with room left for image work.

Generate from text on the text-to-video tab, or upload a starting frame on the image-to-video tab. If you animate a photo of a real person, you must have that person’s consent before you generate.

Frequently asked questions

How much does one Hailuo 02 video cost?

Between 39 and 45 credits. Specifically 39 for 6 seconds at 768P, 45 for 10 seconds at 768P, and 45 for 6 seconds at 1080P. At the Lite rate of $0.05 per credit that is $1.95 to $2.25 per clip, dropping to roughly $0.96 to $1.10 on the annual 2,000-credit Pro tier.

Can I generate a 10-second 1080P clip with Hailuo 02?

No. The model supports 6 or 10 seconds and 768P or 1080P, but the 10-second and 1080P combination is not offered. For ten seconds you use 768P; for 1080P you use six seconds. Both of those cost 45 credits.

Does image-to-video cost more than text-to-video on Hailuo 02?

No. Hailuo 02 does both from a single model and the price is driven only by duration and resolution. A 6-second 768P clip is 39 credits whether you started from a prompt or from an uploaded image.

Do my credits expire?

One-time credit packs, starting at $2.49 for 75 credits, never expire. Subscription credits are allocated on a monthly cycle. If you only reach for Hailuo 02 occasionally, packs are both cheaper per credit than the Lite plan and safer against wastage.

Is there a cheaper model that does what Hailuo 02 does?

For text-driven physics and camera work, not really within this family — the 2.3 tiers are image-to-video only. For plain image animation, Hailuo 2.3 Standard starts at 15 credits for 6 seconds at 768P, well under half the Hailuo 02 price, and is the sensible choice when your shot does not need momentum-heavy motion.
