Hailuo 2.3 Image-to-Video Standard costs 15 credits for a 6-second clip at 768P, 25 credits for a 10-second clip at 768P, and 30 credits for a 6-second clip at 1080P — about $0.75, $1.25 and $1.50 respectively at the Lite plan rate of $0.05 per credit. There is no 10-second 1080P option on this tier; the longest high-resolution render the Standard model offers is 6 seconds. Every price is fixed per clip, not per generation attempt on a meter, and VdoBloom shows the exact credit figure before you confirm a run.

The full price table

Hailuo 2.3 Image-to-Video Standard has a deliberately small matrix: two durations (6 or 10 seconds) and two resolutions (768P or 1080P), with one combination missing. That makes the whole pricing story fit in a single table. Dollar figures below convert at the Lite subscription rate, where $15 buys 300 credits — five cents a credit.

Resolution	Duration	Credits	Cost at $0.05/credit	Credits per second
768P	6 seconds	15	$0.75	2.5
768P	10 seconds	25	$1.25	2.5
1080P	6 seconds	30	$1.50	5.0
1080P	10 seconds	Not available	—	—

Two things fall out of that table immediately. First, at 768P the model is priced linearly — 2.5 credits per second either way — so a 10-second clip costs exactly what two shorter clips would, and there is no penalty for going long. Second, the jump from 768P to 1080P doubles the per-second rate. Resolution, not duration, is the expensive axis here.

What a 1080P upgrade actually costs you

Going from a 6-second 768P render to the same clip at 1080P takes you from 15 credits to 30. In practical terms you are paying one extra 768P clip for the resolution bump. If you are producing a hero asset that will run full-screen, that is trivially worth it. If you are producing the ninth variation of a motion idea that may not survive review, it is 15 credits you did not need to spend.

The missing 10-second 1080P tier matters for planning. If your deliverable has to be both long and high-resolution, Standard cannot produce it in one pass. The options are to render at 768P for 10 seconds and upscale afterwards, to cut the concept down to 6 seconds, or to move to a model whose matrix covers it.

What each plan buys in Hailuo 2.3 Standard clips

Credit value is not flat across VdoBloom plans — larger plans and annual billing lower the effective price per credit, which changes the real cost of a clip considerably. Here is the same 6-second 768P render priced against several plans on the pricing page.

Plan	Price	Credits	Effective $/credit	Cost of a 6s 768P clip	Clips per month
Starter pack	$2.49 one-time	75	$0.033	$0.50	5 (credits never expire)
Lite monthly	$15	300	$0.050	$0.75	20
Lite annual	$10/mo	300	$0.033	$0.50	20
Pro 2,000 monthly	$59	2,000	$0.030	$0.44	133
Pro 2,000 annual	$49/mo	2,000	$0.025	$0.37	133

One honest note about the free tier: new accounts get 10 credits with no card, and the cheapest Hailuo 2.3 Standard render is 15. Those free credits will not cover a single clip on this model. They will cover several generations on cheaper models in the catalog, which is a reasonable way to learn the interface before you top up for a Hailuo run.

Standard versus Pro: the price gap

The Standard and Pro tiers of Hailuo 2.3 Image-to-Video offer an identical envelope — 6 or 10 seconds, 768P or 1080P — and differ in rendering treatment and in price. The gap is substantial.

Tier and setting	Standard credits	Pro credits	Pro premium
768P, 6 seconds	15	25	+67%
768P, 10 seconds	25	45	+80%
1080P, 6 seconds	30	45	+50%

That spread is what makes the two-pass workflow worth the discipline. Explore on Standard at 768P for 15 credits a try, run five or six motion prompts against the same source image, and only promote the winner to Pro. Five Standard tests plus one Pro 1080P final comes to 120 credits. Running the same six attempts on Pro at 1080P would cost 270.

How it compares to Hailuo 02

The other model in the Hailuo family on VdoBloom is Hailuo 02, which also runs 6 and 10 second clips at 768P and 1080P but sits in a different price bracket: 39 credits for 768P at 6 seconds, 45 for 768P at 10 seconds, and 45 for 1080P at 6 seconds. That is more than double Standard at the entry setting. Hailuo 02 earns it in two ways — it accepts text-only prompts as well as images, and it carries the family’s more permissive content label, where both 2.3 tiers apply strict filtering to the uploaded image and the prompt alike.

So the choice is not purely about spend. If your source material is likely to trip a strict filter, the cheaper 2.3 Standard render is not cheap at all when it gets refused. If your material is plainly within policy, Standard is the most economical way into the 2.3 generation.

Keeping your spend predictable

A few habits keep the numbers where you want them on this model. Draft every new concept at 768P for 6 seconds, the 15-credit floor, and treat that as the unit of experimentation. Fix the source image before you start varying the prompt — an image-to-video model inherits composition, lighting and framing from your still, so a weak input wastes credits no matter how the motion prompt reads. Generate that still first in image generation if you do not already have one. Then run your animation passes in the image-to-video tab, where the credit cost of the current settings is shown before you commit.

If you are animating a photograph of a real person, you must have that person’s consent before you upload it. Paid plans download without a watermark and carry commercial rights; credits bought as one-time packs never expire, which suits irregular project work better than a monthly subscription you will not always use.

Frequently asked questions

How much does one Hailuo 2.3 Image-to-Video Standard clip cost?

Between 15 and 30 credits depending on settings: 15 for 6 seconds at 768P, 25 for 10 seconds at 768P, and 30 for 6 seconds at 1080P. At the Lite rate of $0.05 per credit that is $0.75 to $1.50 per clip, and less on larger or annual plans.

Can I render 10 seconds at 1080P on the Standard tier?

No. The Standard tier supports 768P at 6 or 10 seconds and 1080P at 6 seconds only. For a long, high-resolution deliverable you either render at 768P and upscale, or shorten the clip to 6 seconds.

Is the Pro tier worth the extra credits?

For finished, client-facing work, usually. Pro costs 50% to 80% more per clip for the same duration and resolution options. The efficient pattern is to explore on Standard at 15 credits a render and pay the Pro premium once, on the version that ships.

Do my credits expire if I do not use them?

Credits from one-time packs never expire. Subscription credits refresh with each billing cycle. Either way the cost of a Hailuo 2.3 Standard clip is the same credit figure — only your effective dollar-per-credit rate changes with the plan.

Are my clips watermarked?

Free-tier downloads carry a watermark. Any paid plan downloads watermark-free with commercial rights, which applies to Hailuo 2.3 Standard output the same as to every other model in the catalog.
