Model Pricing

MiniMax H3 SH has three dedicated modes: text/image output costs 8/12/16/32 credits per second at 480p/540p/768p/1080p. Reference output and input video cost 10/15/25/50 credits per second, plus 4 credits per reference image or standalone audio. Actual reference video seconds, including fractional seconds, are summed and capped at 15. Prices are before account multipliers.

Each API model has its own credit cost. Pricing depends on the model, quality settings, and resolution.
