Why it costs less
Same official Wan 3.0 Prime, lower price
The model and its output are the same; the cost of serving it is lower. How our inference works.
Official partnerships
Direct partnerships with the official model labs give us their lowest partner and channel pricing on official models like Wan 3.0 Prime.
Our own inference engine
For open-source models, our own inference engine — GPU scheduling, warm pools and per-model tuning — lowers the cost of every output further.
Automatic routing
Every Wan 3.0 Prime request is routed to the most cost-effective healthy channel, with live health checks and failover.
Spend less
Ways to pay even less for Wan 3.0 Prime
Draft at 480p, deliver at 1080p
A second of 480p costs $0.0566 — 25% of the 1080p rate ($0.2263/s). Iterate on prompts and camera moves cheaply, then render the final cut with the same prompt.
Sound is already in the price
Wan 3.0 Prime generates synchronized audio at no extra cost, so there is no separate charge for ambience, effects or dialogue.
Test with 2-second clips
You pay per second of output (2–30 s per clip). A 2-second 480p test costs $0.11; lengthen only the takes you keep.
Consider Wan 3.0 for volume
In the same family, Wan 3.0 costs $0.1447/s at 1080p vs $0.2263/s for Wan 3.0 Prime — 36% less.
Failed generations cost nothing
The price is held when you submit and refunded in full if a generation fails or you cancel it while it is queued. You only pay for outputs you get.
Volume pricing below these rates
Committed monthly volume unlocks rates below the public price list, plus invoicing and dedicated capacity.
