How MiniMax H3 Max pricing works

One balance and one price list for the Studio, the API and MCP.

Use in Studio Get API key
  • Pay as you go. No subscription needed and no seats. Add credits with a card; optional monthly plans add credits every month, and Pro and Max lower prices.
  • The price before you run. The exact cost is on the Generate button in the Studio, and the API's free quote endpoint returns it for any request.
  • Failed = free. A failed generation, or a job you cancel before it starts, is refunded in full automatically.
  • Same price everywhere. The Studio (no code), the API and MCP cost the same; audio and resolution are the only things that change the per-second rate.
  • Below the official price. Up to 25% less, for the same official model.

No. CheaperGen is prepaid and pay-as-you-go: add credits with a card, spend them on MiniMax H3 Max or any other model, in the Studio (no code) or through the API. If you generate every month, optional monthly plans add credits automatically, and Pro and Max also lower the price.

They cost the same. The Studio, the API and MCP use one balance and one price list; the exact price is on the Generate button before you run, and the API's free quote endpoint returns it for any request.

It's the same official MiniMax H3 Max model. Direct partnerships with model labs, our own GPU inference for open-source models and automatic routing to the most cost-effective healthy channel lower what serving costs, and most of that saving is passed on.
