Reference video seconds are billed together with the output, at this rate. Example: 5 seconds of output with a 5-second reference is 10 billed seconds.

|---|---|---|---|
| 768P | $0.08/s | $0.057/s | $0.57 |
| 2K | $0.13/s | $0.1068/s | $1.07 |
- Unit. One second of generated video. A request for 5–15 s is billed for exactly that many seconds at its resolution's rate.
- Reference videos. Their seconds are billed together with the output, at the reference rate (from $0.057/s at 768P).
- Tasks. Text to video, image to video and reference to video share the same per-second rates.
- No request fee. Nothing is added per request: a clip costs its seconds times the rate.
- Failed = free. Failed generations, and jobs cancelled while queued, are refunded in full.
- Price first. POST /v1/quote/minimax/h3/text-to-video returns the exact price of any request, free.
