  "price": "Free tier is watermarked. Standard about $9.99/mo (1,000 credits), Pro $34.99-$54.99 (about 4,500), Unlimited about $94.99, Ultra about $124.99, Max about $199.99. API $0.19-$0.56 per video.",

  "what": "MiniMax's video generator, currently <b>Hailuo 2.3</b>, doing text-to-video and image-to-video up to 1080p with a Fast variant for drafting. Known for expressive character motion and stylised animation as well as live-action looks.",
  "why": "The best cost-per-clip in the category - roughly twenty to fifty cents a video through the API, a fraction of Veo or Runway. Unusually good at exaggerated anime-style character motion that photoreal-tuned rivals refuse to produce.",
  "warn": "'Unlimited' does not mean unlimited at top quality or on the newest model - high-tier output stays metered. Free-tier clips are watermarked, queue slowly, and carry <b>no commercial rights</b>.",
  "install": "API via the MiniMax platform and resellers including fal, Replicate and OpenRouter.",
