Hailuo review

Hailuo is MiniMax's own app for its video models, and it now runs MiniMax H3, the model that Pika, Luma and others also offer inside their credit plans. The create screen accepts up to 12 reference images through Omni Reference, outputs up to 2K and offers wide aspect ratios such as 21:9. Hailuo Agent guides you through a project, and a gallery of trending templates covers effects such as pet, baby and style-switch clips. Image and audio tools sit in the same account, and new users receive free credits after signing up. Paid plans start from $9.99 a month. The weakness is documentation: the public site shows the starting price but not a full plan table, credit counts or a stated maximum clip length on the pages we reviewed, so it is harder to work out a price per second than with Runway, Pika or Vidu. Try the free credits before paying.
