Output rates exclude reference inputs, taxes and credit-purchase fees. Fast, Max, Turbo and open-weight deployments can produce different results.

Coverage and rates still being verified

Public API pricing reviewed on 2026-09-13. Confirmed rates appear above; unconfirmed rates remain visible. This is a broad provider survey, not a guarantee that every reseller is listed.

WaveSpeedAI — All 12 listed H3 video endpoints are represented, including LoRA, Spicy, editing and extension. The four H3 image-generation/editing endpoints are outside this video comparison. Undated promotions are not assumed. Source ↗

Atlas Cloud — Text routes were verified with live quotes across available tiers. Image/reference rates remain unconfirmed where a separate quote is needed. Fast image/reference routes are listed by the provider; no text-route price is assumed for them. Source ↗

Segmind — Text, image and reference output rates were separately verified from rendered duration tables. Reference-input charges are outside those output-only tables. Source ↗

MiniMax / EmpirioLabs — 2K regeneration is an additional operation: MiniMax $0.05/output second; EmpirioLabs $0.10. It requires an existing 768p result and is not a fresh generation. Context-IR prompt expansion is also separate. Source ↗

CometAPI / OneInfer / Kie — H3 mentions or editorial pages found, but no independently verified configuration-specific H3 API rate. No price is inferred from a competitor’s rate. Source ↗

Novita / EachLabs / SiliconFlow — No sufficiently clear H3-specific public rate verified in this research pass. Older Hailuo 02/2.3 prices are excluded.

Methodology

Comparable prices, different models

Each row is a provider, H3 variant, resolution and workflow combination. Text and image routes are grouped only when shared pricing is established. H3 Fast, H3 Max, Max Turbo and third-party speed tiers are not interchangeable quality benchmarks. Resolution labels are provider labels; higher resolutions can involve enhancement.

Rates and sorting

Prices are USD per generated output second, sorted lowest first by default. Lowest in view highlights the lowest confirmed rate in the current filters, including ties. Unconfirmed prices appear last and indicative rates are not highlighted. This compares output rates only; variants, quality, duration rounding and input fees can differ. Read each row for its billing terms.

Promotions and uncertain prices

Only a dated promotion with a resolution-specific rate is applied automatically. fal Max and Max Turbo text/image rates switch to list at 00:00 UTC on 15 September 2026; fal’s page gives a date but no timezone. Undated WaveSpeed and Atlas Cloud promotions are not applied; their published list prices are used. Unknown rates never count as free. Conflicting source rates are marked indicative.

Scope

API pay-as-you-go output pricing in USD. Excludes subscriptions, negotiated volume discounts, initial credits, free playground runs, reference-input surcharges, taxes, currency conversion, wallet top-up fees, storage, retries, prompt expansion and regeneration. Cost per usable take also depends on quality and success rate, which this table does not measure.

Sources

Sources are provider-owned rate cards, model pages and documentation, checked on 2026-09-13. These are a manually reviewed snapshot, not live billing quotes. Source links and detailed caveats are available for every row. There are no affiliate links or paid placements.

Coverage

Open the coverage section below the table for additional routes, missing prices and providers checked. Hailuo 02 and 2.3 prices are excluded because they are different models.
