Estimate the number, duration, and resolution of clips before choosing a pack.
Output is charged per second. Most inputs are free, while reference video can add cost.
2K costs 4 credits per second. 768P costs 2 credits per second.
Prompts and audio references are free. Up to five reference images are free.
Video reference cost depends on duration and the output resolution.
Failed or rejected generations are refunded automatically.
A 10-second 2K clip with seven reference images and one 4-second reference video uses credits for output, extra images, and reference video duration.
What happens between selecting a credit pack and seeing the credits in your account.
All listed prices are USD. Applicable taxes, if any, are calculated and shown during PayPal checkout before payment.
Paid packs open a PayPal-hosted checkout session. MiniMaxm does not collect your PayPal password or full payment-card details.
Credits are added after the payment provider confirms a successful payment. Refresh your account balance if the confirmation page is still processing.
A cancelled or failed checkout does not add credits. If your payment account shows a charge but credits are missing, contact support with the transaction ID.
Credits used by a failed or rejected generation are returned automatically to the account balance.
Refund eligibility for completed credit purchases follows the Terms. Contact support before opening a payment dispute so the transaction can be investigated.
Read the Terms of Service or email support@minimaxm.com for payment help.
20 credits on signup, enough for one 5-second 2K clip on the full model.
Every new account receives 20 MiniMax H3 credits with no card required.
The free generation uses the same model as a paid pack so you can test motion, framing, and sound.
After the free clip, Starter begins at $9.90 for 99 credits with no subscription.
For most teams, deployment access and hardware decide the question before price does.
Self-hosting requires reviewing the current model license and regional deployment restrictions.
A large multimodal video model also requires substantial GPU capacity before the first render.
Credit packs have no idle hardware cost and can be used whenever the project needs them.
Choose a small pack for testing or a larger pack when production volume is predictable.
