API Access & Pricing
Chinese video models such as Seedance and MiniMax Hailuo behind one low-friction door: USD pricing, small minimum top-up, OpenAI-compatible format. Here are the rules before the service opens.
How billing works
Priced in USD
Every rate is in US dollars, settled on actual usage. No monthly fee, no subscription.
$5 minimum top-up
Prepaid balance, $5 minimum. Run a small test first and top up only when you need more.
Pay per use
Video is billed by generated seconds or per clip, text by tokens. Every call shows its charge in the console.
OpenAI-compatible
Keep your existing SDK and code; change only base_url and the key. No per-model API to learn.
Models and rates
| Model | Type | Billing unit | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 / 2.0 mini | Video generation | Per second (varies with resolution and length) | Being verified |
| MiniMax Hailuo (H3) | Video generation | Per clip (by resolution and length tier) | Being verified |
| MiniMax M series | Text | Per million tokens (input / output) | Being verified |
Rates are the upstream list price plus a fixed multiplier. Exact figures are published before launch and re-checked against upstream every month. The H3 prompt library on this site runs directly on the video models above.
How to get access

FAQ
When does it launch?
We are still verifying upstream pricing and onboarding a payment provider, so there is no fixed date. Everyone on the waitlist is notified the day access opens.
How do I pay?
Cards and major online payment methods through a payment platform; crypto as a fallback. First-batch users get the details by email.
Why not go to the official platforms directly?
Direct access is cheapest, but overseas individual developers often hit sign-up, verification and minimum-deposit hurdles, and every vendor has its own API format. We offer one door: small top-ups, a standard format, one key for several models.
Can I use the prompt library without the API?
Absolutely. The prompt library, knowledge entries and machine-readable endpoints are free; the licence is in the footer.
