Hailuo AI's cheapest paid plan is Standard at $10.50 a month billed monthly, or $8.40 a month billed yearly.

Before you pay
- The plan cards show discounts from list prices with no end date (Standard $10.50 a month against $14.99, Pro $38 against $54.99, Master $89 against $119.99), while the page's own FAQ and Hailuo's subscription terms, last updated July 14, 2025, still list older prices and credits, such as Max at $199.99 with 20,000 credits. The site header said "From $9.99/mo", which matched no plan card on October 14.
- Unlimited image generation (Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2, Seedream and GPT Image 1.5) comes only with yearly Pro, Master and Max; the monthly plan cards list no image allowance.
- Plan credits last one month and do not roll over, and upgrading turns what is left into purchased credits. Subscriptions are not refunded: cancelling only stops the next renewal. Credits come back for failed generations and for content that fails review. Cybernews noted many user complaints about billing, credits and support, including charges before a free trial had ended.
- Free downloads carry a watermark; Hailuo's terms give you commercial rights to content made on a paid plan.
- The terms of service give the operator, Nanonoble Pte. Ltd. of Singapore, and its affiliates a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable licence to use, license, modify, distribute and earn money from your uploads and generated content.
- Disney, Universal and Warner Bros. are suing the two companies behind Hailuo, saying it reproduces their characters and was trained on their works; on May 22, 2026 a federal court in California refused to dismiss the case.
- MiniMax sells H3 in several places: Hailuo's plans (the pricing page counts $0.047 to $0.074 a second at 768p), its API ($0.08 a second at 768p) and a separate MiniMax Design app, which Hailuo's own banner promotes with 3,000 free credits for new users. Hailuo's H3 page still cites the July 31 rankings (2nd on text-to-video with audio); on October 14 the board, now version 2.1, had H3 at 768p 4th.
