What one video actually costs
Credits map directly to render cost — there is no separate per-seat or per-export charge. A typical MiniMax H3 clip at 5 seconds costs 40 credits. Longer clips and higher resolutions cost proportionally more, and every failed job is refunded automatically.
| Model | Length | Credits |
|---|
| MiniMax H3 | 5s | 40 |
| MiniMax H3 | 10s | 79 |
| Seedance 1.5 Pro | 5s | 9 |
| Seedance 2.0 | 5s | 29 |
Credits are consumed oldest-first and unused credits roll over while your plan stays active. Failed generations are refunded in full.
Credits vs paying the API directly
MiniMax bills its video API per second of output, which means you also handle key management, polling, storage and retries yourself. TryH3 bundles the render, the hosted MP4, the retry logic and the refund-on-failure behaviour into one credit price, and every plan gets access to every model rather than one at a time.
Pricing questions
- Do unused credits expire?
- Unused credits roll over while your subscription stays active. If you cancel, credits remain usable until the end of the current billing period.
- What happens if a generation fails?
- Credits for failed jobs are refunded automatically. You are only charged for videos that render successfully.
- Can I use the videos commercially?
- Videos generated on a paid subscription are yours to use in advertising, client work and monetized content. Free welcome-credit renders are for evaluation only.
- Does one plan cover every model?
- Yes. A single subscription unlocks every video model available on TryH3, including MiniMax H3. Credit cost varies per model and per clip length.
