What Is MiniMax H3 API Pricing per Second?

Overview

MiniMax H3 API pricing should be treated as provider- and platform-specific, not as one universal official per-second price. MiniMax?s official materials describe H3?s price-performance and 768p/2K options, while individual platforms may expose different billing units, duration limits, resolution tiers, or package rules. Source note: Verified 2026-08-06 against the MiniMax official H3 blog, MiniMax Video Generation API docs, and Hugging Face MiniMax-H3 model page.

For cost planning, calculate accepted output seconds by provider route: duration, resolution, retries, failed jobs, regeneration, storage, and any minimum charge all matter. A 15-second clip can cost materially more than a 5-second test, so teams should benchmark short prompts first, then compare WaveSpeedAI or other provider pricing against their actual production acceptance rate.
