Frequently asked questions
How much does MiniMax H3 Max cost per second?
At fal list price, MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is $0.04 per generated second at 768P and $0.025 at 480P. The standard MiniMax H3 Max endpoint is $0.08 and $0.05. Until September 7, 2026 a launch promotion takes 75% off all four.
What does a 5-second clip cost?
Upstream, $0.20 on Turbo at 768P at list price, or $0.05 during the promotion. On this site that render is charged in credits — the calculator above converts both ways.
Why is the price here not four times cheaper during the promotion?
Because the promotion ends and the underlying cost goes back up by 4×. Our prices are set from the regular rates so they stay put on September 7. What the promotion buys is a wider free tier while it lasts, not a lower price that has to be walked back.
Is this cheaper than Seedance or Kling?
For short clips with audio, yes, by a wide margin — the comparison table above works it out for the exact length you pick. Those models still win on other axes: Seedance 2.5 runs up to 30 seconds, and MiniMax H3 renders at 2K.
Upstream prices come from fal’s public model pages, last checked 2026-09-03: MiniMax H3 Max and MiniMax H3 Max Turbo, Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3 and Kling Video v3. Credit conversions use this site’s own catalogue, where one credit stands for $0.01 of upstream cost. Prices change; check the source pages before making a decision that depends on them.
