> Hailuo Web (MiniMax)
Hailuo AI is MiniMax's browser-based video and image generator, currently centred on the MiniMax H3 family. The generator form exposes 2K output, 5-second clips, an Omni Reference field accepting up to 12 reference images and a 21:9 aspect ratio option. Official pages state that new users receive free credits on sign-up, and a homepage banner advertises 3,000 free credits for downloading the companion MiniMax Design app; Hailuo also runs a survey task that awards credits. No per-credit or per-second price list was retrievable from the official pages.
Open hailuo.ai, log in, then open DevTools → Application → Local Storage → copy the "_token" value. device_id/uuid fingerprint fields are derived automatically; if requests fail, re-capture _token (sessions can expire).
// pros
- Sign-up is free and does not require a card: the official sign-up block states 'New users receive free credits and unlock AI video creation'.
- The homepage banner states a concrete promotional grant - 'Download MiniMax Design and Get 3,000 Free Credits to Start Creating'.
- The H3 form accepts up to 12 reference images (Refs 0/12) with an Omni Reference mode, which is a high reference budget for a consumer video tool.
- 2K output and 5-second clips are selectable options in the same generation form, alongside 21:9 framing.
- Credits can also be earned without paying (Take the Survey, Earn Credits), and the site ships free template tools such as the ad generator.
// cons
- No official price list is fetchable: hailuoai.video/pricing returns the homepage with no credit or per-second rates, so production cost cannot be planned from the site.
- The advertised free grant is promotional and inconsistent across pages - 3,000 credits tied to a companion app download versus a generic 'free credits' signup claim - so the amount depends on the current campaign.
- Credit expiry, watermarking and commercial-use rights are not stated on any fetched official page.
- The service is JS-rendered and MiniMax-operated, so terms of service and data-processing details are not verifiable from static official pages; treat it as an evaluation surface rather than a costed API.
Treat Hailuo as a free-tier evaluation tool for short 2K clips with heavy reference-image conditioning, and use it to test prompts before committing budget elsewhere. Because no official rates are published, keep any production dependency on it provisional until a price list and written commercial-use terms appear.

Free tier present — value not quantified
This provider offers a free tier, but its terms don’t convert cleanly into a USD figure (e.g. request-count limits or capacity-dependent pools). We refuse to print a misleading zero here. See the note below and the official pricing page for the exact limits.
note: Official homepage states new users receive free credits and a banner advertises 3,000 free credits with the MiniMax Design download, but no USD value or per-credit rate is published, so no dollar figure is set (checked 2026-09-16).

$ Is Hailuo Web (MiniMax) safe to use?
Uprouter rates Hailuo Web (MiniMax) as medium risk. High relative to the other entries. The fetched official pages publish no price list, no credit expiry rules and no commercial-use statement, only promotional credit grants that change between campaigns. Stability and terms of service are therefore unverifiable from official sources, and the free allowance is a marketing offer rather than a documented tier, so cost and rights are both open questions. Risk ratings are editorial, evidence-based, and never influenced by affiliate relationships.
Raw community sentiment, shown unblended. Votes never feed into objective data fields like price, risk, or status — and never into sort order.
