MiniMax H3 renders 5 to 15 seconds at 2K with native synced audio always on. Hailuo 2.3 renders 6 or 10 seconds at 768p and 1080p and generates no audio. H3 costs 320 credits for 8 seconds, and Hailuo 2.3 costs 200 credits per video whatever the length.

That split decides most briefs. If a person needs to speak in the clip, H3 handles the voice. If the clip is product motion or character expression that you plan to score and caption yourself, Hailuo 2.3 is the lower-cost option.

## Side by side

| | MiniMax H3 | Hailuo 2.3 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Typical render | 320 credits (8 seconds, 9:16, 2K, native audio on) | 200 credits (6 seconds, 16:9, 768p, no native audio) |
| Credit rate | 40 credits per second | Flat per video |
| Clip lengths | 5 to 15 seconds | 6 or 10 seconds |
| Resolutions | 2K | 768p, 1080p |
| Native audio | Yes | No |
| Text-to-video | Yes | Yes |
| Image-to-video | Yes | Yes |
| Reference inputs | Mixed reference images, videos and audio, plus first and last frame | First-frame image for image-to-video starts |
| Prompt limit | 2,000 characters | 2,000 characters |
| Best fit | talking-creator ads with native synced dialogue and a face or voice you want to keep consistent | expressive character motion and product movement where you add the voiceover yourself |

## When to pick MiniMax H3

Pick MiniMax H3 for talking-creator ads. Dialogue, effects and room tone arrive with the picture, and mixed reference images, videos and audio help you hold a face or voice across clips.

For quick tests, MiniMax H3 Max Turbo renders 8 seconds for 200 credits using first and last frames only.

## When to pick Hailuo 2.3

Pick Hailuo 2.3 when the voiceover comes later. At 200 credits flat, the 10 second clip costs the same as the 6 second one, so use the longer clip whenever the scene can fill it.

It suits product movement, fashion walks and expressive character moments, where you want clean visuals to build an edit around.

## Using both

A practical workflow is to script on MiniMax H3 Max Turbo, then render silent b-roll cutaways on Hailuo 2.3 to intercut with the talking clips once the visual beats are right.
