How Much Does Hailuo 2.3 Cost? Real Per-Clip Pricing on FlyAIgh (2026)

Published July 14, 20267 min read

Hailuo 2.3 is billed per video, not per second — so the real cost is simpler than most models. Here are the exact per-clip credits and dollars for Hailuo 2.3 and Hailuo 2.3 Fast at 768p and 1080p, all on one shared $11.99 credit wallet.

If you only want the number: on FlyAIgh's Basic plan ($11.99/month, 400 credits) a default Hailuo 2.3 clip — 6 seconds at 768p — costs 18 credits, about $0.54. The cheaper Hailuo 2.3 Fast drops that to 11 credits, about $0.33. Everything else on this page is the precise breakdown by resolution and duration, and why those numbers are simpler than for most AI video models.

The thing that trips people up when pricing Hailuo 2.3 is that it is billed per video, not per second. Most models charge a per-second rate times your clip length; Hailuo charges a flat figure per clip length and then scales it by resolution. That makes the cost easier to predict — there's no partial-second arithmetic — but it also means the usual "credits per second" mental model gives you the wrong answer. Let's get the real one.

The short answer

  • Hailuo 2.3, 6s · 768p (default) = 18 credits ≈ $0.54
  • Hailuo 2.3, 10s · 768p = 30 credits ≈ $0.90
  • Hailuo 2.3, 6s · 1080p (1.6× multiplier, 6s-only) = 28.8 credits ≈ $0.86
  • Hailuo 2.3 Fast, 6s · 768p = 11 credits ≈ $0.33
  • Hailuo 2.3 Fast, 10s · 768p = 18 credits ≈ $0.54
  • Hailuo 2.3 Fast, 6s · 1080p (1.6× multiplier, 6s-only) = 17.6 credits ≈ $0.53

All dollar figures use the Basic monthly rate of $0.030 per credit ($11.99 ÷ 400). On annual billing or a higher tier you pay less per credit, so these are the most expensive numbers you'll ever see — never the cheapest.

What a credit is worth

Hailuo's price in dollars depends entirely on what you paid per credit, and that falls as you move up the tier ladder:

  • Basic — $11.99/mo, 400 credits → ~$0.030 per credit (annual: $9.59/mo-equiv → ~$0.024)
  • Basic Plus — $19.99/mo, 720 credits → ~$0.0278 per credit (annual: $15.99 → ~$0.0222)
  • Basic Max — $31.99/mo, 1,200 credits → ~$0.0267 per credit (annual: $25.59 → ~$0.0213)
  • Pro — $47.99/mo, 2,000 credits → ~$0.0240 per credit (annual: $38.39 → ~$0.0192)
  • ULTRA — $79.99/mo, 3,600 credits → ~$0.0222 per credit (annual: $63.99 → ~$0.0178)
The credit cost of a Hailuo clip is fixed (18 credits for a 6s/768p clip everywhere); the dollar cost moves with your tier. The same 18-credit clip is about $0.54 on Basic monthly and roughly $0.32 on ULTRA annual. This guide quotes the Basic $0.030 rate throughout, so you can read every dollar figure as a ceiling.

Hailuo 2.3 per-clip price table

Both Hailuo variants default to 768p and a 6-second clip. 1080p adds a 1.6× multiplier and is locked to 6 seconds — there is no 10-second 1080p option. Dollar costs use the Basic rate of $0.030/credit.

Hailuo 2.3 (full model — text-to-video and image-to-video; flat per-video billing):

  • 6s · 768p (default) = 18 credits ≈ $0.54
  • 10s · 768p = 30 credits ≈ $0.90
  • 6s · 1080p (1.6× multiplier; 1080p is 6s-only) = 28.8 credits ≈ $0.86

Hailuo 2.3 Fast (image-to-video only; the cheaper variant):

  • 6s · 768p (default) = 11 credits ≈ $0.33
  • 10s · 768p = 18 credits ≈ $0.54
  • 6s · 1080p (1.6× multiplier; 1080p is 6s-only) = 17.6 credits ≈ $0.53
Note the quirk: a 10-second 768p full Hailuo clip (30 credits) costs more than a 6-second 1080p one (28.8 credits). Length and resolution both cost — decide which one your shot actually needs before you spend.

Why Hailuo bills per video, not per second

Most video models on FlyAIgh — Seedance, Kling, Sora, Grok — charge a per-second rate, so a clip's cost is rate × duration and scales smoothly with length. Hailuo 2.3 is different: it charges a flat amount per clip length. A 6-second clip is 18 credits and a 10-second clip is 30 credits, full stop. There's no "3 credits per second" you can multiply out — the per-second figure shown anywhere is only an internal fallback estimate, not how you're actually billed.

The resolution multiplier then scales that flat per-video number. 768p is 1.0×; 1080p is 1.6×. So a 6-second 1080p clip is 18 × 1.6 = 28.8 credits. That's the whole formula. Practically, it means Hailuo is one of the easiest models to budget for: pick a length, pick a resolution, read the number off the table.

How many clips you get for $11.99

400 credits divided by the per-clip cost (whole clips only):

  • Hailuo 2.3 6s/768p (18 cr) → 22 clips
  • Hailuo 2.3 10s/768p (30 cr) → 13 clips
  • Hailuo 2.3 6s/1080p (28.8 cr) → 13 clips
  • Hailuo 2.3 Fast 6s/768p (11 cr) → 36 clips
  • Hailuo 2.3 Fast 10s/768p (18 cr) → 22 clips
  • Hailuo 2.3 Fast 6s/1080p (17.6 cr) → 22 clips

Because the wallet is shared, you rarely spend a whole month on one model. A realistic mix might be a dozen Hailuo 2.3 Fast drafts to find the shot, then a couple of 1080p keepers on the full model — all out of the same 400 credits.

Hailuo 2.3 vs 2.3 Fast: when each is worth it

Hailuo 2.3 Fast is roughly 40% cheaper per clip than the full model (11 vs 18 credits at the default), which adds up fast across a project. The catch is that Fast is image-to-video only — it needs a starting frame and cannot generate from text alone.

  • Use Hailuo 2.3 Fast when you already have a hero image (a still you generated, a frame from a previous shot, an uploaded reference) and just need it animated. It's the cheapest path to a high Hailuo clip count.
  • Use the full Hailuo 2.3 when you're starting from text with no image, or when you specifically want text-to-video. It also recognises Hailuo's named camera commands in plain language, so it's the one to reach for when the shot is about a specific move.
A common cost-saving pattern: generate the hero still cheaply on an image model, then animate it on Hailuo 2.3 Fast at 11 credits — instead of paying 18 for a text-to-video generation that may not land the framing you wanted.

One wallet, every model

The reason the $11.99 figure matters is that it isn't a "Hailuo plan." It's one membership with one shared credit wallet that runs every model on the platform. The same 400 credits that buy 22 Hailuo clips also buy Seedance, Kling, Sora and Grok video, plus image models — see the full lineup on the models page, or the Hailuo family page for this model specifically.

  • No separate Hailuo subscription. No per-vendor monthly floor, no minimum spend before you can generate.
  • No model paywall by tier. Hailuo 2.3 runs on the $11.99 Basic plan exactly like it does on ULTRA — higher tiers only lower your per-credit price.
  • One shared library. Hailuo output lands in the same place as everything else you generate.

How to keep Hailuo costs down

  1. Default to 768p. 1080p costs 1.6× and is locked to 6 seconds. Draft and iterate at 768p; only re-run the keeper at 1080p if the shot genuinely ships in high res.
  2. Reach for Fast first. If you have a starting image, Hailuo 2.3 Fast (11 credits) is ~40% cheaper than the full model. Use it for every draft pass and save the full model for text-to-video.
  3. Mind the 10s-vs-1080p trade. A 10-second 768p clip (30 cr) costs more than a 6-second 1080p one (28.8 cr). Don't pay for length you won't use in the edit.
  4. Lock characters once, reuse everywhere. Build a reusable character so you're not burning Hailuo credits re-rolling for a consistent face — see our character consistency guide.
  5. Move up a tier only when volume justifies it. If you reliably spend 400 credits a month, Basic Plus or Pro lowers your per-credit price; if you don't, Basic keeps the floor tiny.
  6. Spread the wallet. Want the cheapest overall AI video, not just the cheapest Hailuo config? See the cheapest way to use Grok, Hailuo, Seedance & Kling on one membership.

The honest fine print

  • Hailuo is per-video, not per-second. The clip costs above are flat per length: 18/30 credits for 6s/10s on the full model, 11/18 on Fast. Any per-second number you see elsewhere is only an estimate.
  • 1080p is 1.6× and 6s-only. There is no 10-second 1080p Hailuo clip. For 10 seconds you generate at 768p (30 credits full / 18 Fast).
  • Hailuo 2.3 Fast is image-to-video only. It needs a starting frame; it can't do text-to-video. The full Hailuo 2.3 does both.
  • Hailuo uses the source image's aspect ratio. There's no separate ratio picker for image-to-video — output matches whatever you upload. Resolution (768p/1080p) is the only quality lever that changes price.
  • Per-credit price varies by tier. Every dollar figure here uses Basic monthly ($0.030/credit); annual and higher tiers are cheaper (down to ~$0.0178). We never quote a lower per-credit rate while saying "$11.99."
  • The free tier has 0 credits — it's for browsing, not generating. To actually run Hailuo, you start on Basic at $11.99.

That's the real cost of Hailuo 2.3: from 11 credits (~$0.33) a clip on Fast, 18 credits (~$0.54) at the full-model default, all drawn from one $11.99 wallet at roughly 3¢ a credit. Open the generator and the exact credit cost is shown before you commit a single credit.

FAQ

How much does Hailuo 2.3 cost on FlyAIgh?

Hailuo 2.3 is billed per video. At its default 768p resolution a 6-second clip costs 18 credits and a 10-second clip costs 30 credits. At 1080p (which is locked to 6 seconds) a clip costs 28.8 credits. On the Basic plan at $11.99/month for 400 credits — about $0.030 per credit — that works out to roughly $0.54 for a 6-second 768p clip, $0.90 for a 10-second 768p clip and $0.86 for a 6-second 1080p clip. Hailuo 2.3 Fast is cheaper still, from 11 credits (~$0.33) per 6-second 768p clip.

How many Hailuo 2.3 clips can I make for $11.99?

The $11.99 Basic plan gives you 400 credits per month into one shared wallet. Spent entirely on Hailuo 2.3 at its default 6-second 768p setting (18 credits) that's about 22 clips; at 10 seconds / 768p (30 credits) about 13 clips; at 6 seconds / 1080p (28.8 credits) about 13 clips. Switch to Hailuo 2.3 Fast at 6 seconds / 768p (11 credits) and the same 400 credits buys roughly 36 clips. You don't have to spend it all on Hailuo, though — the wallet is shared across every model.

Is Hailuo 2.3 cheaper here than buying it directly?

We won't quote competitor prices we can't verify for you, so here's the honest structural answer. On FlyAIgh, Hailuo 2.3 runs on the same single credit wallet as every other model — there is no separate Hailuo subscription, no per-vendor monthly floor, and no minimum spend before you can use it. You pay one membership fee ($11.99/month for 400 credits, about 3¢ per credit, dropping toward ~$0.0178 on the top annual tier) and Hailuo simply draws from that balance at a published per-clip rate. If you'd otherwise pay a standalone subscription just to access Hailuo, folding it into a wallet you're already using removes that extra floor.

Why does Hailuo 2.3 cost the same regardless of how I count seconds?

Because Hailuo 2.3 is billed per video, not per second. Unlike most video models on the platform — which charge a per-second rate times duration — Hailuo charges a flat figure for each clip length: 18 credits for a 6-second clip, 30 for a 10-second clip at 768p. The resolution multiplier (1.6× at 1080p) scales that flat per-video number, so 1080p × 6s = 28.8 credits. There's no partial-second math to reason about.

Does 1080p cost more on Hailuo 2.3, and is duration limited?

Yes on both counts. 1080p applies a 1.6× resolution multiplier, so a 6-second 768p clip (18 credits) becomes 28.8 credits at 1080p. And 1080p is locked to 6 seconds only — if you need a 10-second clip you generate it at 768p (30 credits). The 768p default is the cheapest sensible setting and is what most drafts should use.

What is the difference in cost between Hailuo 2.3 and Hailuo 2.3 Fast?

Hailuo 2.3 Fast is the cheaper, image-to-video-only variant. At 768p it costs 11 credits for a 6-second clip (about $0.33) and 18 credits for 10 seconds, versus 18 and 30 credits on the full Hailuo 2.3 — roughly 40% cheaper. The tradeoff: Fast only does image-to-video, so you need a starting image. The full Hailuo 2.3 supports both text-to-video and image-to-video. Pick Fast for volume when you already have a hero frame; pick the full model when you are starting from text.
