Choose a billing option based on the models you use, how much you expect to use them, and for how long. ### Compare Billing Options | Feature | Pay-as-you-go | Subscriptions and Packages | | - | - | - | | Use cases | Use any MiniMax model or tool and pay for what you use, with the flexibility to support a wide range of business needs and API workloads. | For speech or video workloads where you expect to use the included points during the subscription term or before the package expires. | | How you pay | Add funds to your account and pay for what you use | Purchase an Audio Subscription or a prepaid Video Package | | Coverage | All MiniMax models and tools | All speech models; Hailuo video models | | Billing units | Varies by model, configuration, and type of usage | Audio points per month; video points | | Get started | [Recharge Now](https://platform.minimax.io/user-center/payment/balance) | [View Audio Subscription](#packages/speech) · [View Video Packages](#packages/video) | ### Before You Buy Check the supported models, included points, and how long the subscription or package lasts. Audio Subscription plans support all speech models. Video Packages support Hailuo video models; MiniMax H3 is not yet supported. [View Audio Subscription](#packages/speech) · [View Video Packages](#packages/video) · [View Usage Rules](#guides/packages) ## Pay-as-you-go Billing With pay-as-you-go billing, you use standard Open Platform API keys and pay from your account balance based on usage. All prices are in USD. ### How Billing Works * **Payment:** API usage charges are deducted from your account balance. * **Billing units:** Depending on the service, charges are based on tokens, characters, duration, images, voices, or requests. See the relevant pricing table for the exact unit. * **Rates:** Rates vary by model, API, and configuration. For example, LLM input length and service tier, or video output resolution, can affect pricing. ### How Charges Are Calculated > [!NOTE] > > For each billing item, multiply actual usage by the applicable unit price. First, convert usage to the unit listed in the pricing table. For example, if a price is listed per million tokens, divide the token count by 1,000,000 before multiplying by the price. If a request includes multiple billing items, add their costs together. See Model Pricing and Tool Pricing for individual rates. Audio Subscription plans and Video Packages are also available for supported models. To compare these options, see [Payment Methods](#guides/compare). ## Package Usage Rules Audio Subscription plans and Video Packages include points for use with supported models and APIs. Before purchasing, check which models are supported, how many points are included, and how long the subscription or package lasts. ### Coverage | Feature | Audio Subscription | Video Packages | | - | - | - | | Supported models | All speech models | Hailuo video models; MiniMax H3 is not supported yet | | Supported APIs | T2A v2 and T2A large v2 | Video Generation API | | Included points | Audio points per month | Video points | | Subscription term / package validity | Monthly, 3-month (10% off), or annual (20% off) subscriptions | The four standard packages are valid for 1 month | | Plan details | [Audio Subscription](#packages/speech) | [Video Packages](#packages/video) | ### How Points Are Used * **Audio points:** Starter, Standard, Pro, Scale, and Business each include a monthly allowance of audio points. The allowance varies by plan. See the [Audio Subscription table](#packages/speech) for included points, voice slots, and rate limits. * **Video points:** Points used depend on the model, resolution, and video duration. One point does not equal one video. See the [video point deduction rules](#packages/video/package-rules). * **Failed video tasks:** No points are deducted when video generation fails or a video triggers a security review. ### Expiration and Usage Limits Unused video points expire with the package and do not roll over. Your video point balance resets to zero when the package expires. For Audio Subscription plans, see the subscription table for available terms, monthly audio points, and plan features. Rate limits and other included features are listed in the relevant pricing tables. ## FAQ Find answers to common questions about pay-as-you-go billing, Audio Subscription plans, and Video Packages. See the relevant pricing tables for exact prices and included features. ### Billing and Usage > **What’s the difference between the Standard and Priority service tiers for MiniMax-M3?** > > Priority gives your requests priority access for faster responses and improved reliability. It costs 1.5 times the Standard rate. To enable it, set `service_tier` to `priority`. See the LLM pricing tables for the rates that apply to each input length. > **Does video output pricing include charges for input media?** > > H3 video output and input media are billed separately. Images beyond the free allowance incur an additional charge. Input video is billed based on its duration and the output resolution. If you regenerate a video, the input media from the original task is billed again. See the video pricing tables for the applicable rates. > **How do I add funds to my account?** > > Visit the [Recharge page](https://platform.minimax.io/user-center/payment/balance) to add funds to your account for pay-as-you-go API usage. > **Which models can I use with subscriptions and packages?** > > You can use Audio Subscription plans with all speech models via the T2A v2 and T2A large v2 APIs. Video Packages support Hailuo video models, but do not currently support MiniMax H3. Before you buy, check the supported models, included points, and plan duration. For details, see [Package Usage Rules](#guides/packages). > **What happens to unused video points when my package expires?** > > Any unused video points expire when your package ends, and your video point balance resets to zero. Each of the four standard video packages is valid for one month.
