Honest sourcing - what to watch for
MiniMax's own pricing documentation (platform.minimax.io) is split across multiple linked sub-pages without a single consolidated per-second table visible without an authenticated deep link. The per-clip figures above are corroborated by a secondary aggregator (Atlas Cloud) that presents them as MiniMax's official PAYG rates; we could not independently confirm the raw rate card ourselves before publishing, so treat these as reliable-but-secondary rather than a first-party quote.
Audio: MiniMax's platform docs do not clearly disclose whether Hailuo 2.3 API output bundles native audio or not - not stated on the pages we could access. Treat as unconfirmed rather than assuming either way.
