Honest sourcing - what to watch for
This is the messiest price sheet on this page and a real-world example of why this calculator exists: we could not pin down a single official rate directly from Alibaba Cloud's own Model Studio console in time. Third-party aggregators citing Alibaba's global rate land near $0.086-0.15/sec depending on resolution; independent API resellers (PiAPI, EvoLink, Atlas Cloud) advertise lower pass-through rates around $0.07-0.09/sec for the same models. We show both ends of the range rather than picking one - confirm the current rate in your own DashScope/Model Studio console before budgeting.
Audio: Wan 2.5 and 2.6 generate synchronized audio-video output natively, including phoneme-level lip sync, multi-voice dialogue and background music - not a bolt-on.
Max clip length: Wan 2.5 base generation is 10s; Wan 2.6 extends narrative coherence up to 15s.
