Wan or Hailuo?
On a small budget, is the clip about a thing or about a face?
The short answer
Alibaba
Wan
Wan for things: products, rooms and places animated from your own still, kept as they are while the light and the camera move.
Freedom to make it
Open weights mean fewer surprise refusals on ordinary creative work.
Made for many takes
Fast and affordable enough to try ten versions and keep the best.
Stills to motion
Brings illustrations and photos to life without redrawing them.
MiniMax
Hailuo
Hailuo for faces: an expression that reads at phone size and a dramatic camera move, at a price that still lets you make a second attempt.
Emotion on the face
Tears, grins and double-takes that read at phone size.
Director's camera
Whip pans, orbits and zooms named in plain words.
Anime and stylised
Clean line work and colour that stays put while moving.
The next question
Either way the price is quoted before the render runs, and a render that fails is never charged for. If you would rather not choose, the studio picks for you on every ordinary render — this page is for when you would.
