Sora is retired. Here is what the free tiers of Wan, Hailuo, Kling, Pixverse and Luma really give you — resolution caps, watermarks, licences and the workflow that stretches them furthest.

Hailuo AI sells credits, not minutes — and the same credit buys wildly different amounts of video depending on your settings. Here is the tier ladder, the no-rollover trap, and how to compare cost per second properly.

MiniMax's Hailuo wins on motion realism, not identity. The model line decoded, real cost per clip at about $0.30, and the shots worth sending it.
