  MiniMax offers two purchasing paths. Consumer Hailuo AI plans (hailuoai.video)
  are monthly subscriptions from a free tier up to about $199.99/month, granting a
  monthly pool of credits (roughly 1,000 to 20,000) that generate videos. The
  developer platform (platform.minimax.io) is separate and is billed on a
  pay-as-you-go basis: video generation is metered in "video points" per clip
  (varying by model, resolution, and duration), and text/audio APIs are metered
  per token / per character. Failed generations or clips blocked by security
  review are not charged.
notes: >-
  Video-point costs below are grounded in MiniMax's published video pricing but
  can change; verify current rates at platform.minimax.io/docs/guides/pricing-video.
  Per-clip API cost has been reported in the roughly $0.19-$0.56 range depending
  on model/resolution/duration. Token and per-character rates for chat and TTS are
  not reconciled here.
