Quick answer
What is a good Hailuo AI alternative?
A good Hailuo AI alternative is Kenerate AI: it runs MiniMax's own MiniMax H3, H3 Pro (up to 2K), Hailuo 2.3 Pro and Hailuo 02, so you keep the Hailuo look, and adds Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, Wan 3, Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 Pro — 57 video models in all, with clips up to 30 seconds and 4K on some of them. You pay per second from one-time credit packs (from $15) that never expire. Hailuo is still the better pick if you want H3 Max or Hailuo 2.3 Fast, which Kenerate doesn't run, or unlimited Hailuo 01/02 on its top plans (checked 26 October 2026).

Tips
Moving your Hailuo work
What carries over and what doesn't.
Download your clips and start frames; reuse the frames as start images.
Prompts carry over on MiniMax H3 and Hailuo 2.3 Pro — same models, same prompt style.
H3 Max and Hailuo 2.3 Fast aren't on Kenerate: use MiniMax H3 at 480p for cheap drafts instead.
Hailuo templates and agent flows don't carry over — describe the motion in your prompt.
Draft at 480p or 768p, then render the keeper at 2K on H3 Pro or upscale it.
Real people need their permission.
FAQ
Hailuo AI Alternative questions
9 questions
What is the best Hailuo AI alternative?
If you like the Hailuo look but want more than one model maker, Kenerate AI runs MiniMax H3, H3 Pro, Hailuo 2.3 Pro and Hailuo 02 alongside Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, Wan 3, Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 Pro — 57 video models on one-time credits that never expire. Hailuo itself stays the better pick for H3 Max, Hailuo 2.3 Fast or unlimited Hailuo 01/02.
Link to this answerDoes Kenerate have the same models as Hailuo?
Most of them. Kenerate runs MiniMax H3, MiniMax H3 Pro (768p or 2K), Hailuo 2.3 Pro, Hailuo 02 Pro and Hailuo 02 Standard. It doesn't run H3 Max, Hailuo 2.3 Fast or Hailuo 01, which you only get in MiniMax's own app.
Link to this answerHow much does Hailuo AI cost?
On 26 October 2026 hailuoai.video listed five monthly plans: Standard $14.99 (limited-time $7.99) with 1,000 credits, Pro $54.99 ($24.99) with 4,500, Master $94.99 ($63.99) with 10,000, Ultra $124.99 with 12,000, and Max $199.99 with 20,000. Credits bought on their own expire after one year.
Link to this answerHow much does MiniMax H3 cost on Kenerate?
MiniMax H3 costs 10 credits a second at 480p and 20 at 768p; H3 Pro costs 30 credits a second at 768p and 42 at 2K. A 5-second H3 Pro clip at 768p is 150 credits, so a $15 pack of 1,300 credits covers about eight of them. Hailuo 2.3 Pro is 147 credits per 6-second clip.
Link to this answerIs there a free Hailuo alternative?
Not for video on Kenerate: video models need a one-time credit pack, from $15. A new account gets 25 free credits for images, which you can use to make start frames. Hailuo gives new users bonus credits, but downloads without a paid plan carry its watermark.
Link to this answerDo Kenerate clips have a watermark?
No. Kenerate exports have no watermark. On Hailuo, watermark-free downloads come with a paid plan; buying credits alone doesn't remove the watermark, according to its subscribe page.
Link to this answerCan I make longer or 4K clips than on Hailuo?
On MiniMax's own models the limits are similar: up to 15 seconds, and 2K on H3 Pro. For longer clips switch model: Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3 make up to 30 seconds, and Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0 render up to 4K.
Link to this answerDo Kenerate credits expire?
No. Kenerate sells one-time credit packs and the credits never expire. On Hailuo, monthly plans come with a monthly credit allowance, and credits you buy separately expire after one year.
Link to this answerWhat are some other sites like Hailuo AI?
Kling AI (Kuaishou), Google Veo, Sora, Runway and multi-model studios such as Kenerate, Pollo AI and Higgsfield. Check which model versions each one really runs and whether its credits expire.

Hailuo AI vs Kenerate, in depth
How we compared, and what matters when you choose.
On this page
Same MiniMax models, different packaging
Hailuo AI is MiniMax's own consumer app; Kenerate runs MiniMax's video models inside a multi-model studio, alongside other makers' models. On a given model, the clip quality is the model's, not the site's — what differs is which versions each one carries and how you pay.
Hailuo bundles monthly credits into five plans, with unlimited Hailuo 01 / 02 on the two biggest. Kenerate charges per second or per clip from one-time packs, so a quiet month costs nothing and unused credits stay.
What you give up by switching
Be honest about the trade:
- No H3 Max, Hailuo 2.3 Fast or Hailuo 01.
- No unlimited plan — every clip is paid.
- No Hailuo templates or Hailuo Agent.
- No free video: Kenerate's starter credits are for images.
What you gain
Other model families on the same start frame (Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, Wan 3, Veo 3.1, Sora 2 Pro), clips up to 30 seconds and 4K on some of them, 80+ image models for start frames, credits that never expire, and finishing tools in the same account: a video extender, auto subtitles, dubbing and video upscaling.
Hailuo AI pricing
Five monthly plans from Standard ($14.99, limited-time $7.99, 1,000 credits) to Max ($199.99, 20,000 credits), per hailuoai.video/subscribe on 26 October 2026. Hailuo 2.3 costs 25 credits for 6 s at 768p and 80 for 6 s at 1080p in its app.
Hailuo AI watermark
Paid plans download without a watermark. Buying credits alone doesn't remove it, and Hailuo's terms say you must not remove labels or watermarks it adds.
MiniMax H3 online
MiniMax H3 is live in the Hailuo app and in MiniMax's API. On Kenerate it runs as MiniMax H3 (480p / 768p) and MiniMax H3 Pro (768p / 2K).
Sites like Hailuo AI
Kling AI, Veo, Sora, Runway and multi-model studios such as Kenerate, Pollo AI and Higgsfield. Compare model versions, clip length and whether credits expire.
