Alibaba's video model (its official site, wan.video, says it is powered by Alibaba Cloud). Pika's official pricing page lists it at 33 credits per 5-second clip at 720p, about a quarter of Seedance 2.5's rate in the same table.

Does the cheapest way to pay change with volume?

One line per channel: an API is a straight line; a subscription is the cheapest plan that covers the month, so it climbs in steps and stops past the largest plan (extra credit packs are not counted).

💡 Takeaway: Across all calculated ranges, Replicate · API is the cheapest option.

Rates come from Pika's official pricing page; seconds are the plan's credits divided by the rate. That is the ceiling if you do nothing else — credits also go to images, voice, upscaling and more, so the real total is lower. Where a model has several rows, the vendor prices clip lengths separately — the per-second rates really differ; it is not a typo. Models without an exact official rate we could find are left out; we don't estimate for them.

This model is included in plans on Krea, Magnific, but we found no exact official rate for it there, so no durations are listed — we don't estimate on a vendor's behalf.

How the status is checked

Whether a model still runs is checked separately from prices: prices change monthly, but a model can disappear between two price syncs, quietly making every page that mentions it wrong. So each model record has its own confirmation date and review deadline; overdue records are flagged, never assumed to still be running.

Last confirmed on Sep 18, 2026; due to be rechecked by Oct 18, 2026.
