EDITORIAL VIEW

Editor's Verdict

H3 Max is the higher-standard-price option between Turbo and base H3 at the supplied 480P and 768P tiers.

The official description is not enough to rank quality or responsiveness, so those judgments remain open.

How It Works

  • Use the text endpoint for prompt-only clips or the image endpoint to animate an opening image, optionally with an ending image.

What We Like

  • Prompt-only and image-conditioned flows are documented.
  • The image endpoint supports an optional ending image.
  • Per-output-second pricing is easy to model.

Current Limitations

  • Video Runtime has not measured latency, quality, or failure rate.
  • Provider example timing is not a service guarantee.
  • Promotional rates should not anchor long-term budgets.

Pricing & Access

  • Standard supplied rates are $0.05 per output second at 480P and $0.08 at 768P for text and image endpoints.

Verification Summary

  • This record uses dated fal references and supplied baseline prices, not a live quote. Confirm current endpoint pricing before spending; some historical tiers need re-verification.
  • Video Runtime has not run a hands-on benchmark. Provider sample timings are not site end-to-end results; source review is not purchase-price verification.
