What Is Wan AI? Wan 3.0 Free Tier, Membership and API Pricing

The wan3.0-video prices are list prices, and the pricing page notes a limited-time 30% discount. New users get 30 seconds of free quota per model, valid for 90 days from Model Studio activation, model release or application approval, whichever is later. The Beijing region is cheaper; for example, wan3.0-video at 1080p lists at about $0.165 per second.

At the 1080p list price, a 30-second video costs about $6. Testing framing and pacing at 480p before rendering the final version in high resolution saves a good share of that.

What is new in Wan 3.0

According to launch coverage, Wan 3.0 changes three main things compared with Wan 2.7:

• a single generation can now run 30 seconds instead of 15;
• faces get synchronized lip movement, micro-expressions and multilingual voices;
• inputs can be text, images, audio, video, and even web pages and documents such as PDFs and slide decks.

Wan 3.0's weights are not open. The last video flagship Alibaba open-sourced was Wan 2.2 in July 2025, so if you need to run a model locally, you are limited to Wan 2.2 and earlier open releases.

Wan vs Kling and Jimeng

Toolvori lists Kling and Jimeng, which, like Wan, are video models from Chinese companies. A few ways to choose:

• Longest single shot with audio. Wan 3.0 produces 30 seconds with sound in one pass, which suits scenes that need long takes.
• Using it from mainland China. Kling, Jimeng and Tongyi Wanxiang all have domestic versions that are easier to access and pay for, while wan.video is the international edition.
• Developer integration. Wan's API runs on Alibaba Cloud, so teams already on Alibaba Cloud face the least setup. You can also reach it through an aggregator such as WaveSpeedAI, which Toolvori lists today as well, where Wan 3.0 also starts at $0.05 per second.

Third-party traffic data from Columbus estimates that wan.video had about 1.46 million visits in September 2026, with roughly 94,000 monthly searches for "wan", 83,000 for "wan ai" and 48,000 for "wan 2.2". You can browse more AI video tools in Toolvori's AI visuals category.
