Self-host assumptions
Timings come from single-request SGLang benchmarks at 1344×768, 124 frames, 50 steps. Real throughput depends on batching and concurrency; treat all self-host numbers as estimates. 480p uses the same 768p timings (no speed-up assumed).
Break-even
Standard prices; promotions excluded.
At these assumptions fal · MiniMax H3 768p stays cheaper than self-hosting on 4× H200 at any volume.
How much does a 5-second H3 Max clip cost?
At the standard 768p rate of $0.08 per second a 5-second clip costs $0.40; at 480p it costs $0.25.
What does a 24/7 H3 Max stream cost?
86,400 seconds × $0.08 = $6,912 per day at 768p, or $4,320 per day at 480p, before any promotion.
Does H3 Max support reference-to-video or 2K?
No. H3 Max is text-to-video and image-to-video at up to 768p. For reference-to-video or 2K use MiniMax H3 on fal or the official API.
Is there a free tier?
fal's web playground offers a handful of free generations per day without an API key.
