Built by fine-tuning MiniMax's H3 video model, HeyGen Video starts at a penny per second through October, well below rivals like Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0 Pro.
HeyGen released HeyGen Video on September 30, priced at $0.01 per second during an October launch discount (half its $0.02 standard rate). It's live now through HeyGen's API and partners including OpenRouter, Runware, and ComfyUI. HeyGen says it performs comparably to pricier rivals in blind side-by-side tests.
The model caps out at 768p, below MiniMax H3's own 2K option, so it targets volume use cases like ads and social clips rather than high-end production work.
Key Capabilities:

• Low price: $0.01 per second through October, among the cheapest video models available.
• Built on MiniMax H3: A fine-tuned version of MiniMax's base video model, not built from scratch.
• Resolution cap: Tops out at 768p; no 2K option like the base MiniMax H3 offers.
