Wan 3 · 720p price: direct answer
Wan 3 · 720p costs about $1.00 for a 10-second output at the tracked 720p configuration, before retries, taxes or provider-specific minimums. At 100 ten-second attempts, the generation total is $100.
Effective cost after retries
Headline price is not usable-output price. One retry makes a usable ten-second clip approximately $2.00; two retries make it $3.00. Measure acceptance rate by workload because dialogue, product motion and character continuity fail differently.
When Wan 3 · 720p is a good fit
Its strongest fit is budget-aware experiments and open-model workflows. Require a small representative prompt suite before selecting it for volume. Include both easy and failure-prone scenes, then record cost per accepted output.
Cost examples
| Workload | Generated time | Clean pass | With 2 retries |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 × 10s clips | 100s | $10.00 | $30.00 |
| 100 × 10s clips | 1000s | $100.00 | $300.00 |
| 1000 × 10s clips | 10000s | $1000.00 | $3000.00 |
Configuration caveats
The tracked rate applies to 720p output and does not include native audio. Input-video billing, minimum charges, upscaling, storage and editing may change the final production cost.
