Price is one input. The tiers produce different looks, motion and resolution, and a 480p clip is not the same product as Gen-4 Turbo output. This post compares prices only and does not rank quality.
For clip lengths, resolutions and the exact reservation behaviour, see the video generation docs.
- Wan 3.0 accepts 2 to 30 seconds per request.
