Flux 3 Video vs WAN 3.0
Generated on PixelDojo with Flux 3 Video. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Flux 3 Video costs 25 credits for a 5 second 720p clip. WAN 3.0 costs 12.5 credits for the same 5 second length, half the price. We ran both models on the same image to video prompt on August 26, 2026 to see what each price actually buys. Flux 3 Video finished its full 5 second clip in about 79 seconds with a synced audio track already attached. WAN 3.0's cheapest possible run, a shorter 2 second clip at a lower resolution with audio turned off, took about 241 seconds on the standard speed tier. This page breaks down the rate cards, what we measured in each output file, and when each model is the better pick.

WAN 3.0
Flux 3 Video and WAN 3.0, side by side
Price at a matching clip length
Flux 3 Video charges 5 credits a second at 720p, so a 5 second clip costs 25 credits. WAN 3.0 charges 2.5 credits a second at 720p, so the same 5 second length costs 12.5 credits, half as much.
What we actually timed
Flux 3 Video's full 5 second 720p clip finished in about 79 seconds. WAN 3.0's test ran its cheapest possible settings instead, a shorter 2 second clip at 480p, and still took about 241 seconds on the standard speed tier. Shorter and cheaper did not mean faster in this run.
Resolution options
Flux 3 Video offers 720p or 1080p. WAN 3.0 offers 480p, 720p, or 1080p on its standard speed tier, plus a separate Fast tier at roughly 40 percent more per second that the tool documents as finishing closer to 2 minutes.
Audio in the files we measured
Flux 3 Video generates audio by default, and our file came back with a synced AAC track. WAN 3.0 also supports native audio by default, but our test run explicitly turned audio off to isolate the cheapest price, so that file has no sound. Toggling audio does not change either model's credit price.
What each clip contained
Flux 3 Video: 960 by 960 pixels, matching the square shape of the source image, 24 frames a second, about 5.04 seconds, roughly 1.36 megabytes. WAN 3.0: 832 by 480 pixels, 30 frames a second, exactly 2.00 seconds, about 1.07 megabytes.
Starting image options
Flux 3 Video takes one starting frame alongside the prompt. WAN 3.0 accepts up to 10 reference images or a first and last frame pair, though the two modes cannot be combined in a single request.
Same orbit prompt, same day: Flux 3 Video, 25 credits and about 79 seconds for a 5 second clip with audio. WAN 3.0, 12.5 credits for a matching 5 second length, or 3 credits and about 241 seconds for the cheapest possible test clip.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Flux 3 Video vs WAN 3.0
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
Half the price at matching length
A 5 second 720p clip is 25 credits on Flux 3 Video and 12.5 credits on WAN 3.0.
Faster in our test
Flux 3 Video's full length clip finished in about 79 seconds. WAN 3.0's shorter, cheaper test clip took about 241 seconds on standard speed.
Audio when you want it
Both models generate native audio by default at no extra credit cost. Our Flux 3 Video file kept the track. Our WAN 3.0 test had audio turned off on purpose.
How It Works
How we ran this matchup, so you can repeat it:
Start from the same image and prompt
We fed both models the same product still and the same camera orbit prompt, so neither result was shaped by different wording.
Time each request end to end
date +%s brackets around each generate call, with WAN 3.0 timed through polling since it ran past the API's 30 second sync window.
Read the finished files, not the settings
Pixel dimensions, frame rate, exact duration, audio track presence, and file size were checked in each output file rather than assumed from the request.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Flux 3 Video vs WAN 3.0
What does Flux 3 Video cost compared with WAN 3.0?
Flux 3 Video runs 5 credits a second at 720p, so a 5 second clip is 25 credits. WAN 3.0 runs 2.5 credits a second at 720p, so the same 5 second length is 12.5 credits. Our cheapest WAN 3.0 test used an even shorter 2 second, 480p clip for 3 credits.
Which one renders faster?
In our August 26, 2026 test, Flux 3 Video's full 5 second 720p clip finished in about 79 seconds. WAN 3.0's cheaper 2 second, 480p test clip took about 241 seconds on the standard speed tier. WAN 3.0 does offer a Fast tier, at roughly 40 percent more per second, that the tool documents as finishing closer to 2 minutes.
Do both generate audio?
Both support native audio by default at no extra credit cost. Our Flux 3 Video file came back with a synced AAC track. Our WAN 3.0 test explicitly turned audio off to isolate the cheapest price, so that file is silent, even though the model supports audio when left on.
What resolutions can I pick?
Flux 3 Video offers 720p or 1080p. WAN 3.0 offers 480p, 720p, or 1080p on standard speed, plus the separate Fast tier at a higher per-second rate.
How do I call either model from the API?
The same way as every model in the catalog. POST to /api/v1/models/flux-3-video/run or /api/v1/models/wan-3-0-video/run with your API key, a prompt, and a starting image. The request shape does not change between models.
Which one should I use?
Use Flux 3 Video when you want a full length clip finished quickly and you are fine paying more per second. Use WAN 3.0 when price and resolution control matter most, or when a short, low resolution test is all you need before committing more credits to a longer render.
