Wan 2.5 API pricing: Standard and Fast rates compared
Wan 2.5 remains a practical choice for short image-to-video clips with synchronized audio. Its price varies sharply by resolution—and some providers now sell a separate Fast tier—so a single headline rate rarely tells the whole story.
Wan 2.5 API price table
Every row is normalized to an output second and a five-second clip. Provider caveats remain in the configuration column; fal.ai explicitly describes its headline value as a normalized estimate.
| Provider | Published configuration | Price / output sec | 5-sec clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheap.devOurs | Image-to-video, 480p | $0.04 | $0.20 |
| fal.ai | Normalized Wan 2.5 estimate; average 5-sec 720p video | $0.050 | $0.25 |
| Cheap.devOurs | Image-to-video, 720p | $0.07 | $0.35 |
| Cheap.devOurs | Image-to-video, 1080p | $0.10 | $0.50 |
Every numeric price links to the provider-owned pricing page that publishes it. Prices exclude taxes and enterprise discounts. fal.ai’s pricing page says its figure is normalized and actual output may vary by model, resolution, and prompt complexity.
How Cheap.dev Wan 2.5 pricing works
Cheap.dev’s live catalog bills five-second image-to-video jobs at $0.20 for 480p, $0.35 for 720p, and $0.50 for 1080p. Ten-second jobs cost exactly twice as much.
Why the Wan 2.5 headline price can mislead
Resolution changes the rate
On Cheap.dev, the price rises from $0.04/sec at 480p to $0.10/sec at 1080p. fal.ai’s pricing page deliberately normalizes its headline value, so it should not be expanded into an undocumented resolution ladder.
Audio is part of the product
Wan 2.5 can generate synchronized audio with the video or use supplied audio on supported endpoints. Before switching providers, confirm audio input, generated sound, aspect ratios, and duration controls—not only the per-second number.
Which Wan 2.5 API should you choose?
- Lowest published rate in this comparison: Cheap.dev’s 480p rate is $0.04/sec, below fal.ai’s normalized $0.05/sec headline.
- Simple normalized headline: fal.ai publishes $0.05/sec with an explicit average-video caveat.
- Agent-first multi-model workflow: Cheap.dev combines model discovery, a browser sandbox, saved tokens, OpenAPI resources, and an installable agent skill behind one API surface.
Methodology and sources
We checked Cheap.dev’s live pricing catalog on August 22, 2026. The fal.ai comparison rate was last checked on August 6, 2026. We removed rates sourced only from blogs or unsupported model summaries. Clip estimates equal published per-second rate × five seconds.
