Wan 3.0 API pricing: Cheap.dev vs Siray

Cheap.dev matches Siray’s 480p rates and charges less at 720p and 1080p in the comparisons below. Standard saves up to 18.75%; Cheap.dev Prime saves up to 12.5% against Siray Prime. Here are the per-second rates, five-second totals, and billing details behind those numbers.

Wan 3.0 prices by version and resolution

We checked Cheap.dev’s Stable pricing API and Siray’s public model-detail pricing APIs on November 5, 2026. All amounts are USD per billable second. Siray’s column uses its current discounted prices, rather than the higher crossed-out list prices.

The tables compare Standard vs Standard and Prime vs Prime, with each tier shown separately at 480p, 720p, and 1080p.

Savings = (Siray rate − Cheap.dev rate) ÷ Siray rate. Percentages are rounded to two decimal places where needed. This article compares the Standard and Prime tiers.

What does a five-second Wan 3.0 video cost?

For a text-to-video or image-to-video request with a five-second billed output and no reference-video charge, multiply the per-second rate by five. At 1080p, Cheap.dev Standard costs $0.65 compared with Siray Standard’s $0.80. Cheap.dev Prime costs $1.05 compared with Siray Prime’s $1.20.

For 100 five-second 1080p clips, that is $65 versus $80 for Standard, or $105 versus $120 for the Prime-tier comparison. Both save $15 for that batch; the percentage differs because the starting rates differ.

Standard or Prime: choose the tier before comparing providers

The lowest starting price cannot describe every version. At 1080p, Cheap.dev Standard is $0.13/sec and Prime is $0.21/sec. Compare Standard with Standard when budgeting a general-purpose workload, then evaluate the Prime-tier options separately if that is the tier your application needs.

Siray currently lists the same resolution-specific unit rates across text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video within each selected tier. Its public catalog names the premium endpoints alibaba/wan-3.0-{t2v,i2v,ref2v}-prime-spicy. Cheap.dev’s Prime model is wan3.0-video-prime. Keep the tier and resolution fixed when comparing prices across providers.

Reference videos change the billable duration

The five-second table assumes no input-video charge. Siray’s reference-to-video price description bills input video duration, capped at five seconds, plus output duration. A five-second output with a five-second reference therefore bills ten seconds: at Standard 720p, Siray’s total is $0.80 rather than the $0.40 output-only example.

Cheap.dev’s reference mode also accounts for billable input video time. Check the quote for your actual request before applying an output-only estimate to a reference-video workflow. Keep model tier, resolution, output duration, and reference inputs fixed when comparing final bills.

How we verified the prices
