TryH3 is a browser front-end for video generation built around MiniMax’s H3 model: text-to-video, image-to-video, first/last-frame control and multimodal references, with output up to native 2K and synchronised stereo audio, in clips of roughly 4–15 seconds.
Let’s be precise about what it is, because the naming invites confusion: this is an unofficial wrapper — a third-party site selling convenient access to a model it does not make. That is a legitimate business (half this directory is wrappers), but you should price it as one.
What it costs
Free accounts generate at 480p — a real trial, not a screenshot tour. Paid plans start around $19.90 a month, with higher tiers to $49.90 and annual billing that works out from roughly $16.67 a month. The credits-to-seconds conversion is the number that matters, and it lives on their pricing page rather than in plain text — do that arithmetic before subscribing.
For context from our own measured spend: MiniMax-class silent b-roll has cost us about $0.08 a second hitting the API directly in our bakeoff runs. A wrapper’s convenience premium is fine at hobby volume and painful at production volume — know which one you are.
What we can’t tell you
We have not pushed our production prompts through TryH3, so we can’t compare its reject rate or prompt handling against direct API access. The 480p free tier is the honest test: bring the exact shot you need, not their gallery prompt.
