Prices and migration steps. Three changes take effect in the `Wan` group on October 14, 2026: the two Wan 3.0 models are live, Wan video is priced at 1.2× Alibaba Cloud's list price, and the Wan 2.6 models are retired. Existing `Wan` tokens keep working without changes. * **Published**: October 14, 2026 * **Last checked**: October 14, 2026 * **Status**: In effect ## Key details | Item | Details | | - | - | | New models | `wan3.0-video` (standard) and `wan3.0-video-prime` (faster) | | New pricing | USD per second = Alibaba Cloud's list price per second in RMB × 0.1714, about 1.2× the list price | | Effective | Tasks created on or after October 14, 2026 | | Retired models | `wan2.6-t2v`, `wan2.6-i2v`, `wan2.6-r2v`, `wan2.6-r2v-flash` | | Token group | `Wan`, with Usage first (按量优先) or Usage-based (按量计费) billing | | Guide | [Wan 2.7 video generation API (with Wan 3.0)](/en/api-capabilities/wan-video-generation) | ## New prices Wan video is now priced at Alibaba Cloud Model Studio's list price plus 20%. The markup covers taxes, currency conversion and cross-border settlement, platform operations, and technical support. The `Wan` group multiplier moves from 0.15 to 0.1714, which works out to about 1.2× the list price at the fixed 1:7 exchange rate. | Model | Resolution | Before (per second) | Now (per second) | | - | - | -: | -: | | All four Wan 2.7 models | 720P / 1080P | \$0.09 / \$0.15 | \$0.1028 / \$0.1714 | | `wan3.0-video` | 480P / 720P / 1080P | New | \$0.0514 / \$0.1028 / \$0.2057 | | `wan3.0-video-prime` | 480P / 720P / 1080P | New | \$0.0771 / \$0.1543 / \$0.3085 | Tasks with an input video, such as video editing or a reference video, are billed for input seconds plus output seconds. The rules and worked examples are in [Wan billing and pricing](/en/api-capabilities/wan-video-generation#billing-and-pricing). Each task's actual charge is in your [call logs](https://api.laozhang.ai/log). ## What Wan 3.0 does Wan 3.0 is the video model Alibaba Cloud opened for public testing in August 2026. A single model ID works out the task from the inputs you send: * Text to video, up to 30 seconds, at 480P, 720P, or 1080P * Video from a first frame, or from a first and last frame * Reference to video, with up to 10 reference images and up to 5 reference videos and 5 reference audio clips * Video editing and video extension Both models have the same capabilities. `wan3.0-video-prime` generates faster and costs 1.5× as much per second. For request examples, see [Wan 3.0 video generation](/en/api-capabilities/wan-video-generation). ## Who is affected * **Wan 2.7 users**: the price per second rises by about 14%. Requests don't change. * **Integrations still calling Wan 2.6**: requests now fail with `Current group Wan has no available channels for model wan2.6-...`, so switch models. * **Not affected**: prices and models in other groups, such as Seedance. ## What to do 1. **Replace Wan 2.6 with a model that does the same job.** | Old model | Use instead | | - | - | | `wan2.6-t2v` | `wan2.7-t2v` or `wan3.0-video` | | `wan2.6-i2v` | `wan2.7-i2v` or `wan3.0-video` | | `wan2.6-r2v`, `wan2.6-r2v-flash` | `wan2.7-r2v` or `wan3.0-video` | Wan 2.7 and Wan 3.0 use a different request body from Wan 2.6; see the [Wan guide](/en/api-capabilities/wan-video-generation) for the format: * Set the resolution with `parameters.resolution`, for example `720P`, instead of `size`. * Put every image and video in `input.media[]` instead of `img_url`. 2. **Update your cost estimates.** Set `resolution` and `duration` on every request and estimate from the table above. Without `resolution`, both Wan 2.7 and Wan 3.0 output and bill at 1080P. 3. **Try Wan 3.0.** Keep your current `Wan` token and set `model` to `wan3.0-video` or `wan3.0-video-prime`. ## Frequently asked questions ### Why did the price change? Wan video is billed by converting Alibaba Cloud's list price into your USD balance. The 20% markup covers taxes, currency conversion and cross-border settlement, platform operations, and technical support, and it applies at the same rate to every model and resolution. ### Should I use `wan3.0-video` or `wan3.0-video-prime`? They have the same capabilities and parameters. Use `wan3.0-video` for high volume when speed isn't critical, and `wan3.0-video-prime` when you need results sooner; it costs 1.5× as much per second. Compare quality and turnaround with your own prompts before you switch production traffic. ### Why does one Wan task show two charges? The requested length is charged when you create the task, and the charge is settled against the seconds Alibaba Cloud reports when the task finishes. Tasks with an input video also count the input seconds, so they often get a second entry that adjusts the charge.
