DomoAI vs Hailuo AI (2026): which should you pick?

Pick DomoAI if

• Fits if you turn stills or footage into stylised clips with templates
• Works for people who need short talking-avatar videos

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to know the free allowance first, as the page does not state it
• Tight if you are on Basic: no Relax mode, 600 credits a month and 8 active tasks
• Watch out: Indian or Russian payment methods do not auto-renew, per the pricing FAQ
• Watch out: Team is shown for 3 seats at $3,564 a year, so it is not cheap for one person

Pick Hailuo AI if

• Fits if you make short social clips with sound from a prompt or a photo
• Works for Android or web users who want MiniMax's H3 model in a ready-made app

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you make a lot of video: Standard's 1,000 credits cover about 84 seconds of 2K H3 a month, and Pro jumps to $30.40
• Not for you if you're on iPhone, as the US App Store page for its app came back not found
• Watch out: prices are shown against crossed-out figures with no end date, and the site header still says plans start at $9.99
• Watch out: the sign-up credit isn't stated until you're signed in, while MiniMax's separate Design app offers 3,000 free credits
• Skip it if you need an API, plugins or integrations, as none are listed

DomoAI

• Relax mode, which does not spend credits, is not on Basic and applies only to supported models; third-party video models run in Fast mode only.
• Annual billing is shown as the default; the crossed-out higher figures are read as monthly prices and should be confirmed on the page.
• Per the pricing FAQ, subscriptions paid with Indian or Russian payment methods do not auto-renew.
• The Team plan page shows a yearly total for 3 seats ($3,564), so plan on a small team.

Hailuo AI

• Plans are shown as discounts from crossed-out prices ($14.99 for Standard) with no end date, and the site header still says plans start at $9.99 a month.
• The site links to an iOS app, but its US App Store page returned not found on October 17, 2026; the Android app is on Google Play.
• MiniMax also sells H3 in its separate MiniMax Design app, which a site banner promotes with 3,000 free credits for downloading it.
