Wan 3.0 Pricing Guide: Alibaba vs OpenRouter vs DeepInfra
Blog post from Deepinfra
DeepInfra’s comparison of Wan 3.0 video-generation pricing finds that Alibaba Cloud offers the lowest listed per-second rates outside Singapore, ranging from $0.041256 at 480p to $0.165025 at 1080p, while OpenRouter begins at $0.0425 per second for 480p and provides published latency and availability information. DeepInfra charges a flat $0.20 per generated second regardless of resolution, positioning its service around broader multimodal inputs and production controls rather than the lowest rendering cost. Video billing is driven primarily by output duration, resolution, region, and costly regenerations, with no separate listed charges for supplied inputs. Alibaba Cloud is presented as most economical for straightforward workloads, OpenRouter as a lower-cost gateway for iterative generation, and DeepInfra as better suited to workflows requiring reference images, video, audio, files, web pages, seeds, watermarking, and other controls through one endpoint. The examples show that DeepInfra generally costs more for equivalent output volume, but may reduce total workflow complexity for media-rich applications, while a split approach using inexpensive 480p drafts on OpenRouter and final renders on DeepInfra can substantially lower costs.
