Hailuo 02 vs Wan V2.5

Which should you use?

Neither returns audio, so this is a straight cost-and-format call: Hailuo 02 is the cheapest way to a 1080p clip on ZOOOP at 3 credits, while Wan V2.5 costs more but gives you 480p and a full set of aspect ratios including 4:3 and 21:9-adjacent framings Hailuo does not expose.

The first thing to know is what neither of them does: no synced audio. If the clip needs dialogue or scored sound tied to the picture, both are the wrong tool on ZOOOP and the shortlist should be Veo 3.1, Kling V3 or Seedance instead. Everything below assumes you are scoring separately.

Hailuo 02 runs 6 or 10 seconds at 768p or 1080p, from 3 credits — the cheapest entry price of any video model in the catalog. Wan V2.5 runs 5 or 10 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p from 8 credits, and is the more flexible of the two on framing: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16 against Hailuo's narrower set.

That makes the decision mostly about what the edit needs rather than which model is stronger. A vertical or widescreen social clip at volume favours Hailuo on pure economics. A 4:3 insert, a square product loop, or a workflow where you want cheap 480p drafts before spending on 1080p favours Wan.

Both are positioned as value options rather than flagships, and neither appears near the top of the public arena boards — which is the honest framing: you are trading the last increment of fidelity for two to eight times more takes per credit than the flagship tier costs.
