Hailuo 2.3 vs Wan V2.5

Hailuo 2.3 and Wan V2.5 differ on 4 specifications — from what each one costs to which inputs it accepts. Every value below is read from the live model catalog, so it stays current as new versions ship.

Which should you use?

Neither returns audio, so this is a format and price call: Wan V2.5 gives you explicit resolution and a full set of aspect ratios, Hailuo 2.3 is marginally cheaper and offers a 10-second option at a lower tier.

Neither model produces synced audio, so both assume you are scoring separately. Hailuo 2.3 runs 6 or 10 seconds from 8 to 15 credits with no resolution control exposed. Wan V2.5 runs 5 or 10 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p from 8 to 22.

Entry prices match at 8 credits, so the decision is about control rather than cost. Wan gives you explicit resolution selection and a much wider set of aspect ratios — 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16 — which matters if your delivery is square or 4:3.

Hailuo 2.3's lower ceiling (15 against 22) makes it the cheaper choice at the top end, and its 6-second option is shorter than Wan's 5-or-10 split allows for a natural six-second beat. Both are value-tier models and neither appears near the top of public arena boards.

Pick Hailuo 2.3 when

  • You want the lower entry price at 8 credits, matched, but a lower ceiling — 15 against Wan's 22.
  • 6 or 10 seconds fits and you do not need to pin the resolution.

Pick Wan V2.5 when

  • You need 4:3, 1:1 or 3:4 framing — Wan exposes all of them.
  • You need to choose 480p, 720p or 1080p explicitly; Hailuo 2.3 exposes no resolution parameter.
  • A 480p draft tier is useful to you.
