Choose a plan that matches your usage. From a free tier for exploration to enterprise deployments with dedicated capacity, MiniMax scales with your needs.
Four tiers designed for every stage — from your first API call to production workloads serving millions of users.
MiniMax pricing follows a transparent token-based model. Every plan includes access to the full model catalog, REST API, SDK libraries, and platform hub. The differences are in monthly token allocations, video generation minutes, support response times, and enterprise features like dedicated capacity and custom service-level agreements.
The Free tier gives you 1,000 tokens every month with no credit card required. It covers all base models and API endpoints. Rate limits apply but are generous enough for prototyping, learning the API, and small personal projects. When you need more throughput, the Starter plan at $29 per month unlocks 100,000 tokens, faster rate limits, and email support. The Pro plan at $99 per month delivers 500,000 tokens, priority support, and higher concurrent request limits.
Enterprise accounts receive custom pricing based on expected volume, dedicated GPU capacity, guaranteed uptime SLAs, and a named account manager. Enterprise contracts support annual billing, departmental cost allocation, and custom model fine-tuning arrangements. Contact the sales team for a tailored proposal.
Video generation is billed by rendering duration, separate from token-based text and chat consumption.
Video generation operates on a per-minute basis with resolution tiers. Standard definition up to 720p costs less per minute than high definition at 1080p. All paid plans include a base video minute allocation: Starter plans get 10 minutes of SD video per month, Pro plans include 30 minutes with HD capability. Additional minutes can be purchased as add-on packages. Enterprise contracts negotiate custom video volume pricing based on projected monthly needs.
Video overages bill at the same per-minute rate as add-on packages — no penalty pricing. Unused video minutes do not roll over between billing cycles. Real-time usage tracking shows remaining video minutes alongside token consumption in the platform hub dashboard.
MiniMax plans progress from Free (1,000 tokens/month, standard rate limits, community access) through Starter ($29/month, 100K tokens, email support, 10 SD video minutes) to Pro ($99/month, 500K tokens, priority support, 30 HD video minutes). Enterprise plans add dedicated GPU capacity, custom SLAs with uptime guarantees, named account management, consolidated billing with department cost tags, and volume-based token pricing. All plans include access to the full model catalog, REST API, SDKs, and the platform hub. Annual prepayment on Starter and Pro plans saves 15%.
| Plan | Price | Tokens | Video Minutes | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 1,000 | — | Community |
| Starter | $29/mo | 100,000 | 10 SD | |
| Pro | $99/mo | 500,000 | 30 HD | Priority |
| Enterprise | Custom | Volume-based | Negotiable | Dedicated |
"We started on the Pro plan for our pilot project and moved to Enterprise once we validated demand. The transition was seamless — same API keys, same SDKs, just more capacity. The sales team structured our contract around projected Q3 volume, and the per-token rate dropped meaningfully compared to the self-serve plans."

MiniMax offers four pricing tiers: Free (1,000 tokens per month), Starter at $29 per month (100,000 tokens), Pro at $99 per month (500,000 tokens), and Enterprise with custom pricing that includes dedicated capacity and priority support. All paid plans include email support with the Pro and Enterprise tiers adding priority response times and dedicated account management respectively.
MiniMax bills based on token usage where one token roughly equals 0.75 English words. Input tokens (prompts) and output tokens (responses) count toward your monthly allocation. Plans provide a base token allotment with overage billing at a flat per-token rate. Video generation is billed separately by duration in minutes at the rendering resolution selected.
