Result URLs and task ids expire after 24 hours.\n\n**PixVerse API.** V6 at about $0.04 a second at 720p, with audio and clips up to 15 seconds. Plan prices and the dollar value of a credit sit on a JavaScript-only billing page.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Alibaba Wan (Model Studio)\n\n1. Send `X-DashScope-Async: enable` on the create call or it fails, then poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} about every 15 seconds\n2. Copy the video out within 24 hours. The URL and the task id both expire\n3. Use the host from your workspace and region. A Singapore key won't work on a Beijing host\n4. Don't resubmit a slow job. Poll it. Failed jobs aren't billed, so resubmit only after FAILED\n5. Set `audio` false if you don't want sound. It's on by default for Wan 3.0\n\n### PixVerse API\n\n1. Generate a new UUID for Ai-trace-id on every new submit. Reuse it only to fetch the same job again\n2. Poll the result endpoint. Status 1 is done, 5 generating, 7 moderation failure, 8 failed\n3. Moderate prompts before calling. Repeated status 7 results can suspend the key\n4. Use model v6 or c1 for new work. Older model tables still sit in the docs\n\n## Other comparisons with Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) or PixVerse API\n\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Google Veo](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-google-veo.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Kling AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-kling.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-luma.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-minimax-video.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-pika.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-runway.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-vidu.md)\n- [Google Veo vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [OpenAI Sora API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-sora-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Pika API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pika-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [PixVerse API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pixverse-vs-runway.md)\n- [PixVerse API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pixverse-vs-vidu.md)\n",
