PixVerse vs Elyumfor Wan 3.0
PixVerse bills every Wan 3.0 attempt; Elyum shows a free preview and charges only when you keep the take.
Wan 3.0 is Alibaba's flagship video model. One take can run 2 to 30 seconds at 1080p with native sound and dialogue in the same file, so you are not stitching five-second fragments or sending a silent export out for lip-sync. It accepts text, a still, up to ten images and five clips on one shot, or an existing edit. Face, wardrobe, product, and motion can stay locked in one generation. That is the same model on PixVerse and on Elyum. The weights do not change. The meter and the bad-take policy do.
What changes is the meter. PixVerse charges credits per attempt across its own V6 line and licensed models (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Wan 3.0). Third-party pricing guides (Magic Hour, Somake AI, AtlasCloud) list Standard at $10/mo for 1,200 credits with a 720p cap, and Pro at $30/mo for 6,000 credits with 1080p/4K. Elyum publishes Wan 3.0 on the Wan 3.0 page at 10 credits per second at 1080p, returns every render as a free preview, and charges only on keep. PixVerse does not publish Wan 3.0's per-clip credit price. Free daily credits on PixVerse expire at 00:00 UTC; paid monthly credits are widely reported as non-rolling.
PixVerse is the better daily sandbox if you want 90 signup credits plus 60 credits a day and a catalog that already includes PixVerse C1 and R1. Elyum has no timeline editor and no mobile app. It also has no community feed (see PixVerse as an alternative if those matter). On Elyum's Free plan, kills are capped at one a month; paid plans kill freely. If you already pay PixVerse for V6 and only need the odd Wan 3.0 take, opening a second studio may not pay off.
Wan 3.0 on PixVerse
PixVerse lists Wan 3.0 as an available licensed model in third-party model-catalog research. It does not publish a Wan 3.0 credit row (official pricing URLs returned 403 or 404 to automated fetch). Free accounts get 90 one-time signup credits plus 60 credits a day that reset at 00:00 UTC and expire unused. Free video is watermarked, lower resolution, and restricted on premium and third-party models, so Wan 3.0 may sit behind that gate. Standard is $10/mo ($8/mo yearly) for 1,200 credits and up to 720p. Pro is $30/mo ($24/mo yearly) for 6,000 credits and up to 1080p/4K, which matches Wan 3.0's 1080p ceiling.
No official refund or retry-credit policy was found on PixVerse's own site. A Trustpilot reviewer wrote they were charged credits for generations that ignored the prompt. Google Play reviews include a 'scam alert' claim that unused paid credits are removed weekly; treat both as user reports. Paid tiers remove watermarks. Commercial-use terms were not confirmed on an official PixVerse terms page. Wan 3.0 clip length on PixVerse is not independently confirmed. PixVerse also ships a CLI/skills product and an Enterprise/API track (third-party sources cite Essential at about $100/mo for 15,000 API credits).
Wan 3.0 on Elyum
On Elyum, Wan 3.0 runs 2 to 30 seconds with native audio at 480p, 720p, and 1080p. Per-second rates are 3 at 480p, 5 at 720p, and 10 at 1080p. A kept 5-second 1080p take is 50 credits ($0.50). A kept 15-second 1080p take is 150 credits ($1.50). Elyum pricing is Free (up to 150 credits once (our algorithm may grant them), no card), Plus $9/mo, Pro $29/mo, Ultra $69/mo. 1 credit equals $0.01. Listed prices already sit about 20% under Higgsfield, OpenArt, and Runway anchors.
Every render comes back as a free preview. You keep the takes you will download (that is the only charge) or kill the rest and the credits return automatically. A failed generation is never charged. The Free plan meters kills at one a month; Plus, Pro, and Ultra kill freely. Kept files download at full quality with no watermark, and commercial use is included. The same model is available from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor via the MCP docs and the REST API.

Where the two differ
PixVerse deducts credits per generation attempt and does not publish Wan 3.0's credit price. Somake AI describes annual billing as pre-selected by default at signup. Elyum deducts only when you keep. The 1080p rate is 10 credits per second.
No official refund policy was found on PixVerse's site. Trustpilot reviewers report charges for ignored prompts and failed outputs. On Elyum a failed generation is never charged; a killed preview refunds in full (one kill a month on Free; unlimited kills on paid).
Wan 3.0 on Elyum is 2 to 30 seconds at 480p, 720p, or 1080p. PixVerse Standard is capped at 720p; Pro and above list 1080p/4K. Wan 3.0 clip length on PixVerse is not independently confirmed. Free PixVerse output is lower resolution.
PixVerse free daily credits expire at 00:00 UTC. Paid monthly credits are widely reported by third-party guides as non-rolling. Elyum lets you top up; Free is up to 150 credits once (our algorithm may grant them). Plan credits are not described as same-day expiring.
PixVerse has a CLI/skills product and an Enterprise/API track (third-party Essential figure: about $100/mo for 15,000 API credits). Elyum exposes the same studio through MCP and a REST API from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor.
PixVerse ships a Google Play app and a CLI/skills product. Elyum has no timeline editor, no mobile app, no stock footage, no avatars, and no team seats. If you need a phone client, PixVerse wins that surface.
Pick PixVerse when
- 90 signup credits plus 60 credits a day that reset at 00:00 UTC, enough to poke Wan 3.0 without a card if the free gate allows it.
- You already live in PixVerse V6, C1, and R1 and want Wan 3.0 in the same tab as Seedance, Kling, and Veo.
- CLI/skills and an Enterprise/API track if your workflow is agent-driven and you already have PixVerse API credits.
- Higher tiers list 4K and Premium/Ultra include unlimited Nano Banana 2 at 0 credits, useful if stills and video share one bill.
Pick Elyum when
- Every Wan 3.0 render is a free preview. Credits move only when you keep. Failed generations are never charged.
- Published rates: a 15-second 1080p keep is 150 credits ($1.50). PixVerse does not publish the Wan 3.0 row.
- 2 to 30 seconds at 1080p with native audio, plus keep/kill on Free (up to 150 credits once (our algorithm may grant them)) through Ultra $69/mo.
- Keep/kill applies across the studio, not only Wan 3.0. Other models sit in the models catalog.

Getting the most out of Wan 3.0
- State duration and one action. Wan 3.0 will fill 2 to 30 seconds. A 15-second take should be one beat (a walk, a pour, a turn), not three scene changes. If you need a cut, run a second take or use the edit path.
- Write the soundtrack in the prompt. Wan 3.0 bakes dialogue and ambience into the same file. Put spoken lines in quotes and name the room tone (street hiss, kitchen clatter). A silent prompt still yields sound, just not the sound you wanted.
- On reference-to-video, label the inputs. Use stills for face, wardrobe, and product (up to ten) and clips for motion (up to five). Two clear face angles beat ten near-duplicates. Conflicting outfits across stills make the model average them.
- Give the camera one verb. A slow dolly-in with a locked horizon holds. Stacking pan, orbit, and handheld in one sentence produces drift by second eight, especially at 1080p.
- For image-to-video, say what is allowed to move. Name the motion (a 30-degree turn, hair and coat follow) and say the background holds. That outperforms restating the whole still. Do not invent objects that are not in the frame.
- Avoid tiny type, logos, and multi-person choreography in one shot. Glyphs smear. Two people with separate blocking is where identity swaps start. Lock each person with their own still instead of a long physical description.
