SeaArt AI vs Elyumfor Wan 3.0
Elyum bills 10 credits/s at 1080p only on keep; SeaArt AI lists Wan AI without a published Wan rate or refund rule.
Wan 3.0 is Alibaba's video model, in public beta since August 6, 2026. It is built for one-pass clips from 2 to 30 seconds at 480p, 720p, or 1080p, with native audio in the same render. You can lock a face, a product, a location, and existing footage with up to 10 images and 5 clips, then describe how they combine. It also edits a clip you already have, so a dialogue or plot change does not force a full regenerate. That is the job: a 1080p 30s ad from a small reference pack, not a stitched pile of 5-second fragments.
The weights are the same vendor model. The platforms are not. Elyum posts Wan 3.0 at 2.6, 5.2, and 10 credits per second for 480p, 720p, and 1080p, and charges only when you keep a take. SeaArt AI lists Wan AI among video models; the 3.0 version number is not confirmed, and a per-clip Wan price is not published. SeaArt AI bills in daily Stamina plus purchasable Credits. A failed-generation policy is not published. Free outputs on SeaArt AI carry a watermark. Elyum kept downloads do not.
SeaArt AI still wins if you live in anime LoRAs and node graphs. Elyum does not have a timeline editor, stock footage, avatars, a mobile app, team seats, or a community feed. We also do not train LoRAs. If you want the same host comparison for another model SeaArt AI actually markets as a flagship, read SeaArt AI vs Elyum for Seedance 2.5.
Wan 3.0 on SeaArt AI
SeaArt AI lists Wan AI among video models on its homepage. The 3.0 version number is not confirmed. SeaArt's mall did not show a Wan-specific rate at the September 2026 check. Third-party pricing pages put video clip generation at 30-90 Credits depending on duration and settings. That is a general video example, not a posted Wan price. Which SVIP tier unlocks Wan AI is not published.
Free SeaArt AI users get about 130 Stamina a day (roughly 21 images) with watermarked outputs and a reported 2-submit, 1-process cap. Paid SVIP plans cited by tooljunction.io start at $5.99/mo (Beginner, 300 Stamina/day) and run through Standard at $29.99/mo, Professional at $59.99/mo, and Master at $149.99/mo. Paid outputs are reported without a watermark. Credits bought from April 1, 2026 expire two years after purchase. What a bad Wan take refunds is not published. geniusfirms.com and flowith.io call the Stamina and Credits split confusing. A scribehow.com review title flags a billing problem around renewals.

Pick SeaArt AI when
- Beginner SVIP is $5.99 a month. That is less than Elyum Plus, and Stamina refreshes every day.
- You already work in SeaArt AI's LoRA library and node workflows. Moving Wan off that graph costs you the graph.
- You want Sora, Pixverse, Vidu, and SeaArt's own anime models next to generic Wan AI in one login.
- Purchased Credits from April 1, 2026 stay valid for two years, which is longer than many video hosts.
Pick Elyum when
- Posted Wan 3.0 rates: 2.6 / 5.2 / 10 credits per second at 480p, 720p, and 1080p.
- You discard most takes. Keep is the only charge; kills refund in full on paid plans.
- Confirmed 2 to 30 second clips, 1080p, native audio, and 10 images plus 5 clip refs.
- MCP and REST from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, plus watermark-free commercial downloads.
Wan 3.0 in three styles, rendered on Elyum
Getting the most out of Wan 3.0
- Name one shot size and one camera move (medium close-up, slow dolly in). Extra verbs in the same sentence often add a second move Wan 3.0 will invent.
- Put spoken lines in quotes in the same prompt as the picture. Audio generates with the video, so a silent prompt usually yields thin room tone instead of a line.
- Label each reference: face, product, location, or existing footage. You get up to 10 images and 5 clips. Unlabeled packs make identities drift across slots.
- Match duration to the beat. A 30s job of a 4s product turn will pad with wandering motion. Write the 30 seconds as ordered actions.
- In edit mode, name what must stay (face, wardrobe, room) and what may change (line, prop, time of day). A full rewrite reads like a new generate.
- Lock motion at 480p (3 credits/s on Elyum), then keep a 1080p pass. The model is the same. The bill is not.
