Short answer

They are the same Wan 3.0 model with the same request fields. Prime ("kreator-video-wan-3-prime") runs in a much faster mode and costs $0.090 per second at 720p; Wan 3.0 ("kreator-video-wan-3") costs $0.070, about 29% less. Send Prime when someone is waiting on the result, Wan 3.0 for batches.

How to pick

  1. 1

    A user is waiting?

    Interactive apps, live previews and client sessions: send Prime.

  2. 2

    Running a batch?

    Overnight renders, variations you review later, scheduled pipelines: send Wan 3.0 and keep the difference.

  3. 3

    Switch freely

    Prompts, frames, references and resolutions are the same on both, so changing the model field is the only change.

Each request is billed per second and rounded up to whole tokens ($0.05). Generated sound is included.

Are they the same model?

Yes. Prime is Wan 3.0 in a faster mode. Clip lengths, resolutions, aspect ratios, sound, first and last frames, reference images and saved characters work the same on both, and so does every request field.

How much more does Prime cost?

$0.090 against $0.070 per second at 720p, and $0.190 against $0.140 at 1080p. On 100 five-second clips a month at 720p that is $10.00 more on Prime.

As of 25 October 2026, the KreatorFlow API has the lowest listed price at 720p and 1080p for Wan 3.0 Prime (6 other providers list it) and Wan 3.0 (6 other providers list it), at our list rate, among the 11 API providers in the Seedance API Price Index. Every competitor price is a list price read on the provider's own page that day.

Concurrency and retries

Up to 5 Wan 3.0 jobs run at once across the platform, Prime and Wan 3.0 together. When it is full the API answers 429 with a Retry-After header and nothing is reserved, so a retry with the same Idempotency-Key is safe.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wan 3.0 Prime better quality than Wan 3.0?

It is the same model, so we do not claim a quality difference. Prime is faster and costs more per second.

Which costs less?

Wan 3.0: $0.070 per second at 720p against $0.090 on Prime, at the list rate.

Do the volume tiers apply to Wan?

No. The volume tiers discount Seedance video only, so both Wan models are billed at the list rate.

Can I switch between them in code?

Yes. Change the model field between "kreator-video-wan-3-prime" and "kreator-video-wan-3"; nothing else changes.

Both Wan 3.0 models run on one key. Each job is quoted before it runs, and failed jobs are not charged.
