We rate Hailuo 9.5/10 for value. Hailuo is our go-to for volume testing and exploration where per-unit cost matters more than per-unit quality. At $0.017/second via fal.ai, we can generate hundreds of test clips for the cost of a single Runway generation. We use it heavily in the spec work pipeline where we are generating unsolicited samples for prospects. If the spec work converts, we reshoot the hero asset in Runway or Kling. Hailuo is not suitable for client deliverables at its default settings, but it is the most cost-effective tool for creative exploration and A/B testing visual directions.
