This guide covers h3 max pricing.
Read first
For h3 max pricing, the safest public number is the dated fal model-page snapshot checked on September 4, 2026. fal lists H3 Max text-to-video and image-to-video launch rates at $0.0125/sec for 480P and $0.02/sec for 768P. The same model pages state that the listed launch discount ends on September 7, 2026, after which the visible list rates are $0.05/sec and $0.08/sec. Source: Official fal model source.
That means a quick five-second 768P H3 Max check is priced very differently during the launch window than it is under the post-discount list rate. The page should never treat the promotion as permanent. For a paid workflow, check the live fal model page and the fal pricing documentation again before creating a customer-facing quote or internal budget. Source: Official fal billing source.

Practical reading
The largest pricing mistakes usually come from mixing route families or forgetting that reference mode has more than output-video seconds.
For H3 Max text-to-video and image-to-video, start with seconds multiplied by the visible rate for 480P or 768P. Keep the date beside the number so nobody carries a launch-rate assumption into a later budget.
fal reference-to-video pricing says the first 4096 reference tokens are free, then additional reference tokens are billed. Image, video, and audio references have different token behavior, so reference-mode budgets need a separate line item.
fal pricing documentation says billing is based on generated output and that queue waiting is not charged. That helps separate infrastructure latency from generated seconds when reading logs.

FAQ
fal lists H3 Max at $0.02/sec for 768P during the launch-rate window checked on September 4, 2026.
Use the visible post-discount list rate on fal: $0.08/sec for 768P and $0.05/sec for 480P, then re-check fal before paid use.
No. It includes output video seconds and can add reference-token charges after the free token allowance.
