Grok Imagine 1.5 vs MiniMax H3 Max

Almost every comparison of Grok Imagine 1.5 and MiniMax H3 Max on the internet is written from two launch announcements. This one is written from the catalogue: the specifications below are read from each provider when the page is served, so they cannot go stale, and the two clips were generated here, on the same account, through the same pipeline, with the prompts shown underneath — not taken from either vendor’s reel, which is always the best of many attempts.

MiniMax H3 Max costs 19 credits for five seconds against 40 for Grok Imagine 1.5 — 2.1 times the price for the same length, which is the difference you will feel first if you iterate on a prompt.

Grok Imagine 1.5 will run to 15 seconds and MiniMax H3 Max stops at 10, which matters only if you need one continuous take rather than a cut.

Neither is declared the winner anywhere on this page. Where a row has a better answer — a lower price, a longer clip, a larger render — it is marked, and the rest is left unmarked, because sound, mode support and the look of the output are differences rather than rankings.

Specifications read from each provider's own schema when this page loaded. Both clips were generated on Musevate.

Both, on the same platform

The part no specification table can give you. Each clip below came out of Musevate through the same pipeline, and the prompt that produced it is underneath.

Side by side

Every figure here is read from the provider when the page is served, so it cannot drift the way a written comparison does. Where a row has a better answer it is marked; where it does not, both are shown plainly rather than scored.

Questions

Should I use Grok Imagine 1.5 or MiniMax H3 Max?

It depends on the shot, and any page answering that without knowing what you are making is guessing. The honest way to choose is to run the same prompt through both — on Musevate that is two generations from one balance, and the two clips on this page were made exactly that way.

Is Grok Imagine 1.5 worth the extra over MiniMax H3 Max?

Grok Imagine 1.5 costs 40 credits for five seconds against 19 for MiniMax H3 Max.
