Comparison
Hailuo 3 Max vs Motion One
The one criterion that cannot be worked around decides this comparison. Hailuo 3 Max is moderated upstream by MiniMax: silent clips of 5 to 15 seconds at 480p or 768p, image-to-video with first and last frames, from the Hobby plan. Motion One is eroq's own engine — uncensored within the acceptable-use policy and fully private: 5 to 15 seconds with its soundtrack baked in, 29 credits a second, on every account.

Questions
Why is Motion One uncensored when Hailuo is not?
Because of where the moderation sits. MiniMax moderates Hailuo upstream of eroq, so those requests never reach the engine uncensored. Motion One is eroq's own engine — uncensored within the acceptable-use policy and fully private.
Is Motion One free to use?
It needs no plan, which is not the same as free. It is 29 credits a second at 768p — 145 for 5 seconds — and the 40 welcome credits cover five seconds at 480p (35 credits), the lowest per-second rate on eroq.
Which one has sound?
Motion One — its soundtrack is baked into the clip. Hailuo 3 Max renders none, so any narration comes from the voice studio and is laid under the cut in your editor.
Can either one hold a face across several clips?
Both animate a start image, so a picture you set as the first frame is what holds the likeness. Motion One does not take saved Characters yet, and Hailuo 3 Max reads no reference pictures, so a cast rides as text there. Neither takes a seed, so two renders of the same prompt will differ.
