Wan 3 vs Pro vs Prime: a controlled 9-run benchmark
Three models, one prompt, three runs each. We report completion time, live 1080P price, technical success, and what the frames actually show.First-party runRun September 20, 2026Registry 2026-10-14.apipod
What the test found
All nine jobs completed and returned a 5.04-second 1080P H.264 video with AAC audio. Median completion times were within 1.3 seconds of one another, so this sample does not support a meaningful speed winner.| Model | Completed | Median time | Live 5s price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wan 3 Spicy | 3/3 | 150.0 s | $0.90 |
| Wan 3 Pro Spicy | 3/3 | 149.0 s | $0.72 |
| Wan 3 Prime Spicy | 3/3 | 148.7 s | $1.26 |
Method
Text-to-video, 16:9, 1080P, 5 seconds, audio enabled. Each model received the identical prompt three times. Timings are submit-to-complete wall time. This is a small controlled sample, not a universal quality ranking.Prompt usedA premium cobalt-blue ceramic perfume bottle on a pale stone plinth in a quiet studio. One continuous five-second shot: the camera makes a slow clockwise orbit while a narrow warm light sweeps across the bottle. Keep the bottle shape, label placement, plinth, and background stable. Natural reflections, restrained motion, no cuts, no extra objects, no text changes.
