Free Wan AI Video Generator: What You Get

What free means on Open Wan

The free Wan AI video generator on Open Wan is not an unlimited free tier. A new account receives 20 trial credits, valid for 30 days, with no card required. Credits are the only currency on the platform: every generation spends them according to the model and settings you choose.

That makes the offer concrete. You are not signing up for a trial subscription that renews. You get a fixed credit balance that can be spent on the same models as paid credits.

How to claim the trial credits

1. Create an account from the sign-up page.
2. The 20 trial credits are added to the new account.
3. Open the Wan 3.0 model page or the composer on the homepage.
4. Choose a model, duration and resolution.
5. Write a prompt and generate. When the clip is ready, download the MP4.

No payment details are needed for this flow. The trial is time-limited, so it is worth spending on a real idea rather than a random test.

What 20 credits can generate

| Run | Credits | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Wan 3.0, 5s or 10s, 480p | 15 | One clip with native audio, 5 credits left | | Wan 2.7, 5s, 10s or 15s | 15 | One clip at 720p or 1080p, 5 credits left | | Seedance 2.5, 5s at 480p | 10 | Two clips at 480p | | Seedance 2.5, 5s at 720p | 25 | Not enough for one run |

Twenty credits do not stretch to every combination. A 720p Seedance run costs 25, and a 10s Seedance run at 480p costs 20 — the full trial balance for a single clip. The strongest free result is usually one Wan 3.0 generation, because it spends 15 credits and returns picture plus sound.

How to spend the trial well

Start at 5 seconds

A 5s clip is enough to judge composition, motion and audio. Longer durations help a finished shot, but they are a poor first test.

Describe one scene and one action

Prompts that try to tell a story in 5 seconds produce muddled motion. Pick one location, one subject and one movement. Add a camera instruction and, for Wan 3.0, one or two sound sources.

Use the low-cost model for exploration

If you mainly want to know whether an idea works, a 5s Seedance 2.5 run at 480p costs 10 credits, so the trial covers two attempts. Once the idea works, spend 15 credits on Wan 3.0 for the audio version.

Download everything

Exports are MP4 files. Download each result before starting the next run so you can compare versions side by side.

What happens after the 20 credits

Credits are sold in one-time packs, not subscriptions. Paid credits do not expire. The smallest pack is 999 credits for $9.99, which covers about 66 Wan 3.0 runs or 99 Seedance 480p 5s runs.

Larger packs lower the effective price per run: 5,199 credits for $49.99, or 10,999 credits for $99.99. The pricing page lists the current packs and the exact credit amounts.

Is anything actually unlimited?

No. Open Wan does not offer unlimited Wan generations. The trial is a fixed grant of 20 credits, and every run after it is paid from a pack. Any "unlimited free" claim elsewhere is worth checking: ask which model runs, at what resolution, and what restrictions the output carries.

FAQ

How many free videos can I make?

A new account gets 20 trial credits. That is one 15-credit Wan 3.0 or Wan 2.7 run, or two 10-credit Seedance 2.5 5s runs at 480p.

Do I need a credit card?

No card is required to create an account and use the trial credits.

Do the trial credits expire?

Yes. The 20 trial credits are valid for 30 days from the grant.

Which model should I use for the free run?

Choose Wan 3.0 if the clip needs sound, Wan 2.7 if you have an image or need 1080p, and Seedance 2.5 if you want two quick 480p tests. The model comparison covers Wan 3.0 against Wan 2.7.

Can I buy credits without a subscription?

Yes. Credit packs are one-time purchases, and paid credits do not expire.
