Question 1

Which subscription plan that includes MiniMax M3 is the cheapest?

Accepted Answer

Of the 10 plans compared here, Seed Lite on Seed (字节) is the lowest at ¥40.00/month. A free tier is also available for light usage. Plans on different product lines (for example a chat subscription versus a coding plan) are not direct substitutes, so pick by use case rather than price alone.

Question 2

Can I use MiniMax M3 for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the comparison includes plans with a free tier, so you can use the model at no cost with lower message and rate limits; paid tiers raise those limits.

Question 3

What is the difference between official and third-party plans?

Accepted Answer

This page compares 3 official plans alongside 7 third-party or aggregator plans. Official plans are sold directly by Minimax with their standard benefits and billing; third-party channels may be cheaper, support more payment methods, or bundle pooled credits, but model access and stability depend on that channel.

Question 4

Can I use these plans from mainland China?

Accepted Answer

These plans are directly reachable from mainland China: Minimax, Minimax, Minimax, Minimax Global. Domestic channels generally support Alipay/WeChat Pay.

Question 5

How often are these plan prices updated?
