The short answer
GoCrazyAI wins 2 of the 3 rounds a number or a yes/no can decide, Hailuo takes 1. In the Best AI video generators guide GoCrazyAI is #1 (Best overall) and Hailuo is #6 (Best open model).
GoCrazyAI wins
2 / 3
Our own studio takes the top spot because it puts the leading engines behind one subscription from $9.99 a week: Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0 Prime, MiniMax H3, HappyHorse, Kling 4.0 behind the trend templates, and Veo 3.1, Kling O3 and Grok Imagine in the classic AI Video Generator. Pick an engine per shot, run 30-second takes with sound, then extend, merge and upscale, with music on the same credits.
Hailuo wins
1 / 3
MiniMax H3 leads the open-weights image-to-video board with audio and sits in the top five for text to video, yet it is one of the cheapest models to run, with 2K output and stereo sound. Because the weights are open it is available well beyond Hailuo, including in AI Video Pro.
