The short answer
Start with the input you have, the result you want and your budget. These are the differences that affect that choice.
- At 480p the two cost exactly the same, so price is not the deciding field here.
- MiniMax H3 LoRA runs to 15 seconds in one request; MiniMax H3 360 Orbit stops at 6, so anything longer has to be stitched together.
- Both are listed as Uncensored. Compare the examples and content-test details on each model page for the scenes you want to create.
Compare the published examples, then try the same input on both models with matching settings.

About this comparison
Controls and limits
Every row here is read from the JSON Schema the endpoint validates against, so it matches what the API will really accept rather than a feature list written by hand.

Do low-filter models allow every request?
Content policy, side by side
Two separate facts sit behind these labels. The first is what we do, which is nothing: no platform content filter, and no maturity flag to set on a request. The second is what each model does on its own, and that is the only part that varies between these two.
MiniMax H3 360 Orbit
Uncensored
This model declares no content filter. SpicyAPI forwards the request without adding a platform content scan; legal and consent duties remain with the customer.
MiniMax H3 LoRA
Uncensored
This model declares no content filter. SpicyAPI forwards the request without adding a platform content scan; legal and consent duties remain with the customer.
Use these content labels to shortlist models, then open each model page for available examples and content-test details.
The label never changes your obligations. Age, consent, real-person likeness and the law where you operate stay with you, and SpicyAPI does not inspect each request.
Can I swap the model ID without changing the request body?
Request body, field by field
The task lifecycle is shared; the body is not. Each endpoint publishes its own JSON Schema and the API validates against that, so this is the list to reconcile before a switch.
- 4 fields appear in both request bodies under the same names. duration_seconds, image_url, resolution, seed
- MiniMax H3 360 Orbit accepts no field the other one lacks.
- Only MiniMax H3 LoRA accepts: last_image_url, loras, prompt.
- MiniMax H3 360 Orbit requires image_url.
- MiniMax H3 LoRA requires image_url, prompt.
- Both reject unknown fields outright, so a parameter left over from the other model comes back as a validation error instead of being quietly ignored.
Compare
Moving from one to the other
The model identifiers are minimax/h3-360-orbit/image-to-video and minimax/h3-lora/image-to-video, and both go in the same field of the same request.
Both run the same way: submit the task, then poll it or take the callback. Queueing and retry logic carry over unchanged.
Both use the same submit-and-track flow, but their required inputs may differ. Check each model page before switching.
One key, one balance, one set of spend caps. Both bill to the same account in US dollars, and the per-key daily, monthly and lifetime limits apply to whichever one you call.
Questions developers ask
Which is cheaper, MiniMax H3 360 Orbit or MiniMax H3 LoRA?
Which is cheaper, MiniMax H3 360 Orbit or MiniMax H3 LoRA?
At 480p the two cost exactly the same, so price is not the deciding field here. Prices may change; check the estimate shown for your actual settings before submitting.
How long can a single request run?
MiniMax H3 360 Orbit allows 60 minutes per task and MiniMax H3 LoRA allows 60. Those are ceilings rather than typical times — most requests finish far sooner — but they are what your own client timeout has to survive.
