Scored 9.6 / 10 by CompanionCue.
Who it suits
- Adults who want image and video generation at a very low monthly cost
- Creators who want both lighter and heavier options side by side: free and premium
- People whose projects do not need output above 2K
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for you if you would rather commit to one set subscription price: SecretDesires.ai lists $7.99 a month.
- Not for you if a higher monthly budget is not an obstacle: Wordtune lists $9.99 a month.
Pricing and free tier
Pricing is the simplest part of the picture. The monthly price is $0.024, and 20 free generations daily is included, so short personal projects can be made without a subscription. The paid tier is where heavier work and repeated sessions sit, which makes that daily allowance a useful test bed before you spend anything.
Who runs it
Tencent Hunyuan is run under a formal legal entity rather than as an independent studio. The legal entity is Tencent Holdings Ltd., headquartered in China and founded in 1998. Support is limited to help centre, so most questions are answered through self service documentation.

Frequently asked questions
How much is Tencent Hunyuan a month?+
The monthly price is $0.024, so a full month of use costs less than most paid subscriptions in this category. It is an easy budget for adults who want to keep image and video generation running without a big monthly commitment.
Is there a free tier, and how much can I make on it?+
You get 20 free generations daily included. That is enough to try prompts, compare settings and see whether the output suits your project before you spend anything. The paid plan at $0.024 a month takes over when you need longer or more frequent sessions.
Can I use what I make commercially?+
Commercial use is allowed, so images and video you make can go into paid work, portfolios or client projects. Because the monthly price is $0.024 and you get 20 free generations daily, you can test commercially usable output cheaply before scaling up.
What resolution do the images come out at?+
The maximum resolution is 2K. That is the ceiling listed for the model, so plan your output size around it. If you need very large files for printing or long form video work, check that 2K still fits before you commit to a paid month.
Who is behind the model?+
The service is run by Tencent Holdings Ltd., headquartered in China and founded in 1998. Knowing the operator matters for an adult tool, because privacy questions and account problems go to one identifiable company. Image and video generation both sit under that same owner.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on help centre. That means self service answers and documentation rather than a live chat line or a phone number. For adults who want a quick human reply, a brand with chat or email support may suit you better.
Can it make video as well as images?+
Video generation is available alongside still images, so you can stay in one account for both. The same plan priced at $0.024 a month covers it, and the model list under free and premium shows both lighter and heavier options to work with.
Which model options can I choose from?+
Both options are listed: free and premium. The lower priced one is enough for light work, while the premium one suits heavier jobs. You also have 20 free generations daily as a daily allowance, so you can compare output before choosing.
