Decision factorWhat to verify
Best suited toDevelopers who can integrate Alibaba Cloud's API, versus creators and teams who want a hosted video workspace without an integration project.
Image and videoWan 3.0 is a video model reached through an API. Imgo hosts several video models, plus image generation and editing for the frames that feed them.
References and editingWan 3.0 takes up to 10 images, 5 video clips, 5 audio clips and one document or link per request. Seedance 2.0 on Imgo takes image, video and audio references but no documents, and Imgo's video editor revises a finished clip by instruction.
Character and brand consistencyRun the same character and product references through both and inspect identity at the end of the clip, not only at the start: long takes are where drift shows.
API, batch, and teamWan 3.0 is API-first on Alibaba Cloud, and which models you can call depends on the region. Imgo exposes batch, team and API surfaces around the models it hosts.
Price and free useAlibaba Cloud bills Wan 3.0 per generated second in three resolution tiers, and Imgo does not price it. Imgo charges per generation from a live credit quote for the models it runs.

Where Wan 3.0 is strong

Wan 3.0 renders single takes of 2 to 30 seconds with native audio at up to 1080p, and reads documents, spreadsheets, slides and public web pages as references alongside up to 10 images, 5 video clips and 5 audio clips.

A reproducible test for your team

Suggested test conditions; no independent benchmark result is claimed.

Prompt

One continuous 15-second take, no cuts: a barista in a green apron pours latte art at a sunlit counter while the camera pushes in slowly from a medium shot to a close-up of the cup; steam rises and café ambience is audible.

Input and controls

Use the same barista reference image and 16:9 framing on both paths, generate three takes each, and keep every take; on Imgo, run Seedance 2.0 at 15 seconds.

Record these outcomes

  • Identity in the last second against the first
  • Camera move completed without a cut
  • Audio in sync with the pour
  • Cost per accepted take
