What Higgsfield is doing should be illegal, you should not be allowed to scam normal unaware users like this.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Genjutsu Lite” is Wan 3.0.<\/div>\n
“Genjutsu” is Seedance 2.5.\"image1.png\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They rename other companies’ models and sell them as their own. Here is every proof, from their own API docs<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-> Genjutsu Lite = Wan 3.0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u2022 Pricing: 480p $0.05 \/ 720p $0.10 \/ 1080p $0.20 per sec<\/div>\n
\u2022 Out of 40+ models on their API, only ONE other has this exact pricing: Wan 3.0<\/div>\n
\u2022 Resolutions: 480p \/ 720p \/ 1080p, same as Wan 3.0<\/div>\n
\u2022 References: Lite takes 1 video + 8 images. Wan 3.0 takes 5 videos + 10 images. Lite is Wan 3.0 with a fixed prompt and settings locked<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-> Genjutsu = Seedance 2.5<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u2022 Reference images: Genjutsu takes up to 30. Seedance 2.5 takes exactly 30. Wan caps at 10<\/div>\n
\u2022 Video length: Genjutsu takes 4\u201330s. Seedance 2.5 is exactly 4\u201330s<\/div>\n
\u2022 Price: $0.318 \/ $0.681 \/ $1.632 per sec, which is Seedance 2.5 video-edit pricing + ~20\u201330% markup<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-> It’s not just Genjutsu<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u2022 Cinema Studio 4.0: $0.2057 \/ $0.4623 per sec<\/div>\n
\u2022 Seedance 2.5: $0.2056 \/ $0.4622 per sec<\/div>\n
\u2022 That’s Seedance 2.5 again<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u2022 “3.5x cheaper” isn’t a breakthrough. They swapped Seedance 2.5 for Wan 3.0, a cheaper model, and called it “Lite”<\/div>\n
\u2022 Real Wan is listed as alibaba\/wan-3.0. The same model is sold as higgsfield\/genjutsu-light<\/div>\n
\u2022 They never tell you what’s underneath<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I have never seen such a big company being untruthful to their users outright like this.\"image0.png\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
