Duration is the first fork
Wan 3.0 generation accepts 2–30 seconds in one pass. Wan 2.7 workspaces stay in the familiar 5 / 10 / 15 second tiers for everyday drafts.
Version compare
Wan 3.0 vs Wan 2.7
Wan 3.0 is the newer Wan video line for longer clips, native audio, first/last-frame guidance, and reference-to-video. Wan 2.7 remains the production default on wan27-ai.com for fast 5–15s 1080p drafts. Choose the version that matches the shot, not the newest number by habit.
Audio and frames
Wan 3.0 can enable native audio and take a last-frame image. Use those controls when a shot needs sound or a planned ending still.
Two studios, one cluster
This page keeps you on wan30.art for Wan 3.0. The reciprocal compare page on wan27-ai.com keeps Wan 2.7 users from bouncing into a dead end.
When Wan 3.0 is the better default
Pick Wan 3.0 for a 20–30 second scene, a product beat that needs synced sound, a shot that must start and end on specific stills, or a character you want to lock with reference images or a driving clip. Those are the jobs that made Wan 3.0 a separate page cluster.
When Wan 2.7 is still the right tool
Stay on Wan 2.7 when you already have a 2.7 prompt library, you only need a 5–15 second 1080p sketch, or you rely on Wan 2.7 extend and edit tools. Newer is not automatically cheaper or faster for short social tests.

Wan 3.0 vs Wan 2.7 FAQ
Should I switch every project to Wan 3.0?
No. Switch when you need longer clips, native audio, first/last-frame control, or reference-to-video. Keep Wan 2.7 for short 1080p iteration.
Does Wan 3.0 replace Wan 2.7?
Not on this cluster. Wan 3.0 is the newer capability set. Wan 2.7 stays live for creators who already publish on that workflow.
Which model is cheaper?
Credits scale with duration, resolution, and options. A 30-second Wan 3.0 clip costs more than a 5-second Wan 2.7 draft. Check pricing before a long batch.
Can I move a Wan 2.7 prompt to Wan 3.0?
Yes. Reuse the scene, camera, and subject language, then add duration, audio, or end-frame instructions only if the shot needs them.
Is this comparing official Alibaba apps?
No. These are independent hosted studios for Wan 3.0 and Wan 2.7. The comparison is about the workflows each site delivers.
