From the vendor's site: Vidu is the video generation platform from ShengShu, a Tsinghua-backed lab. It focuses on speed and on reference-to-video — give it one image of a character and it keeps that character consistent across new scenes and angles.
What it is
Vidu turns text or images into short video clips, with a speciality in keeping characters consistent. Upload a reference image, describe a new scene, and the rendered clip keeps the same face and styling. It is aimed at short narrative clips and character-driven social content.
Pricing

Verdict
Worth choosing when character consistency matters more than raw fidelity. Otherwise Kling and Hailuo lead on quality.
