What does the KreatorFlow video API cost per second?
Billed in prepaid tokens of $0.05, per second of output video, from the developer API rate card:
| Model | 480p | 720p | 1080p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 | $0.076/s | $0.110/s | $0.240/s | $0.580/s |
| Seedance 2.5 | $0.143/s | $0.207/s | $0.444/s | $0.999/s |

Which APIs are not listed, and why?
- Settings where another provider costs the same or less than the KreatorFlow API (for example Veo 3.1 Lite and Luma Ray3.2 at 720p).
- Kling: its developer pricing page only renders in a browser session, so no official figure was read for this comparison (checked 17 October 2026).
- MiniMax Hailuo: its API is priced at 768p and 2K only (platform.minimax.io, read 17 October 2026), so there is no like-for-like setting.
- OpenAI Sora: its API was shut down on 24 September 2026.

How we compared
Every competitor price was read on the provider's own pricing page on the date shown under each table. KreatorFlow prices come from the developer API rate card, the same code that quotes and bills your jobs. Different models are named as different models. Rows appear only where KreatorFlow costs less; percentages are rounded down. Built on BytePlus, ByteDance's official AI platform.
