What it costs
300 credits in total
Seedance 2.0, 720p, 5 s: 15 credits per clip
Video generation starts on the Creator plan, so credit packs alone only cover images.
On each plan
Monthly credits renew with the plan. The price per clip is the renewal price divided by the plan's credits, times the credits of one clip.
| Plan | Credits a month | Clips covered | Price per clip | Monthly cost | First month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Creator | 500includes up to 100 bonus credits | 33 | $0.75 | $25 | $19 |
| Pro | 1,000includes up to 200 bonus credits | 66 | $0.74 | $49 | $35 |
| Max | 2,000includes up to 400 bonus credits | 133 | $0.74 | $99 | $70 |
Credit packs
One-time packs that never renew. Buy them on top of a plan when a month runs out.
The same credits as packs only: 2 × 160-credit pack for $16.
Packs top up a plan for video; on their own they cover images.
On the developer API
The API bills prepaid tokens instead of credits, with no subscription. Tokens for a failed job are released.
- 17 tokens per clip
- 340 tokens in total, $17.
Top-ups start at $20.
Credits per 5-second clip
What the video studio charges for one 5-second clip, by model and resolution. Longer clips cost proportionally more.

API tokens per 5-second clip
What the developer API charges for the same clip, in prepaid tokens of $0.05 each. A dash means the API does not offer that setting.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 | 8 | 17 | 41 | 162 |

How the costs work
Everything in the studio is paid in credits, and the studio shows the cost before each generation. If a generation fails, its credits come back automatically.
Plans add credits every month and renew until you cancel. Credit packs are one-time and never renew, so they top up a plan in a busy month.
1080p and 4K video need the Pro plan or above. Video generation starts on the Creator plan; packs on their own cover images.
The developer API is billed separately in prepaid tokens, with no subscription.
