What it costs
300 credits in total
Seedance 2.0, 720p, 5 s: 15 credits per clip
Without a plan, credit packs cover images and video on Seedance 2 Fast and Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p only. Other video models and 720p and above need a plan.
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 | $15 |

| Max | 2,400includes up to 600 bonus credits | 160 | $0.62 | $99 | $60 |

The same credits as packs only: 2 × 160-credit pack for $16.
Without a plan, credit packs cover images and video on Seedance 2 Fast and Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p only. Other video models and 720p and above need a plan.

The sale price is the first month of a new Max subscription (or an upgrade) started by 31 Oct 2026, 23:59 UK time; the plan then renews at $99 a month. Every price on this page counts only the plan's guaranteed credits. Halloween bonus credits and daily bonus credits have to be claimed, so they are not counted. Clip credits are the studio's own prices. Developer API tokens are not part of the sale.
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.
| Model | 480p | 720p | 1080p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 | 8 | 11 | 24 | 58 |
| Seedance 2 Fast | 6 | 9 | 19 | – |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | 2 | 3 | 7 | – |

| Seedance 1.5 | – | – | – | – |
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. Without a plan, credit packs cover images and video on Seedance 2 Fast and Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p only. Other video models and 720p and above need a plan.
The developer API is billed separately in prepaid tokens, with no subscription.
Prefer to pay in crypto? Credit packs and plan months can be paid with USDT, USDC, Bitcoin, Ethereum and more. How paying with crypto works.
