Short answer
Use Seedance 2.0 for final shots and anything with references (up to 9 images, 3 clips and 3 audio clips), Seedance 2.0 Fast for cheap drafts, and Seedance 1.5 when one image must be the opening frame. Seedance 2.5 makes longer clips of up to 30 seconds. On KreatorFlow a 5-second clip at 720p costs 15 credits with Seedance 2.0 and 12 with Fast.

Frequently asked questions
Which model is the best?
The one that fits the job. Draft with Fast, finish with Seedance 2.0, and use Seedance 1.5 when the first frame must match an image exactly.
Can I use the same prompt with different models?
Yes. Draft the prompt with Fast, then render it again with Seedance 2.0 for the final. Each render is a new take, so expect small differences.
