Short answer

How to read a per-second price
- 1
Pick the model and resolution
The per-second rate depends on both. Seedance 2.0 Fast costs less than Seedance 2.0, and 1080p costs more than 720p because more pixels are generated.
- 2
Multiply by the clip length
Rate times seconds gives the price before rounding. The table shows the rate and, for KreatorFlow, the price of a 5 s clip.
- 3
Check the provider's rounding and extras
KreatorFlow rounds each API job up to the next whole token of $0.05. Some providers bill input video seconds as well, and some show account discounts or temporary promotions.
- 4
Compare like with like
Same model, resolution, length and aspect ratio, at the price your account would pay today. The Seedance API price comparison does this setting by setting.
Where KreatorFlow is cheaper, per second

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.
Where another provider is cheaper
KreatorFlow is not the cheapest everywhere. At these settings, at least one provider publishes a price per second that is lower than or equal to ours: Seedance 2.0 at 480p, Seedance 2.0 Fast at 480p and Seedance 2.5 at 480p. We do not print those prices; check the providers' own pages.
Methodology
Our prices come from the developer API rate card and the same job quote that bills you: a 5 s clip is the per-second rate times 5, rounded up to the next whole token of $0.05. Studio prices come from the studio's credit code and a plan's regular monthly price.
Every other price was read on the provider's own pricing or model page on the date shown next to its source, for 16:9 output without a video input. We compare like with like: the same model, resolution and length. Temporary promotions are left out. Higgsfield API shows signed-in accounts 15% off its list price; we compare against that lower account price. fal.ai prices its Seedance 2.0 per second with audio. Atlas Cloud showed a current discount, and we compare against the discounted price.
A provider is listed at a setting only where it publishes that setting and KreatorFlow costs less, per second and per clip. Prices are re-checked at least every 90 days.
