Short answer
Yes. KreatorFlow is an official partner of BytePlus, a ByteDance company, and its Seedance API is pay as you go: you top up from $20 by card, with no deposit, no subscription, no contract and no monthly minimum, and pay per second of video. Seedance 2.0 at 720p is $0.110 a second, $0.55 for a 5-second clip. Tokens held for a job that fails go back to your balance. As of 30 October 2026.
Get started
Start with the Seedance API in three steps
- 1
Create an API key
Sign in to the KreatorFlow API console and create a key on the API keys tab (https://developers.kreatorflow.ai/?section=keys).
- 2
Top up $20
Add $20 or more by card. One token is $0.05, so $20 is 400 tokens. There is nothing to sign.
- 3
Send your first job
POST /v1/videos with a prompt, model, resolution and duration. The response quotes the price before the job runs, and you poll the job or get a webhook when it is done.
What each top-up buys

Do you need an enterprise deposit for Seedance?
Not on KreatorFlow. Some developers read that official Seedance access needs a large deposit or an enterprise contract. KreatorFlow is an official partner of BytePlus, a ByteDance company, and it sells the same ByteDance models through one REST API on prepaid tokens: the smallest top-up is $20.
If you want to buy straight from BytePlus instead, its account, billing and onboarding terms are on BytePlus's own site. We do not describe them here because they are BytePlus's to set.

What "no deposit" means here
The terms are in the code that bills every job:
- Top-ups come in fixed sizes from $20 to $5,000. You pick one when you need it.
- No subscription and no monthly minimum.
- Every job is quoted before it runs, and a job that fails, is blocked or times out is not charged.
- Volume pricing is automatic: from $1,000 in top-ups over 30 days, Seedance video costs up to 5% less, rising to up to 10% from $5,000. Nothing to sign.
What can $20 test?
About 36 Seedance 2.0 clips of 5 seconds at 720p, or more on Fast or Mini. That is enough to wire up an integration, try your prompts and check quality before you top up again.
