Short answer
You can use Seedance on KreatorFlow (the website, the developer API, or inside Claude and ChatGPT through MCP), on ByteDance's own cloud, BytePlus ModelArk, on studios such as Higgsfield and Magnific (Freepik), and on APIs such as fal.ai, Replicate and Atlas Cloud. For a 5-second Seedance 2.0 clip at 720p and 1080p, the KreatorFlow API had the lowest price of the APIs we checked on 30 October 2026 ($0.55 and $1.20).

Not every route sells every Seedance model at every resolution. The table shows what each lists.
- 3

How to use Seedance in Claude or ChatGPT
Add the KreatorFlow MCP server (https://kreatorflow.ai/api/mcp) as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT and sign in with your KreatorFlow account. Then ask for a video in the chat: the assistant starts the clip on your account and replies with the link. Each clip spends your plan credits, the same as in the studio.
- Open your assistant's connector settings and add https://kreatorflow.ai/api/mcp.
- Sign in to KreatorFlow when asked and allow access.
- Ask for a clip, for example: make a 5-second 9:16 Seedance video of a cat surfing at sunset.
BytePlus ModelArk and KreatorFlow
BytePlus ModelArk is ByteDance's own cloud. It bills Seedance per million tokens, and the tokens depend on the video's size, frame rate and length, so there is no flat price per clip. Its pricing page has the current rates.
KreatorFlow is an official partner of BytePlus, a ByteDance company, so every Seedance clip on KreatorFlow runs on ByteDance's own models through BytePlus.
