Seedance API: models, pricing and quickstart

List rate on the KreatorFlow API: $0.110 at 720p, $0.240 at 1080p and $0.580 at 4K, per second of delivered video, billed from prepaid tokens with no subscription. Volume price (from $5,000 in top-ups over 30 days): $0.099 at 720p, $0.216 at 1080p and $0.522 at 4K. Every job is quoted before it runs.

At the list rate a 5 second clip at 720p is $0.55 and a 10 second clip at 1080p is $2.40. A clip's total is rounded up to whole tokens ($0.05), so the clip price can sit a cent or two above rate times seconds.

As of 10 November 2026, the KreatorFlow API has the lowest listed price at 720p and 1080p for Seedance 2.0 (10 other providers list it), at our list rate, among the 11 API providers in the Seedance API Price Index. Every competitor price is the provider's regular list price, read on its own page; temporary promotions are listed separately and not used for ranking. Each row shows its check date. The full table, with every source and check date, is the Seedance API Price Index.

No. Tokens are reserved when a job is accepted and released if it fails or is refused, so you pay only for delivered video.

Yes, on the KreatorFlow API. You prepay tokens at $0.05 each from a $20 top-up, with no subscription or contract, and each job is charged by the second of video: a 5-second Seedance 2.0 clip is $0.55 at 720p and $1.20 at 1080p. That makes the KreatorFlow API the cheapest for Seedance 2.0 at 720p and 1080p against all 11 other API providers we track (regular list prices, checked 25 October 2026 to 10 November 2026). Failed jobs give their tokens back. In the studio app, 1080p is on every paid plan and 4K video needs Pro, Max or Business, and one-time credit packs (from $8 for 160 credits) top a plan up. KreatorFlow is an official partner of BytePlus, a ByteDance company.

It is KreatorFlow's own API. KreatorFlow is an official partner of BytePlus, a ByteDance company, and it sends your requests to Seedance and Seedream behind stable KreatorFlow model aliases and one KreatorFlow key.

Usage is billed in prepaid tokens, and 1 token costs $0.05. A 5-second 720p Seedance 2.0 clip is 11 tokens (24 at 1080p and 58 at 4K), a Seedance 2.0 Fast clip of the same length is 9 tokens, and a Seedream 4.5 image is 2 tokens, all at the list rate. Top-ups run from $20 to $5000.

Yes. Upload images with POST /v1/uploads and pass the returned upload ids as references, or send public HTTPS URLs. Seedream 4.5 through kreator-image-pro accepts up to 14 references, and reusable characters can be registered once with POST /v1/characters.

Both work. Pass webhook_url on a create request to receive job.completed, job.failed, job.canceled and job.blocked callbacks, signed with X-KreatorFlow-Signature using the secret from the Webhooks tab. Or poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id}.

Tokens are reserved when a job starts and released when it fails, times out or is rejected before dispatch, so you are not charged for failed work. Sending a request again with the same Idempotency-Key returns the original job instead of creating a duplicate, so network retries are safe; use a new key for a fresh attempt.

Yes. Once your paid top-ups in the last 30 days reach $1,000, Seedance video costs up to 5% less per second, rising to up to 10% off at $5,000 (Enterprise), and your video request limit goes up with each tier. It applies automatically, with no contract, and each job's quote shows your price before it runs. For more volume than that, email harry@kreatorflow.ai.
