Segmind Seedance alternative

Segmind Seedance alternative: the KreatorFlow API

Segmind bills ByteDance's Seedance by video token and prints the per-second price that works out to at each resolution. Against those printed prices, the KreatorFlow API costs less at Seedance 2.0 at 720p, 1080p and 4K, and Seedance 2.5 at 720p and 1080p: a 5-second Seedance 2.0 clip at 720p is $0.55 here and $0.76 on Segmind. Below: the prices, how each side bills, and what changes when you move a Segmind request over.

Where the KreatorFlow API costs less than Segmind

Price per 5-second clip and per second of video, 16:9, no video input. KreatorFlow rounds each job to the next whole token, so the per-clip price is what you are charged. Segmind is shown at the price on its own model page. Only settings where KreatorFlow costs less are listed: 5 here, between 12% and 57% less per clip.

  • Same model, resolution and clip length on both sides, at Segmind's published pay-as-you-go price before tax. Promotions are left out on both sides.
  • Prices in US dollars. Settings where KreatorFlow does not cost less are not listed.
  • Segmind is shown at the 16:9 per-second price its pricing page prints, without reference videos, which it bills on top. Its Seedance 2.0 Fast price may be a promotion, so Fast is not compared.

Switching from Segmind

What changes in a Seedance request when you move it from Segmind to the KreatorFlow API. Segmind's side is described as its own API docs show it, with the link below.

  1. Send the job to POST https://kreatorflow.ai/v1/videos instead of POST https://api.segmind.com/v2/seedance-2.0.
  2. Authenticate with Authorization: Bearer $KREATORFLOW_API_KEY, a key from the developer console, instead of x-api-key: $SEGMIND_API_KEY.
  3. Name the model in the body: "kreator-video-seedance-2" for Seedance 2.0, "kreator-video-seedance-2-5" for Seedance 2.5.
  4. Keep the flat JSON body: prompt, resolution, duration, aspect_ratio and generate_audio keep their names.
  5. Use a clip length of 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15 seconds.
  6. Send generate_audio: true if you want audio: it is on by default there and off by default here.
  7. Replace GET https://api.segmind.com/v2/requests/{id}/status, then GET https://api.segmind.com/v2/requests/{id} with webhook_url (signed with X-KreatorFlow-Signature) or GET /v1/jobs/{job_id}, and add an Idempotency-Key header so a retried request returns the same job.

What the KreatorFlow API includes

  • KreatorFlow is an official partner of BytePlus, a ByteDance company, and the API runs ByteDance's Seedance models through BytePlus.
  • One API key for every model, with scoped permissions.
  • Signed webhooks for job.completed, job.failed, job.canceled and job.blocked, or poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id}.
  • Prepaid tokens from a $20 top-up, no subscription. Tokens reserved for a job that fails are released back to your balance.

FAQ

Is the KreatorFlow API cheaper than Segmind for Seedance?

At every setting in the table, yes: Seedance 2.0 at 720p, 1080p and 4K, and Seedance 2.5 at 720p and 1080p, between 12% and 57% less per clip. For example, Seedance 2.0 at 720p is $0.110 per second on KreatorFlow against $0.151 on Segmind: $0.55 against $0.76 for a 5-second clip. Settings where Segmind costs the same or less are not listed.

Is it the same Seedance model?

Both APIs sell ByteDance's Seedance under that name. KreatorFlow is an official partner of BytePlus, a ByteDance company.

How does KreatorFlow API billing work?

You buy prepaid tokens (1 token = $0.05, top-ups from $20). A video job costs its per-second rate times the clip length, rounded to the next whole token. Tokens reserved for a failed job are released.

Segmind uses an x-api-key header. What does KreatorFlow use?

Authorization: Bearer $KREATORFLOW_API_KEY, with a key from the developer console. Segmind names the model in the URL (/v2/seedance-2.0); on KreatorFlow every video job goes to POST /v1/videos and the model is a field in the JSON body.

Segmind defaults to a 10-second clip. Which lengths does KreatorFlow take?

The KreatorFlow API takes Seedance 2.0 clips of 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15 seconds, the same lengths Segmind's model page lists. Send duration on every request rather than relying on a default, so the clip you pay for is the one you asked for.

Do I still poll for results?

You can: poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} the way you poll Segmind's /v2/requests/{id}/status. Or pass webhook_url and receive a signed callback (X-KreatorFlow-Signature) when the job completes, fails, is canceled or is blocked.

Is KreatorFlow part of Segmind?

No. KreatorFlow is an independent company with no connection to Segmind.
