|---|---|---|
| Lowest Seedance 2.5 price per second | Dreamina (annual plan) | About $0.097/s at 720p on the annual Advanced plan; requires an annual commitment and an eligible region |

The lowest price per second does not always produce the lowest finished-video cost. Retries can materially increase real cost, especially for advertising and ecommerce workflows.
20 generations × $0.80 = $16 total spend. At a 50% usable rate, 10 clips are usable and cost $1.60 each.
Illustrative only; this is not an AISeedance25 success-rate claim.
Pay-as-you-go APIs have the lowest unit prices without a subscription — Atlas Cloud at $0.134/s and Segmind at $0.1065–$0.2389/s — but need an integration before the first clip. Web apps cost more per second and trade that for a ready workflow. Include unused credits, integration effort and volume.
Read the Seedance 2.5 API guideWe compare the published price per second of 720p Seedance 2.5 output, because every provider can be normalised to it. Subscription prices are the provider's own effective rate per second; API prices are the listed per-second or per-token rate.
Each third-party figure names its source and date. Figures one provider reports about another are labelled as reported, not verified. Expired promotions are excluded from the ranking.
AISeedance25 figures come from the live pricing catalog (last changed 2026-10-20) and the same credit rates the generator charges.
AISeedance25 uses credit-based pricing. Every generation shows the estimated credit cost before you submit, and credits for failed generations are returned.
“Unlimited” Seedance access sounds cheaper until you look at fair-use caps, 720p locks, concurrency limits, and promo expiry dates. Credit-based pricing gives you the actual cost per clip before you spend.
