Is Seedance worth it?
Use a three-part decision framework rather than a subjective recommendation: compare the cost of one finished video with the per-credit rate for your billing option, then check the commercial-use terms against your intended publishing or client workflow. Review the commercial-use terms.

How do annual plan credits work?
Annual plans are charged once per year and issue the displayed credit allowance each subscription month. The full annual credit total is not issued upfront.
Do subscription credits roll over?
No. Each monthly subscription allowance expires at the next subscription-month boundary. Use a one-time credit pack when you need a longer-lived balance.
When do credit packs expire?
One-time credit packs are valid for 365 days from purchase, except the trial pack, which is valid for 30 days. Credits are consumed using first-expiring-first-out accounting.
Can I cancel a subscription?
Yes. Recurring billing can be canceled from the billing page. Access and credit grants follow the status and end date returned by the active payment provider.
Are the generation costs fixed?
The table reflects the current planning rates. Model, duration, resolution, provider pricing, and available routes can change, so the quote shown before generation is authoritative.
