Lowest published cost for this setup
Seedance 2.0 Mini uses the fewest credits for these settings.
If your project fits Mini's duration and resolution limits, you can start with the lower-cost route and move to another Seedance model only when your workflow requires different capabilities.

Monthly billing: $29.90/month

Annual plans are billed once per year and credits are issued monthly. Subscription credits do not roll over.
View plansWhat can 100 signup credits cover?
New AISeedance25 accounts currently receive 100 signup credits without requiring a credit card. The signup balance is useful for exploring the workspace, but it does not cover the current lowest published full-generation example: a 5-second Seedance 2.0 Mini 480p generation costs about 156.938 credits.

Which Seedance model is the cheapest?
For the configurations with published AISeedance25 rates, Seedance 2.0 Mini is currently the lowest-cost option. At 480p, Mini uses 31.3876 credits per second, compared with 50.848 credits per second for Seedance 2.0 Fast and 62.775 credits per second for Seedance 2.0.
At 720p, the current published rates are 67.5 credits per second for Mini, 109.35 for Fast, and 135 for Seedance 2.0.
Cost is only one constraint. Mini currently supports shorter 4–15 second output at 480p or 720p on AISeedance25. If your project requires a longer single generation or a Seedance 2.5-specific workflow, compare the lower-cost route with Seedance 2.5 before deciding.
How much does Seedance 2.0 Mini cost?
Seedance 2.0 Mini currently uses 31.3876 credits per second at 480p and 67.5 credits per second at 720p on AISeedance25. A 5-second attempt therefore costs 156.938 credits at 480p or 337.5 credits at 720p before retry budgeting.
Seedance 2.0 Mini vs Seedance 2.5: when should you spend more?
Seedance 2.0 Mini is the natural starting point when your priority is keeping generation cost low and your clip fits within its current duration and resolution limits.
Seedance 2.5 serves a different workflow. On AISeedance25 it currently supports 4–30 second generation at 480p or 720p and is designed for more reference-driven Seedance workflows. Its published planning benchmark is 2,512 credits for one 5-second 720p generation, about $7.51 on annual billing. The live quote shown before submission remains authoritative.
A practical workflow is to use the lowest-cost model that satisfies the production requirement. If Mini can produce the shot you need, start there. If the job needs a longer single clip or Seedance 2.5-specific capabilities, switch to Seedance 2.5 and review its live quote before generating.

| Seedance 2.0 Mini | 4–15s | 480p / 720p | 31.3876 credits/s | 67.5 credits/s | Published planning rate | Lower-cost short generation and iteration |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 4–15s | 480p / 720p | 50.848 credits/s | 109.35 credits/s | Published rate for 480p / 720p; live quote where required | Faster iteration workflows |

| Seedance 2.5 | 4–30s | 480p / 720p | Live estimate required | 2,512 credits / 5s | 5s · 720p · ≈ $7.51 annual; live quote authoritative | Longer and reference-driven workflows |
These are AISeedance25 platform rates and availability, not official ByteDance pricing. The live generator quote is authoritative when it differs from a planning example.
How retries change your real Seedance cost
The price of one generation attempt is not always the same as the cost of one usable video. If some attempts need to be retried, the number of credits required for a finished project increases.
This calculator treats the retry rate as the estimated share of attempts that will need another generation. For example, a project that needs 10 usable videos with an estimated 20% retry rate budgets for 13 attempts rather than 10.
The result is an estimate, not a promise of model failure rate. AISeedance25 does not currently claim a universal Seedance retry or success rate. Actual results depend on the prompt, source material, model, settings, and production goal.
How to reduce Seedance generation cost
Start with the lowest-cost model that meets the brief
If a short 480p or 720p clip fits your workflow, compare Seedance 2.0 Mini before paying for a more expensive route.
Test short before generating long
Validate the subject, camera direction, motion, and composition with a shorter generation before spending credits on a longer clip.
Budget for retries
A plan that covers only the theoretical minimum can run out of credits when a project needs additional attempts.
Choose the right way to buy credits
Use one-time packs for isolated projects and compare subscriptions when generation becomes a recurring monthly workflow.
Seedance cost calculator FAQ
What is the cheapest Seedance model on AISeedance25?
Among the Seedance routes with published planning rates on AISeedance25, Seedance 2.0 Mini is currently the lowest-cost option. Its published rate starts at 31.3876 credits per second for 480p and 67.5 credits per second for 720p. The Seedance 2.5 benchmark is 2,512 credits for one 5-second 720p generation, about $7.51 on annual billing.
How much does a 5-second Seedance 2.0 Mini video cost?
At the current published AISeedance25 planning rate, a 5-second Seedance 2.0 Mini generation costs about 156.938 credits at 480p or 337.5 credits at 720p. The live quote shown before generation is authoritative if pricing changes.
Is Seedance 2.0 Mini cheaper than Seedance 2.5?
Seedance 2.0 Mini has the lowest fixed published rates in the current AISeedance25 Seedance 2.0 family table. The calculator also publishes a Seedance 2.5 benchmark of 2,512 credits for one 5-second 720p generation, about $7.51 on annual billing. Compare like-for-like supported settings and confirm the live quote before deciding.
How many 5-second Seedance 2.0 Mini videos can I make with 5,000 credits?
At the current 480p planning rate of about 156.938 credits per 5-second attempt, 5,000 credits cover up to 31 attempts before accounting for retries or future pricing changes.
Are 100 signup credits enough for a Seedance video?
Not for the current lowest published full-generation example. A 5-second Seedance 2.0 Mini 480p generation is about 156.938 credits. The generator shows the credit estimate for your chosen settings before you submit, so you can see the cost before committing.
How does the retry rate affect Seedance cost?
The calculator uses your retry assumption to estimate how many attempts may be needed to reach your target number of usable videos. A higher retry assumption increases the estimated total credits and the credits per usable output. It is a budgeting assumption, not a claimed Seedance failure rate.
Seedance 2.0 Mini or Seedance 2.0 Fast — which costs less?
At the currently published 480p and 720p AISeedance25 rates, Seedance 2.0 Mini uses fewer credits per second than Seedance 2.0 Fast. Choose between them based on both cost and the workflow you need rather than price alone.
Seedance 2.0 Mini or Seedance 2.0 — which should I use?
Mini is the lower-cost published option for supported 480p and 720p short-generation workflows. Seedance 2.0 provides additional resolution options on AISeedance25. If Mini satisfies the project requirements, it is the lower-cost place to start; otherwise compare the available Seedance 2.0 settings and live quote.
When should I use Seedance 2.5 instead of Mini?
Use Seedance 2.5 when the project requires a Seedance 2.5 workflow, especially a single generation longer than Mini's current 15-second maximum or the reference-driven workflow exposed by the 2.5 route. The published benchmark is 2,512 credits for 5 seconds at 720p on annual billing; review the live credit quote before submitting.
Should I buy a Seedance subscription or one-time credits?
Use the calculator's one-time recommendation for an isolated project and compare subscription allowances when the same level of generation becomes a recurring monthly need. Annual subscriptions have a lower monthly-equivalent price on AISeedance25 but are billed once per year, while one-time credit packs remain valid for 365 days under the current pricing terms.
What fixed Seedance 2.5 price does the calculator use?
The published planning benchmark is 2,512 credits for one 5-second Seedance 2.5 generation at 720p, about $7.51 on annual billing. Other durations, resolutions, routes, and billing methods can differ, so the live quote shown before submission remains authoritative.
Can the calculator estimate 1080p or 4K Seedance cost?
Only when the selected model supports that resolution and AISeedance25 has an authoritative current quote for it. The published fixed reference rates currently cover 480p and 720p for the Seedance 2.0 family shown on the Pricing page. The calculator must not estimate missing higher-resolution rates by scaling lower-resolution prices.
