Seedance 2.0 Pricing 2026: Seedance.tv Plans vs Official API

Seedance 2.0 does not have one universal price. What you pay depends on where you access the model. Seedance.tv uses its own subscription-and-credit system, while ByteDance's official API and product channels have separate access, documentation and usage pricing.

Disclosure: Seedance.tv is an independent AI creation platform. It is not owned by ByteDance and is not the official ByteDance Seedance website or API.

Seedance.tv pricing for Seedance 2.0

Seedance.tv subscriptions cover credits that can be used across listed generation workflows. Current plans are:

Plan	Pay monthly	Annual equivalent	Included credits	Maximum listed output
Mini	$39/month	$28/month ($336 billed yearly)	400/month	720p
Standard	$80/month	$56/month ($672 billed yearly)	1,600/month	720p
Plus	$160/month	$112/month ($1,344 billed yearly)	4,800/month	720p
Max	$360/month	$252/month ($3,024 billed yearly)	12,000/month	4K

Check the live Seedance.tv pricing page before purchasing because prices and terms can change.

How much does one Seedance 2.0 video cost?

There is no single fixed credit cost. The estimate changes with:

Seedance 2.0 or Seedance 2.0 Fast;
text-to-video, image-to-video or reference mode;
clip duration;
output resolution;
input media length in reference workflows;
audio and other selected options.

The video workspace shows the exact credit estimate before submission. That number is more reliable than a static “cost per video” table because model routes and promotional pricing can change.

Can you try Seedance 2.0 for free?

You can create a Seedance.tv account without a credit card. Eligible new accounts may receive one-time starter credits. The balance shown after sign-in is the source of truth.

Starter credits are not a permanent free plan and do not refresh with 100 credits every day. Whether the balance covers a Seedance 2.0 generation depends on the current estimate and your selected settings.

Seedance.tv vs ByteDance official API pricing

The two pricing models should not be mixed:

Seedance.tv

Ready-to-use browser interface;
Seedance.tv account and subscriptions;
credits shared across supported workflows;
no code integration required;
current plan terms shown at checkout.

ByteDance official channels

first-party model information on ByteDance Seed;
separate API credentials and documentation;
usage billing defined by the relevant official provider or region;
developer integration and operational setup required.

A Seedance.tv subscription does not include official ByteDance API credits. Official API pricing also should not be presented as Seedance.tv subscription pricing.

Which plan fits Seedance 2.0 use?

Choose Mini for light testing

Mini can fit occasional drafts when 400 monthly credits and 720p output cover your workflow. Review the estimate before assuming how many Seedance 2.0 videos it will create.

Choose Standard for weekly creation

Standard provides 1,600 monthly credits and is a better starting point for repeat publishing, prompt comparisons and revision cycles.

Choose Plus for frequent production

Plus provides 4,800 monthly credits for teams, client work or higher-volume campaigns that require multiple attempts per usable result.

Choose Max for high volume or 4K output

Max provides 12,000 monthly credits and lists 4K output. It is the relevant tier when delivery resolution and production volume justify the higher subscription cost.

How to estimate your monthly cost

Generate three representative Seedance 2.0 jobs.
Record the credit estimate and actual charge for each attempt.
Count how many attempts are needed for one usable result.
Multiply that cost by the number of finished videos you need per month.
Add a revision buffer, then select the smallest plan that covers the range.

This calculation is more useful than relying on an advertised “videos per month” number.

Frequently asked questions

Is Seedance 2.0 free on Seedance.tv?

Eligible new accounts may receive one-time starter credits. This is a limited test balance, not a recurring daily-credit plan.

What is the cheapest Seedance.tv plan?

Mini is currently $39 month-to-month, or an advertised equivalent of $28 per month with annual billing.

Does one video always cost the same number of credits?

No. Model, mode, duration, resolution, reference inputs and audio settings can all change the cost. Check the estimate before submitting.

Does a Seedance.tv plan include ByteDance API access?

No. Seedance.tv subscriptions and official ByteDance API access are separate products with separate accounts and billing.

Where should I verify current pricing?

Use Seedance.tv's live pricing and checkout pages for its web subscriptions. Use official ByteDance or provider documentation for first-party API pricing.

Bottom line

For Seedance.tv, budget with the live credit estimate and current subscription table. For official API use, consult ByteDance's official product and provider documentation. Keeping those systems separate prevents incorrect price comparisons and unexpected billing assumptions.
