Seedance Pricing 2026: Plans from $28/Month, Credits & Cost
Updated August 27, 2026
If you only need the short answer: Seedance.tv paid plans currently start at $39 per month, or $28 per month when the Mini plan is billed annually. Eligible new accounts may receive starter credits, but Seedance.tv does not promise 100 free credits every day. The credit balance shown after sign-in is the source of truth.
Important: Seedance.tv is an independent browser-based AI creation platform. It is not the official ByteDance Seedance website or the official ByteDance API. This guide covers Seedance.tv plans only.

Is Seedance free?
You can create an account without entering a credit card. Eligible new accounts may receive a small starter-credit balance for an initial test. This is a one-time trial balance, not a promise of daily recurring credits or unlimited free video generation.
The number of videos you can create with starter credits depends on the selected model, duration, resolution, input mode and audio settings. Always review the live credit estimate before you generate.
Which plan should you choose?
Mini: best for occasional testing
Mini includes 400 credits per month and is the lowest-cost paid option. It fits creators who make a small number of drafts, test prompts or produce occasional social clips.
Standard: best for regular creators
Standard includes 1,600 credits per month. It is a better fit when you publish every week, compare several prompt variants or need a faster generation queue.
Plus: best for teams and frequent production
Plus includes 4,800 credits per month. Consider it when you produce multiple campaign variants, client drafts or a steady volume of product and social videos.
Max: best for high-volume and 4K workflows
Max includes 12,000 credits per month and lists 4K output. It is intended for larger production workloads where volume and higher-resolution delivery matter.
How video credits work
Credits are used across AI generation workflows. A video's cost is not fixed: it changes with the model, clip length, resolution, audio options and generation mode. The interface shows the exact estimate before submission.
For that reason, claims such as “400 credits equals 40 videos” are unreliable. A short 720p draft and a longer video with audio can consume very different amounts.
Monthly vs annual billing
Annual billing provides the lowest advertised monthly equivalent, but the full annual amount is charged upfront. Monthly billing costs more per month and provides greater flexibility.
Before choosing annual billing, confirm the checkout total, renewal terms and credit schedule on the live pricing page.
Seedance.tv pricing vs the official ByteDance API
These are different products and billing models:
- Seedance.tv provides a ready-to-use web interface with subscriptions and credits.
- ByteDance's official API and product pages are separate services with their own access requirements, pricing and documentation.
Do not assume a Seedance.tv subscription includes official ByteDance API access.
Frequently asked questions
Does Seedance.tv give 100 free credits every day?
No current plan should be described that way. Eligible new accounts may receive starter credits once. Check your signed-in balance for the amount currently available.
What is the cheapest paid plan?
Mini is currently the cheapest paid plan: $39 month-to-month, or an advertised equivalent of $28 per month when $336 is billed annually.
Do unused credits roll over?
Current pricing information says monthly credits do not roll over. Use them within the billing cycle and confirm the latest terms before subscribing.
Can generated videos be used commercially?
Current paid plans list commercial usage rights. You are still responsible for the rights to uploaded media, prompts, trademarks, likenesses and the way the final video is used.
Where can I verify the latest price?
Use the live pricing page. It should be treated as more current than screenshots, old reviews or cached search snippets.
Bottom line
Start by testing the workflow with any starter credits shown in your account. If the results fit your needs, choose Mini for light use, Standard for regular creation, Plus for frequent production or Max for high-volume 4K work. Base the decision on the live credit estimate and your real generation volume, not on outdated “daily free credits” claims.
