Seedance 2.0 Fast pricing is based on input type, resolution (480p or 720p), aspect ratio, and video duration (4–15 seconds). Billing is token-based on the generated video. Rates are ~20% lower than Seedance 2.0, optimized for high-throughput workflows and rapid iteration.
There are two input modes:
- •Text / Image-to-video — generate from a text prompt or reference image(s). Both use the same rate; per-second cost is stable for a given resolution and aspect ratio.
- •Video-to-video — generate using a reference video clip. Billed at a lower per-token rate, but the reference video adds tokens, so the effective per-second cost is variable and typically comparable to (or slightly above) text/image.
Text / Image-to-video — Per-Second Rates
| Resolution | 16:9 | 4:3 | 1:1 | 3:4 | 9:16 | 21:9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | $0.0562/s | $0.0553/s | $0.0538/s | $0.0553/s | $0.0562/s | $0.0562/s |
| 720p | $0.1210/s | $0.1217/s | $0.1210/s | $0.1217/s | $0.1210/s | $0.1216/s |
Video-to-video — Typical Rates
| Resolution | Typical | Range |
|---|---|---|
| 480p | ~$0.06/s | $0.055 – $0.08/s |
| 720p | ~$0.13/s | $0.12 – $0.17/s |
Quick Cost Examples
| Input Type | Resolution | Aspect Ratio | Duration | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Text / Image-to-video | 480p | 16:9 | 5s | $0.28 |
| Text / Image-to-video | 720p | 16:9 | 5s | $0.60 |
| Text / Image-to-video | 720p | 16:9 | 10s | $1.21 |
| Video-to-video | 480p | 16:9 | 5s | ~$0.30 |
| Video-to-video | 720p | 16:9 | 5s | ~$0.65 |
Important Notes
- •Audio is free — enabling audio generation does not affect pricing.
- •Text / Image-to-video scales linearly — a 10s clip costs exactly 2× a 5s clip at the same resolution and aspect ratio.
- •Video-to-video cost varies with your reference video — a longer or higher-resolution input adds tokens, so cost doesn't scale on output duration alone.
- •Resolution is the main cost lever — aspect-ratio impact is minimal.
Cost Optimization Tips
- •Fast vs Standard — Seedance 2.0 Fast is ~20% cheaper, ideal for prototyping and batch rendering.
- •480p for drafts, 720p for delivery.
- •Keep reference videos short for video-to-video — input length feeds the token count.
- •Choose aspect ratio by platform — cost difference is negligible.
Example Scenario
A pipeline generating 50 draft clips/day at 16:9, 480p, 5 seconds (text-to-video) costs about $14.06/day ($0.281 × 50), or roughly $422/month.
