Seedance 2.0 Fast pricing is based on four factors: input type, resolution (480p or 720p), aspect ratio, and video duration (4–15 seconds). Costs are approximately 20% lower than Seedance 2.0, optimized for high-throughput workflows and rapid creative iteration.
There are two pricing tiers based on input type:
- •Text / Image-to-video — generate from a text prompt or a reference image. Both use the same rate.
- •Video-to-video — generate using a reference video clip, approximately 41% cheaper than text/image input because the model has more visual context to work with.
Per-Second Rates
Multiply by your clip duration to get the total cost.

Important Notes
- •Audio is free — enabling audio generation does not affect pricing.
- •Video-to-video billing: when using a reference video, the billed duration includes both the input video duration and the generated output. For example, a 3-second input clip + 5-second generation = 8 seconds billed at the video-to-video rate.
- •Duration scales linearly: a 10-second clip costs exactly 2× a 5-second clip at the same resolution and aspect ratio.
- •Aspect ratio impact is minimal — the real cost lever is resolution. Going from 480p to 720p more than doubles the cost.
Cost Optimization Tips
- •Fast vs Standard: Seedance 2.0 Fast is ~20% cheaper than Seedance 2.0 — ideal for prototyping, batch rendering, or volume-sensitive pipelines.
- •Use video-to-video when you have reference footage — it's ~41% cheaper and gives the model more context.
- •480p for drafts, 720p for delivery: iterate quickly at 480p, render final cuts at 720p.
- •Choose aspect ratio by platform: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Reels/TikTok/Shorts, 1:1 for social square — cost difference is negligible.
Example Scenario
A content pipeline generating 50 draft clips per day at 16:9, 480p, 5 seconds (text-to-video) would cost approximately $14.06/day ($0.281 × 50), or roughly $422/month.
