Questions
How much does a Seedance 2.5 clip cost?
A 5-second clip costs 346 credits at 480p and 1818 credits at 1080p; 720p is in the price table above. Sound doesn't change the price. You only spend credits when you generate, and if a generation fails, the credits come back.
How long can a Seedance 2.5 video be?
Between 4 and 15 seconds per clip. The price is per second, so a 10-second clip costs about twice a 5-second one.
How is it different from Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.5 is the newer model and adds a 480p option for cheaper drafts. Seedance 2.0 takes up to 9 reference images to keep a person or product consistent, which Seedance 2.5 doesn't here.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Buy a credit pack and pay per generation. Pack credits last 12 months. Monthly plans are there if you create regularly and want credits at a lower price.
Is this the official Seedance 2.5 app?
No. Seedance 2.5 is made by ByteDance; monodrom is an independent studio that runs it alongside other models. We're not affiliated with ByteDance.
