Seedance 2.0 Fast Pricing: The Most Affordable AI Video Option
A full breakdown of Seedance 2.0 Fast pricing — per-second rates, credit tiers, volume math, and how it compares to every other cinema-grade AI video tool.
$1.94 for a 4-second cinema-grade AI video with native audio. That's not a marketing line — that's the cheapest per-clip price you'll find for realistic output in 2026. Seedance 2.0 Fast's pricing is deliberately built to remove cost as a reason to not generate video.
Here's the full pricing breakdown, no hidden fees, no footnotes.
TL;DR
- Per-second rate: $0.2419, dynamic per-second billing
- Per-clip range: $1.94 (4 seconds) to $7.26 (15 seconds)
- Credit tiers: $10 / $25 / $50 / $100, with bonus credits at higher tiers
- Free credits: 50 on signup, no card required
- Savings vs Seedance 2.0 standard: ~20% on every clip
How The Pricing Actually Works
Seedance 2.0 Fast uses dynamic per-second pricing. You pay $0.2419 per second of generated video. Pick 4 seconds, pay $0.97 × 2 = $1.94. Pick 10 seconds, pay $4.84. Pick 15 seconds, pay $7.26.
Nothing else modifies the price. There's no surcharge for audio (it's included). No premium for image-to-video versus text-to-video (same rate). No upcharge for specific aspect ratios. No per-project fees. No monthly minimums. You pay exactly $0.2419 for each second of output, full stop.
Credits convert 1:1 with cents. 194 credits = $1.94 worth of generation. This makes the math trivial once you internalize it.
Full Per-Clip Price Table
| Duration | Credits | Cost | |---|---|---| | 4 seconds | 194 | $1.94 | | 5 seconds | 242 | $2.42 | | 6 seconds | 290 | $2.90 | | 7 seconds | 339 | $3.39 | | 8 seconds | 387 | $3.87 | | 9 seconds | 435 | $4.35 | | 10 seconds | 484 | $4.84 | | 11 seconds | 532 | $5.32 | | 12 seconds | 581 | $5.81 | | 13 seconds | 629 | $6.29 | | 14 seconds | 678 | $6.78 | | 15 seconds | 726 | $7.26 |
Every number in that table is deterministic. The same duration always costs the same number of credits.

You buy credits in bulk, then spend them across any Seedance model. Higher tiers include bonus credits that reduce your effective per-clip cost.
| Tier | Price | Credits | Bonus % | Effective $/credit | |---|---|---|---|---| | Starter | $10 | 1,050 | 5% | $0.0095 | | Popular | $25 | 2,750 | 10% | $0.0091 | | Pro | $50 | 5,750 | 15% | $0.0087 | | Enterprise | $100 | 12,000 | 20% | $0.0083 |
At the Enterprise tier, the effective cost of a 4-second Fast clip drops from $1.94 to about $1.61. That's another ~17% savings on top of the Fast tier discount versus Seedance 2.0 standard.
Credits never expire. Buy once, use whenever. No monthly commitment, no auto-renewal, no "use it or lose it" pressure.
Free Credits On Signup
Every new account gets 50 free credits automatically on signup. That's about $0.50 worth of generation — not quite enough for a full Fast clip, but enough to explore Seedream image generation or run a test on Seedance 1.0 Lite before you spend a dollar.
No credit card required. No trial period that auto-converts. No email verification gauntlet. Sign up, get credits, start generating.

The Enterprise Tier Decision
If you're running at volume — say, 30+ clips a month — the Enterprise tier changes the math significantly. $100 for 12,000 credits means your effective cost per credit drops to $0.0083, which translates to:
- 4-second Fast clip: ~$1.61 (down from $1.94)
- 5-second Fast clip: ~$2.01 (down from $2.42)
- 10-second Fast clip: ~$4.02 (down from $4.84)
At 30 clips a month at 5 seconds each, the Enterprise tier saves you about $12/month versus buying smaller tiers. Over a year, that's $144 back in your pocket.
Upgrade when your monthly usage consistently exceeds the Pro tier's 5,750 credits. Below that, Pro is usually the right call.

Create Your First VideoThe Refund Question
Seedance 2.0 Fast doesn't refund for individual generations that didn't meet your expectations — like every generative AI tool, every clip consumes credits regardless of output. The mitigations are:
- Start with short durations. A 4-second clip is $1.94 — losing one on a bad prompt is a low-stakes learning experience.
- Use strong prompt structure. Hit rate on well-structured prompts is 80%+ in internal testing.
- Try Seedance 2.0 Fast on small credit packs first. The $10 Starter tier is enough to run a few test clips before committing to a larger pack.
The upside of the pay-per-clip model is you're never billed for a month you didn't use. Credits sit in your account indefinitely.
