Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about access, pricing, and integration.

How much does the Seedance 2.0 API cost?

On our Developer plan, pricing starts at $0.04 per video second (~$2.40/min at 1080p). Our Business bulk plan lowers this to ~$0.028/sec (~$1.68/min). Both are significantly more accessible than going through BytePlus or a direct Bytedance enterprise agreement.

How does this compare to Kling or Sora?

At equivalent resolution and clip length, Seedance 2.0 on SeeVideo is roughly 30–40% cheaper than Kling API, and 40–60% cheaper than Sora. For high-volume use cases, that difference adds up quickly.

Can I use this with a BytePlus integration?

Yes. Our Developer and Business plans include a REST API with webhook callbacks, making it straightforward to plug into existing pipelines. For teams with strict BytePlus compliance requirements, contact us — we can help you evaluate options.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. When you sign up, you receive sandbox credits to test the API — no credit card required. Free access covers both text-to-video and image-to-video, with throughput limits.

What's the difference between Seedance 2.0 and Jimeng (即梦)?

Jimeng is Bytedance's consumer product — it doesn't offer a developer API. SeeVideo is the developer-facing access point for the same underlying Seedance model, with structured pricing and REST API access.

How is Seedance 2.0 different from Seedance 1.0?

Seedance 2.0 features significantly improved motion coherence, better handling of complex multi-element scenes, higher resolution support, and faster inference. It's the same model powering Bytedance's flagship AI video products today.

Do you offer monthly subscription plans?

Our Business plan works like a subscription — you pre-purchase bulk credit packs at a discounted rate, with credits rolling over each month. Enterprise plans can include dedicated capacity with fixed monthly pricing.
