Budget Seedance 2.5 videos at 480p, 720p and 1080p. Compare 5s/10s batches, retry costs and usable-video budgets with current APIMaster API prices.
Published
At APIMaster's starting rates, 100 ten-second Seedance 2.5 videos cost about $97.37 at 480p, $218.92 at 720p or $538.60 at 1080p, before retries. For 1,000 ten-second 720p videos, budget about $2,189.17 for one billed attempt each, or $4,378.34 for two billed attempts per usable video. Check the current price.
Checked 2026-11-10. USD per generated second; ordinary generation with generated audio and no reference-video input. The live model card takes precedence. These are calculated budgets, not paid-generation measurements or measured model success rates.

Reference prices are marketplace configuration references, not independently verified manufacturer checkout prices. Fast and Mini are different models, not full 2.5 at a discount. Seedance 2.5 route ranges are $0.097372–$0.1028/s at 480p, $0.218917–$0.23112/s at 720p and $0.538597–$0.56862/s at 1080p. Starting budgets use the lowest route, not every route's price.

Seedance 2.5 cost per video: 5, 10 and 30 seconds
Generation cost = price per second × billable seconds × billed attempts. Output-only examples use generated duration. Calculate with the full rate and round only the total.
| Resolution | Price / second | 5-second clip | 10-second clip | 30-second clip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | From $0.097372 | $0.49 | $0.97 | $2.92 |
| 720p | From $0.218917 | $1.09 | $2.19 | $6.57 |
| 1080p | From $0.538597 | $2.69 | $5.39 | $16.16 |
A ten-second 720p clip uses $0.218916864 × 10 = $2.18916864, displayed as $2.19. One hundred cost $218.92, rather than $219.00 obtained by multiplying the rounded display price. Choose a current route before committing a batch.
What do 10, 100 and 1,000 Seedance 2.5 videos cost?
One billed generation per clip, no references or post-processing. Clip length is explicit so a five-second quote is not mistaken for a ten-second quote.
| Resolution | Clip length | 10 videos | 100 videos | 1,000 videos |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | 5 seconds | $4.87 | $48.69 | $486.86 |
| 480p | 10 seconds | $9.74 | $97.37 | $973.72 |
| 720p | 5 seconds | $10.95 | $109.46 | $1,094.58 |
| 720p | 10 seconds | $21.89 | $218.92 | $2,189.17 |
| 1080p | 5 seconds | $26.93 | $269.30 | $2,692.98 |
| 1080p | 10 seconds | $53.86 | $538.60 | $5,385.97 |
Start with ten short clips before planning 1,000 final shots. Ten five-second 480p generations start at about $4.87; ten at 720p start at $10.95. Review the results, processing time and actual charges before estimating a production month. Totals exclude taxes, payment charges, editing, storage and separately purchased enhancement.
Retry cost: generated clips versus usable videos
For 100 final ten-second 720p clips, include every billed attempt. These are planning scenarios, not measured acceptance rates or a claim that every failed request is charged.
| Billed attempts per usable clip | Generations for 100 usable clips | Cost per usable clip | Budget for 100 usable clips |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 | $2.19 | $218.92 |
| 1.5 on average | 150 | $3.28 | $328.38 |
| 2 | 200 | $4.38 | $437.83 |
| 3 | 300 | $6.57 | $656.75 |
Or use your observed retained-output share: budget = target usable clips / retained share × cost per attempt. If half of billed generations are usable, the generation budget doubles. Prompt rejection, failed tasks, cancellations and refunds follow the route's actual billing rules; inspect the ledger rather than assuming all failures are free or all are charged.
Lower your budget without changing the full 2.5 model
Test shorter, lower-resolution shots first, then render selected takes at delivery resolution. In this snapshot, 100 five-second 480p tests cost $48.69. Add 20 ten-second 1080p finals for $107.72: the staged workflow totals about $156.41. Making all 100 candidate shots ten-second 1080p clips would cost $538.60. The workloads differ: this saves expensive speculative renders; it is not an identical 1080p product at a lower price.
Keep reference images, subject descriptions and intended motion consistent between attempts. Review a small batch before launching more. Better prompts may reduce wasted generations, but no particular acceptance rate is promised.
If you deliberately change models, 100 ten-second 720p clips start at about $143.22 on Seedance 2.0, $72.50 on Fast or $37.65 on Mini. These are different models, not full 2.5 at a discount. Compare the four options at Seedance Best Price.
Reference video, subscriptions and 4K: separate budgets
A lower reference-video rate can bill input plus output duration, with input minimums and rounding. Do not substitute that lower rate into an output-only budget without adding billable input. Follow the API documentation and route's billing formula.
A subscription may be cheaper for some high-volume users. Compare total subscription charge / realistically usable clips, including queues, fair-use limits, resolution caps and unused credits, with your pay-as-you-go cost. APIMaster's quoted access is pay-as-you-go, not an unlimited plan.
This public 2.5 snapshot lists 480p, 720p and 1080p, no 4K variant. Seedance 2.0's 4K rate does not apply to 2.5. If a service sells a 4K upscale, budget generation and enhancement separately; larger file dimensions do not establish native resolution.

Use the route's actual billing/refund policy and your transaction ledger. Retry scenarios count billed attempts; they do not assume every submission or failure is charged.
Can I use Mini or Fast prices for full Seedance 2.5?
No. They are distinct models. Keep the exact model, resolution, duration and input mode fixed when comparing full 2.5 prices.
