Seedance Pricing Compared (2026): What Does a Video Actually Cost?

How APIMaster combines lower prices with video verification

APIMaster brings together low-cost channels sourced across the market, compares their prices, and makes them available through one API. Our goal is to help users get the lowest available price for the model and settings they need. Rather than checking separate suppliers yourself, start with the live market card, compare currently available routes and choose the offer that fits your request. The price tables below show where that approach saves money today.

A low quote also needs to deliver the model it promises. APIMaster makes a 100% model-fidelity service commitment and provides video fingerprint verification so you can check the delivered file. Keep the original video, select the claimed Seedance version and inspect whether its container, encoding and frame characteristics match the reference fingerprint. A mismatch is a reason to investigate; an indeterminate result means the available evidence is insufficient.

The aim is a low price for the real model, with evidence you can inspect. Fingerprint matching supports consistency with a reference; it is not a cryptographic proof of model identity or a guarantee that every file can be classified. See the verification method and report examples. Price leadership below is limited to the verified offers, date and settings shown; it does not establish a permanent all-market price guarantee.

Seedance API pricing: compare the same video

This comparison covers nine platforms: APIMaster, Wireflow, fal, Replicate, PiAPI, Flora, Magnific, Higgsfield and Figma Weave. Six provided enough verifiable public information for at least one comparable quote; the remaining three are listed separately rather than assigned an assumed price.

The common specification is 720p, 16:9, five generated seconds, generated audio, and no reference-video input. Native generation is compared separately from Draft previews or upscaling. Taxes, payment fees, retries, conditional bonuses and private enterprise quotes are excluded. No paid cross-platform quality test was performed.

Seedance 2.0 pricing compared

For subscription products, the per-second column is the five-second credit cost divided by five; it is not a promise that the provider sells individual seconds. Costs are rounded to two decimal places; savings use the original unrounded values.

The lowest checked comparable Seedance 2.0 offer is APIMaster in this snapshot. That conclusion applies to the listed offers and settings, not every provider or negotiated deal.

Seedance 2.5 API pricing compared

Keep the version fixed when comparing a newer model. A low Mini or Fast price is not a discount on the same Seedance 2.5 generation.

For more providers, resolution budgets and original-file verification, see the cheap Seedance 2.5 API guide.

Seedance Fast and Mini: lower the budget by changing the model

These are separate model choices. Compare each row within its own version, then test whether the result meets your needs. Prices below are for five seconds at 720p.

APIMaster Fast is about 24.5% cheaper than PiAPI Fast; Mini is about 55.2% cheaper than PiAPI Mini. Flora's published Mini cost is higher than its Fast cost at these settings; model names do not establish a universal price order. The Seedance savings guide covers broader model selection.

How the prices were checked

Wireflow: Starter is $36/month for 2,660 credits. Its model pages list 90 credits for Seedance 2.0 and 135 for Seedance 2.5, both for a default five-second 720p clip. The calculations are 36 × 90 / 2660 = $1.218045 and 36 × 135 / 2660 = $1.827068. This uses monthly Starter billing; annual discounts and other plans can change the effective price. Unused credits raise the effective cost per completed clip.

fal: the pages state that the token formula governs billing. At 1280×720 and 24 fps, output is 1280 × 720 × 24 / 1024 = 21,600 video tokens per second. Published rates per 1,000 tokens are $0.014 for 2.0, $0.0112 for Fast and $0.0214 for 2.5. Thus 21.6 × rate × 5 gives $1.512, $1.2096 and $2.3112. Nearby approximate per-second labels differ slightly; this article uses the stated formula. Actual output dimensions and token counts can affect billing.

Replicate: its public model page's billing configuration lists $0.18/s for 720p without video input. The separate $0.22/s video-input tier is not used here.

PiAPI: public pages list 720p rates of $0.20/s for 2.0, $0.096/s for Fast, $0.084/s for Mini and $0.35/s for 2.5. Optional processing modes are excluded.

Flora: its public billing documentation lists $1.0584, $0.8514 and $0.9288 for default five-second 720p 2.0, Fast and Mini generations. The parameter table explicitly quotes $2.48 for five-second 720p Seedance 2.5; the more expensive default “auto” entry is a different configuration. Subscription discounts can change the effective funding cost.

Magnific, Higgsfield and Figma Weave: no sufficiently verified, like-for-like price was obtained in this check. Magnific's site returned an access error; Higgsfield's accessible pricing page did not establish the necessary model/credit conversion; Figma Weave advertises Seedance 2.5, but the linked pricing material did not yield a verified equivalent quote. This does not mean these platforms lack the model or a price. We do not reuse a secondary article's numbers as current verified quotes.

Best Seedance API provider for your budget

For an application or batch pipeline, begin with APIMaster's current Seedance 2.0 offer: 1,000 five-second clips start at approximately $716.08, versus $1,218.05 using Wireflow's monthly Starter conversion—a generation-budget difference of about $501.96. This is a normalized budget, not a purchasable single Starter allowance. It excludes failed/repeated attempts and other fees.

For Seedance 2.5, the same 1,000-clip budget starts at $1,094.58 on APIMaster versus approximately $1,827.07 at that Wireflow credit rate. If you prefer an integrated visual workspace, its editing tools and workflow may justify a subscription. Choose on cost per usable delivered clip, including retries and your editing time, rather than the generation quote alone.

Register on APIMaster, create an API key, and connect to https://apimaster.ai/v1 using seedance-2.0 or seedance-2.5. Start with one short clip, keep its original file and check its fingerprint. At the checked settings, 2.0 starts about 41.2% below Wireflow's monthly Starter equivalent; confirm the live card before scaling. Compare the price and verify the delivery in the same place.

FAQ

How much does Seedance cost in 2026?

At the November 6 snapshot, a five-second 720p clip starts at $0.72 for Seedance 2.0, $1.09 for 2.5, $0.36 for Fast and $0.19 for Mini on APIMaster. Version, resolution, duration and input mode change the bill.

Is APIMaster cheaper than Wireflow for Seedance?

Under the stated monthly Starter credit conversion, APIMaster's starting price is about 41.2% lower for Seedance 2.0 and 40.1% lower for 2.5. Annual plans, unused credits and workflow features affect the practical comparison.

Which checked provider has the cheapest Seedance 2.0 API?

APIMaster has the lowest starting quote among the six verified offers in this comparison for five-second 720p output without video input. Unverified platforms and private deals are not included in that ranking.

Is Mini the same model as Seedance 2.5?

No. Mini, Fast, Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.5 are separate choices. Compare providers within the same model before calculating a discount.

Why does fal's estimated bill differ from its per-second label?

fal identifies its token formula as authoritative. This article uses its published token rates at 1280×720 and 24 fps rather than a nearby approximate per-second label. The generated dimensions and token count determine the final bill.

Are subscription credits equivalent to pay-as-you-go dollars?

Only after specifying the plan, credits per generation and utilization. The Wireflow example assumes monthly Starter billing and full credit use. Subscription commitments, expiry and annual promotions can change the effective cost.
