Notes
- Reference videos: the official ByteDance price and every other provider in this table also bill the seconds of a reference video you upload (Replicate through a separate, higher tier). NezhaGate bills only the seconds it generates. The two tables with a reference video put numbers on it.
- Seedance 2.5 1080P and Seedance 2.0 1080P are coming soon on NezhaGate.
- Seedance 2.0 Fast: ByteDance's 25% discount (until 2026-10-07) is for enterprise accounts, so the table shows the list price; OpenRouter currently charges the discounted price.
- fal, Replicate and APIMart also sell US-hosted or member-tier variants; the table shows the price a new account pays for the standard endpoint.
How we compare
- List prices only: the price a new account pays today, without volume deals or one-off coupons. A promotion with an end date is shown with that date.
- Video is per second of finished video at 16:9 with no reference video; prices quoted per clip are divided by the clip length and the original price is shown under it. Images are per picture at each resolution.
- Token-billed models (the official ByteDance price, OpenRouter) are converted with the vendor's own formula: tokens per second = width x height x 24 / 1024.
- NezhaGate prices are read live from our billing table, the same numbers a request is charged. Competitor prices are rechecked every month.
FAQ
How much does the Seedance 2.5 API cost?
On NezhaGate, Seedance 2.5 costs $0.10 per second at 480P and $0.158 per second at 720P, for clips of 4 to 30 seconds, so a 10-second 720P clip is $1.58. ByteDance's official BytePlus price works out to $0.103 per second at 480p and $0.231 at 720p for 16:9 video.
What does a 30-second Seedance video cost?
The model seedance-2.5-30s renders a fixed 30-second 720P clip for $1.50. The per-second seedance-2.5 costs $4.74 for the same length at 720P, and the official per-second price for 30 seconds at 720p is $6.93.
How do Seedance 2.0 and 2.0 Fast prices compare with 2.5?
On NezhaGate, Seedance 2.0 is $0.07 per second at 480P and $0.15 at 720P, Seedance 2.0 Fast is $0.075 per second at 720P, both for 5 to 15 seconds. Seedance 2.5 goes up to 30 seconds per clip.
Do reference videos cost extra?
Not on NezhaGate: a Seedance job is billed for the seconds it generates, whatever you upload as reference. The official ByteDance price and the other providers compared here bill the reference video's seconds as well.
How often are these prices checked?
Every competitor and official price on this page links to its source and was last checked on 2026-10-03; we recheck them every month. NezhaGate prices are read from our billing table, so they are always the prices a request is charged.
How is a request with a reference video billed on NezhaGate?
By the seconds you generate only: reference videos are free. ByteDance's official API, OpenRouter, fal, Kie and APIMart add the reference video's seconds to the output's, and Replicate switches the whole clip to a higher per-second rate, so the longer the reference video, the larger the gap. The two tables with a reference video show the totals for a 10-second clip.
