Seedance 2.0 API pricing: current Cheap.dev rates and higher-cost alternatives
This guide uses the current Cheap.dev pricing catalog and keeps Standard, Mini, and Fast separate. Competitor tables include only verified, higher-priced like-for-like API rates; lower-priced and mismatched configurations are omitted.
Seedance 2.0 Standard price comparison
This comparison uses 1080p Standard output without a video reference. Both listed alternatives publish a higher per-second rate than Cheap.dev for that configuration.
| Provider | Published configuration | Price / output sec | 10-sec clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheap.devOurs | Standard, 1080p, no video input | $0.48 | $4.80 |
| APIXO | Standard, 1080p, without video reference | $0.4933 | $4.933 |
| fal.ai | Standard, 1080p, text-to-video with audio | $0.682 | $6.82 |
Seedance 2.0 Mini pricing
Cheap.dev Mini costs $0.05 per output second at 480p and $0.10 at 720p. We did not verify a current like-for-like Mini API rate above ours, so lower-priced competitors are intentionally excluded.
| Provider | Published configuration | Price / output sec | 10-sec clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheap.devOurs | Mini, 480p, no video input | $0.05 | $0.50 |
| Cheap.devOurs | Mini, 720p, no video input | $0.10 | $1.00 |
Seedance 2.0 Fast price comparison
The 720p Fast comparison keeps resolution and input mode aligned. fal.ai’s published rate is higher than the current Cheap.dev rate.
| Provider | Published configuration | Price / output sec | 10-sec clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheap.devOurs | Fast, 720p, no video input | $0.15 | $1.50 |
| fal.ai | Fast, 720p, text-to-video with audio | $0.2419 | $2.419 |
Every numeric competitor price links to the provider-owned page that publishes it. Prices exclude tax, promotions, and enterprise discounts.

Video-reference jobs use separate input-plus-output rates, so these output-only prices should not be applied to requests containing reference video.
Current Seedance 2.0 video-reference pricing
When a request includes reference video, Cheap.dev bills the reference duration and generated duration together. The catalog rates below apply to each billable input or output second; for example, a five-second reference plus a five-second result bills ten seconds.
Seedance 1.5 Pro price reference
The earlier Seedance route uses per-second 480p and 720p rates. The table shows the derived prices for five- and ten-second outputs; generating audio applies the catalog's 2× multiplier.
| Resolution | 5-sec output | 10-sec output | With audio |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | $0.40 | $0.80 | 2× output price |
| 720p | $0.90 | $1.80 | 2× output price |
How to read the comparison
Choose the tier before comparing price
Standard targets maximum quality, Fast prioritizes lower latency and cost, and Mini is the economical tier. Select the tier that fits the workload, then compare providers inside that tier.
Match resolution and input mode
A 480p floor price is not a 720p or 1080p production price. Reference-video requests may also bill input duration as well as output duration, so compare a complete request rather than only the headline per-second number.
Include operational tooling
Cheap.dev includes a human-readable model catalog, an in-browser request sandbox, OpenAPI resources, saved API tokens, and an installable agent skill behind one API surface.
Methodology and sources
Cheap.dev prices come from the current pricing catalog checked August 22, 2026. Competitor pages were last checked on August 19, 2026, and rows are included only when tier, resolution, input mode, and billing unit are comparable and the verified rate is higher than Cheap.dev. Lower or unverified rates are omitted. Duration estimates are rate × duration.
