Credits and pricing
Videos are paid for in credits. Your balance is shown on the Generate page and the dashboard.
What a video costs
The cost is credits per second × length. The rate depends on the version and the resolution:
| Resolution | Seedance 2.0 | Seedance 2.5 |
|---|---|---|
| 480p | 10 credits/second | 13 credits/second |
| 720p | 22 credits/second | 28 credits/second |
| 1080p | 37 credits/second | not available |
| 1080p SR | 39 credits/second | not available |
For example, an 8-second 720p video on Seedance 2.0 costs 22 × 8 = 176 credits. Rates can change, so the cost preview on the Generate page is always the exact figure. It shows the total and your balance afterwards before you click.
Ways to get credits
| Option | Price | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Trial Pass (once per account) | $3.99 | 170, enough for one 480p video up to 15 seconds, watermarked |
| Starter | $55 a month | 1,000 a month |
| Growth | $149 a month | 3,000 a month |
| Scale | $449 a month | 10,000 a month |
| Top-up | from $50 | 22 per dollar |
The Pricing page always has the current prices.
What resets each month
A plan resets your balance to the plan amount at every renewal. Unused credits don't carry over, and that includes any top-up credits bought during the month. So if you're on a plan, use top-ups within the month.
Without a plan, top-up and Trial Pass credits stay in your account until you use them.
Write with AI
Writing briefs with AI is free. It needs enough credits for at least one video on the version you picked, and each photo gets 10 briefs a day. See Writing a good brief.
If a video fails
The credits come back automatically. See When a video fails.
Running low
If your balance is below a video's cost, the Generate button changes to Buy more and Regenerate is disabled until you top up. Manage everything from the Credits page.
