Seedance pricing
Seedance's cheapest paid plan is Dreamina Basic at $15 a month billed monthly, or $14 a month billed yearly. The free plan: Dreamina gives daily free credits, in an unstated amount, that reset at midnight and let you try Seedance 2.0; free downloads carry the Dreamina watermark. Dreamina's help centre says Seedance 2.5 is for subscribers, but its Seedance 2.5 page says the free daily credits can test it. On Dreamina Basic, that works out to $9.52 per 1,000 credits if you use the whole allowance.

Before you pay
- Seedance is a model, not one app: ByteDance sells it in Dreamina and the BytePlus API, while resellers such as Higgsfield charge their own credit prices; Cybernews tested Seedance 2.0 through a third-party app (DeeVid AI).
- Dreamina plans are counted in credits, not seconds. Its plan cards estimate Basic's 1,575 credits at 19 ten-second Seedance 2.0 Fast clips at 720p, but say Seedance 2.0 Fast at 720p costs 43% fewer credits only during an event ending October 23, when the first-month prices ($1.50 for Basic by card or PayPal) also end. Prices vary by region.
- Subscription credits are valid only for the month and lapse when the subscription ends, daily free credits reset at midnight, and credits are non-refundable, even for results you dislike; failed generations are not charged.
- Dreamina's terms describe the service as generally for private, non-commercial use and give ByteDance and other Dreamina users a perpetual, irrevocable licence to use your inputs and outputs for any purpose; its privacy policy lists training its machine-learning models among the uses of the data it collects.
- Seedance 2.0 in Dreamina blocks uploads with realistic human faces, so reference photos or videos of real people will not generate.
