Understanding how credits work on seedancemaker helps you plan your video production budget. Here's a clear breakdown.
The Free Tier: Starter Credits
When you sign up, you get starter credits on Seedance 1.5 Pro. This lets you:
- Test the generator workflow
- Validate prompts and reference images
- Produce a few evaluation clips at no cost
Starter credits are only available on Seedance 1.5 Pro, not Seedance 2.0.
Paid Plans: Unlocking Seedance 2.0
Three annual plans are available:
| Plan | Price | Credits | Approx. Clips/Year | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $490/year ($41/mo) | 6,000 | ~120 five-second clips | Solo creators |
| Pro | $990/year ($83/mo) | 13,200 | ~264 five-second clips | Active creators, batch work |
| Max | $2,000/year ($167/mo) | 28,800 | ~576 five-second clips | Teams, production volume |
All paid plans include:
- 480p and 720p output
- Up to 15-second Seedance 2.0 clips
- Priority processing
- MP4 download with no watermark
- Business certificate
Pro and Max plans add API access for automated workflows.
Credit Packs: Pay as You Go
Not ready for a subscription? Buy credits without commitment:
| Pack | Price | Approx. Videos |
|---|---|---|
| 500 Credits | $25 | ~20 short videos |
| 2,100 Credits | $99 | ~84 short videos |
Credit packs don't expire and can be used alongside any plan.
How Credits Are Consumed
| Mode | Credits per Run |
|---|---|
| Text-to-video | 6 credits |
| Image-to-video | 8 credits |
| Video-to-video | 10 credits |
Longer clips and higher resolutions within the same mode use the same credit cost — the credit system is per-generation, not per-second.
