Model Comparison
A simple framework for comparing Seedance 1.5 Pro and Seedance 2.0 in the public workflow.
Model Comparison
Use this comparison as a planning tool, not as a claim that both tiers expose identical controls.
| Area | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Seedance 2.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Public access framing | Starter credits | Paid plans |
| Current public max duration | Up to 12s | Up to 15s |
| Current public max resolution | Public workflow framing should be checked in UI | Public workflow framing should be checked in UI, commonly 720p top-end |
| Best fit | Evaluation, first renders, lightweight tests | Heavier short-form production, higher-value paid use |
When 1.5 Pro Is Usually Enough
- You are testing prompt direction.
- You are validating subject, style, or composition.
- You need a low-risk first pass before paying for a higher tier.
When 2.0 Usually Makes More Sense
- You need the higher public output ceiling.
- You expect to iterate repeatedly on short-form paid deliverables.
- You want your pricing and workflow planning to align with the paid production path.
Decision Rule
If the clip is exploratory, start lower. If the clip is for a committed production workflow and the public ceiling matters, move to the paid tier earlier.
