What Seedance 2.5 offers
Seedance 2.5 makes clips of up to 30 seconds from up to 30 reference images, 10 videos and 10 audio clips, and adds a video edit mode that changes an existing clip, for example to swap a character.
Seedance 2.5 is sold at 480p, 720p, 1080p and 4K, always with sound, by 16 API providers. Some of them also sell a video input mode, which changes an existing clip instead of making a new one. At the cheapest provider, 10 seconds cost $1.01 at 480p, then 720p $2.26, 1080p $5.59 and 4K $16.20.
Next to its neighbours: Seedance 2.0 costs $1.24 for 10 seconds at 720p. Seedance 2.5 itself costs $2.26 at 720p.
The closest rival at this price is FLUX 3 Video (FLUX), $1.70 for 10 seconds at 720p with audio through OpenRouter, 25% cheaper; it cannot edit an existing video.
Pick Seedance 2.5 when
- You swap a character in an existing clip, need up to 30 seconds in one take, or feed it many references.
- You deliver at 4K.
- You want a fallback when one provider is down or slow: 16 sell it.
- You want to change an existing clip rather than generate a new one.
Look elsewhere when
- A plain text-to-video shot is all you need: older Seedance models make it for less.
- Price matters most: Seedance 1.5 Pro is the cheapest Seedance model at 720p with audio, $0.47 for 10 seconds.
What a short piece costs
A 30-second piece made of three 10-second shots, with three 480p drafts of each and one 1080p final, costs about $25.83 at the cheapest providers: $9.04 in drafts and $16.78 in finals. Rendering every take at 1080p would cost $50.35.
