Seedance video pricing and credit plans
Compare monthly, annual, and one-time credit options with clear model-level output estimates.
Estimates are rounded down. Settings and input media can change the final cost; review the exact quote in the creation tool before generating.
Plan your Seedance video budget on Shedance AI
Start by deciding whether your Seedance shot begins with a text description or an image. Compare the available duration and resolution settings in the studio, then read the credit quote for that exact setup. Reserve room in your budget for a revised camera move or a second composition; a plan does not promise a fixed number of finished clips.
Before purchasing: select the model, input media and output settings; read the exact credit quote; then compare the available plans.
How to use Seedance: a practical video guide
Plan the credits around a Seedance shot
Read a quote before choosing a plan
Begin with the shot you intend to make. Open the Seedance studio, select an available model option and choose the supported output settings. Read the credit estimate for that specific request. A plan's credit balance is a budget for requests, rather than a promise of a fixed number of finished clips. Different settings and later revisions can use that balance at different rates.
Record the model label, duration, resolution and input type beside the quote. If you change one of those settings, check the updated estimate before submitting. The plan cards show the current purchase options; do not calculate a budget from an old screenshot, a gallery example or a different model's cost.
Budget for one controlled revision
For a new scene, choose a small test that answers a clear question. You might check whether a tram crosses the intended part of a street while the camera remains stable. Review that result before adding a more complex move. Reserve room in your budget for a deliberate revision rather than assuming every first attempt will be ready to publish.
The Seedance shot-planning guide explains how to separate subject action from camera direction. Changing one variable per attempt makes the credit spent on a comparison easier to interpret. It does not guarantee an outcome or remove the need to review the whole downloaded clip.
Check purchase and renewal details
Before paying, review the amount, currency, credit quantity, expiry and any recurring terms displayed for the selected offer. A one-time purchase and a recurring subscription can have different billing behavior. Use the account controls to review an active subscription and cancel future renewal when needed. Refer to the actual checkout and account record when resolving a discrepancy.
Distinguish a failed job from a payment refund
Follow an existing request's status before submitting another copy. A definitively failed generation should release its reserved credits; an uncertain status may need reconciliation. Returning a payment is a separate process governed by the refund policy. An output that differs from personal taste is not automatically a failed request.
For missing purchased credits, a duplicate charge or a status that remains unclear, contact Support with the relevant transaction or job reference. Include the approximate time and selected settings, while keeping passwords, full card numbers and private reference media out of the initial message.
