Per-second price by tier and resolution
Computed from the same estimator that reserves your balance, at 10 s and 9:16, divided by ten.
| Model id | 480p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|
| seedance-2.5 | $0.2687 | $0.5778 | $1.4216 |
| seedance-2 | $0.1758 | $0.378 | $0.8505 |

| seedance-2-mini | $0.0879 | $0.189 | $0.4253 |
Why the ratios are not flat
Seedance bills on video tokens: width times height times seconds times 24 fps, divided by 1024. A higher resolution means more pixels per second, so the rate climbs faster than the label suggests.
Seedance 2 at 1080p costs 2.25x its 720p second, which is the pixel ratio. Seedance 2.5 climbs further: its 1080p second is 2.46x its 720p second.
