Affordable AI video without cutting corners on quality
Seedance 2 is ByteDance's flagship video model at Kubeez's lowest per-second rate. Ship at 480p on a budget or step up to 720p when the shot demands it.
- Start as low as 18 credits per second—less with a video reference
- Choose 480p for testing, 720p for finals in the same workflow
- Built-in audio at no extra cost keeps invoices predictable
Per-second pricing you can model on a spreadsheet
Kubeez lists Seedance 2 rates per second so the math is obvious. Multiply by your clip duration (4-15 seconds) to get the total credit cost before you hit generate.
- Seedance 2 Fast 480p — 18 credits/sec (about 108 credits for a 6-second clip)
- Seedance 2 Fast 720p — 34 credits/sec
- Seedance 2 Fast 480p with video reference — 12 credits/sec
- Seedance 2 Fast 720p with video reference — 27 credits/sec
How it works
- 1
Draft cheap at 480p
Run concepting and A/B hooks on 480p at 18 cr/s to keep spend tight while you dial in the prompt.
- 2
Attach a reference to pay less
When you have a look or motion to match, attach a reference video—Seedance 2 routes to the discounted 12 cr/s path automatically.
- 3
Upgrade only the winners
Promote the cuts that earn a budget line to 720p once stakeholders agree on the direction.
Who this saves the most money for
- Growth teams running weekly hook tests across many variants
- Agencies pitching concepts before a client greenlights final quality
- Solo creators stretching a monthly credit pack across dozens of clips
What cheap means here
480p is the value tier—720p costs meaningfully more per second. Reference-video routing is automatic but requires an attached clip. Signup credit grants are a trial allowance, not permanent free usage.
