SeedanceCheap is an independent Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.5 video generation studio that offers pay-per-use video generation request services with no subscription.
Purpose
Users can submit video generation requests through the website or their own software to turn text prompts and optional reference images into short video scenes. It is mainly aimed at creators who need to quickly produce 15-second or 30-second short videos, product presenters, and developers who want to test the effects of the Seedance models at a lower cost. The official website also provides an account-scoped generation API, making it convenient to integrate generation capabilities into your own software.
Main Capabilities
- Two models and durations: Seedance 2.0 requests 15-second videos and consumes 0.5 credits; Seedance 2.5 requests 30-second videos and consumes 1 credit. The actual encoded duration may vary.
- Credit pricing: Credit packs are purchased one-time: 1 credit for $2.50, 2 credits for $5, 5 credits for $11.25, 10 credits for $20, and 20 credits for $30. The 20-credit pack can generate up to 40 15-second videos (about $0.75 each) or 20 30-second videos (about $1.50 each), and can also be used as a mix. No subscription.
- Prompt planning tool: The official website provides a free prompt planner that can bring drafts into the studio, and editing can continue after registering an account. It supports text character sheets and scene descriptions to help maintain stylistic consistency across different scenes.
- Reference materials: Supports clothing items, objects, products, or landscape images as references (up to four still images), but does not support face or person reference images. Reference materials cannot guarantee an exact first frame.
- Parallel tasks: Each account has five parallel tasks from day one. After submission, if you close the tab or disconnect from the network, the request will still continue running, and the studio will show progress.
- Delivery and download: After the video is delivered, the MP4 can be downloaded privately and is retained for 48 hours.
- Audio: The model can generate audio, but specific sounds or soundtracks are not guaranteed.
- Failure refunds: Confirmed technical failures will be refunded as the original credits, balance, or free generation quota. Clearly unusable results can be reported in the studio for review. Repeatedly confirmed failures may receive additional generation attempts after review.
How to Use
- Describe the scene: Write down what should happen on screen. New requests currently support 16:9 landscape 720p and 9:16 portrait 720p.
- Get Seedance 2.5 working: after submission, the request continues running in the background, even if you close the page or disconnect from the network it will not be interrupted.
- Collect the MP4: it can be downloaded privately within 48 hours after delivery.
After purchasing a credit pack, each 15-second Seedance 2.0 request uses 0.5 credits, and each 30-second Seedance 2.5 request uses 1 credit. Before submitting, you need to select the model and the currently available format in the studio.
Applicable scenarios
- Product sellers: use clothing items, objects, products, or scenery reference images to build editable 30-second product prompts, then review them in the studio.
- Storytelling: describe fictional characters and scenes in text, supporting vertical, horizontal, square, and other aspect ratios (subject to current availability).
- Developer integration: connect generation capabilities into your own software through an account-scoped generation API.
- Low-cost testing: compared with the API list prices of Higgsfield and fal, a 30-second 720p video is about $1.50 in a 20-credit pack, and the official website claims savings of up to 89%.
Limitations
- Free trial: temporarily paused.
- Format limitations: new requests only support 16:9 1280×720 and 9:16 720×1280 (subject to the studio's current availability). Square and 15-second requests are temporarily unavailable. 1080p widescreen and vertical, 4:3 1440×1080, and 3:4 1080×1440 are paused because the detected original file is smaller. Some 720p output may contain small black bars. Available formats may change, and the studio will show the current options before submission.
- Reference image limitations: reference image generation is temporarily unavailable for new requests. Once restored, credit-funded requests may use up to four still images of clothing items, objects, products, or scenery as references. Face or person reference images are not supported. Reference images do not guarantee an exact first frame.
- Person limitations: matching real human faces is not supported, and text cannot guarantee the same face.
- Video input: video input and clip continuation are not supported.
- Content limitations: requests are sent to the video engine as-is, and the engine's own prompt and reference limitations apply. Non-graphic action scenes may work, but acceptance and exact similarity are not guaranteed.
- Price comparison: the official website's comparison with the API list prices of Higgsfield and fal is a calculated estimate, verified on October 10, 2026, and does not includeinput video. Subscription plans, promotions, taxes, and features may differ. Creative reshoots and editing may increase costs.
