Seedance 2.0 Mini Pricing and Credits Explained

Seedance 2.0 Mini Pricing and Credits Explained
Seedance 2.0 Mini uses credits so you can test short AI video ideas without committing to a heavy production budget. The goal is simple: write a prompt or upload a reference image, choose the format, see the estimated credit cost, and generate a short MP4 clip.
What Affects Credit Cost?
Credit usage usually depends on three things:
- Duration: longer clips cost more than short clips.
- Resolution: HD settings can cost more than lower draft settings.
- Model settings: some workflows are more expensive than others.
That is why the generator should show the estimated credit cost before you start. For ad hook testing, product demos, and social clips, this makes it easier to compare ideas without losing control of budget.
Which Plan Should You Choose?
Starter is best for testing the workflow with a few clips. Creator is better when you want to run repeated prompt tests. Pro is meant for campaign-volume creation, where you need more attempts, faster iteration, and more history. Max is for teams that want the lowest unit cost and higher-volume generation.
How To Spend Credits Efficiently
Start with a short duration and a practical HD setting. Use one clear prompt, review the motion, then improve one detail at a time. Once the subject, camera movement, and style are working, move to higher-quality settings where supported.
This workflow is especially useful for launch teasers, ad hooks, product walkthroughs, UGC-flavored stories, and explainer clips.
