What the numbers mean
CapCut: cheapest, but check the price after month one
CapCut's pricing page lists Seedance 2.5 "from $0.12 per second" on Pro, but marks it as a first-month price. It doesn't say what the per-second price is after that, so check inside CapCut before you plan a big project around it. CapCut is part of ByteDance, the company behind Seedance.
Higgsfield: many Seedance videos for a fixed price
Higgsfield's Plus plan lists 80 Seedance 2.5 videos a month, and the page also mentions "Unlimited Seedance 2.5" at 720p. The page doesn't say how long each video is or what limits "unlimited" has, so read the plan details in your account.
Luma: clear per-second pricing
Luma lists Seedance 2.5 in credits per second: 36 at 480p, 78 at 720p and 191 at 1080p. That makes it easy to work out what a longer clip costs. All plans include commercial use, but there is no free plan.
InVideo, Krea and Pika: convenient, but pricier per clip
These tools are worth it if you already use them for editing, images or other models. For Seedance 2.5 alone they cost two to three times more per clip than CapCut or Higgsfield. InVideo's Starter plan doesn't include Seedance 2.5 at all.
Also available, but no price per clip on the pricing page
Runway and HeyGen (on Pro) also offer Seedance 2.5, but their pricing pages don't say how many credits a Seedance clip uses, so we can't compare them fairly yet.
Watch out
- Resolution changes everything. On Pika, a 1080p clip costs about 2.5 times as much as 720p. On Luma it is more than double.
- Credits rarely roll over. Pika, InVideo and Krea reset unused credits every month.
- Intro prices. CapCut's Seedance prices are first-month offers.
