Seedance 2.0 Pricing (2026): Cost + Cheapest Way

Seedance 2.0 on Kensa costs 7.7 credits per second at 480p and 16.9 credits per second at 720p, with native audio included free — a 5s 480p clip is about 39 credits, a 5s 720p clip about 85. Kensa is the cheapest way to use it: paid plans start at $9.90/mo (280 credits) and every new account gets 15 free credits, no credit card required.

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's latest text- and image-to-video model, known for smooth realistic motion, strong prompt adherence and native audio. The catch is access: the official API runs on a cloud platform with pay-per-use billing and no free trial, and third-party aggregators charge per second with no free credits. For most creators that means real setup work before you generate a single clip.

Kensa removes that friction. It's a multi-model web app where Seedance 2.0 runs on a simple shared-credit system — no cloud account, no API keys, no per-model contracts. You buy credits once and spend them on Seedance 2.0 or any other model (Veo 3.1, Seedance 1.5, Kling 3, Grok), which makes it the cheapest and simplest way to try Seedance 2.0 pricing before you commit.

How Seedance 2.0 pricing works

On Kensa, Seedance 2.0 is billed by the second in credits, based on resolution: 7.7 credits per second at 480p and 16.9 credits per second at 720p. Native audio is generated at no extra cost — you are never charged separately for sound. So a 4s 480p clip is ~31 credits, a 10s 480p clip is 77, and a 10s 720p clip with audio is ~170. Credits are shared across every model on Kensa, so nothing is wasted if you switch engines mid-project.
