Total = rate × (output video seconds + input video seconds) + additional image cost. The server reads total input video duration and rounds it up to a whole second. The first 5 images are free; each additional image costs 3.2 credits ($0.016). Input audio is free. Failed tasks are refunded in full.
For example, 5 seconds of 768p output, 3 seconds of input video and 7 images cost 57.6 credits ($0.288). See MiniMax H3 for parameters.

Rates for the currently available 480p and 720p tiers are in CNY per million completion tokens.
| Model | Without reference video | With reference video |

seedance-2.0-fast | ¥37 / million tokens | ¥22 / million tokens |
Text-to-video, first/last-frame image-to-video, and multimodal requests without a reference video use the no-reference-video tier. Reference audio requires an image or video except for domestic Seedance 2.5. A reference-video request has a nonempty videoUrls list.
Reference cost = Token unit price × completion tokens / 1,000,000. These CNY reference rates do not replace the USD credits charges based on output duration above. No currency conversion is applied. Rates verified on 2026-10-20. seedance-2.0-global, seedance-2.0-fast-global, and seedance-2.5-global have no Token reference price. The domestic seedance-2.5 Token reference price is unconfirmed and is not displayed.
