Draft cheap or master big — every Seedance 2.0 preset carries its own price, so you pay for the quality this clip actually needs. A 5-second render costs 30 credits on Mini 480p, 120 on Standard 480p, 210 on Fast 720p, 260 on Standard 720p, and 650 at 1080p — and scales linearly per second. The estimated cost shows beside Generate before you submit, so the charge never surprises you.
