Seedream 5 Lite pricing questions
Answered from the pricing config, not from a rate card someone typed up.
What does it cost to try Seedream 5 Lite here?
Signing up grants 40 credits once, with no card. That covers a Seedream 5 Lite render at One size (6 credits) — 6 of them, in fact. Free renders carry a watermark.
Which resolutions does Seedream 5 Lite offer, and what do they cost?
One: One size. Seedream 5 Lite exposes no resolution setting on Seadanse, so there is one price and nothing to trade off.
How many credits does one Seedream 5 Lite render use here?
One size 6 credits, flat. There is no length to scale by.
Does a reference video change what Seedream 5 Lite costs?
Seedream 5 Lite does not take a reference video on Seadanse, so the question does not arise. Reference images, where the model accepts them, are not charged separately.
Do unused credits expire?
Plan credits are replaced at each 30-day cycle rather than stacked, so a cycle you underuse does not bank. Top-up pack credits are separate and stay usable for 365 days.
What happens to my credits when a Seedream 5 Lite render fails?
Credits are held when you press Generate and returned automatically if the render fails or is rejected. You are charged only for renders that complete.
How much should I charge a client for a Seedream 5 Lite video?
Start from cost per usable clip, not cost per render. Set your length and volume above, multiply by the rolls it usually takes you to approve one, and mark up that figure — the render cost is the floor of your quote, not the quote.
How is this different from a general AI video cost calculator?
It prices one model on one site, from the config that site charges against. A general calculator compares vendors' published rate cards, which is a different question — and the rate card is not always what you need on your balance to press Generate.
Is the Seedream 5 Lite cost calculator free to use before I sign up?
Yes. Every tool under /tool is free and needs no account. Nothing on this page submits a render; credits are only spent when you press Generate in the composer.
