  • Video Edit, Video Extend and Talking Avatar modes
  • Turbo tier at about half the price

Cons

  • Standard tier is about 50% pricier per second
  • 1080p and 4K tiers are reportedly upscaled from native 720p
  • Longer generations take two minutes or more

Seedance 2.0

The model that made Seedance famous: 4-15 second clips with native audio, end frames and up to 12 references.

Pros

  • Lower price per second at every resolution
  • Proven prompts and community examples
  • Native 1080p and 4K output

Cons

  • 15-second maximum

Our Verdict

Seedance 2.5 is the better model for anything longer than 10 seconds, for reference-heavy character work and for editing or extending footage. Seedance 2.0 stays useful for cheap 5-second clips and 4K stills-to-video. On MakeInfluencer.ai both are available, so start with Seedance 2.5 Turbo and step up to standard 2.5 when the extra fidelity matters.
