Short answer: Pick Mini–Pro by monthly load: Mini $29.9 / 3,000, Standard $59.9 / 6,600, Plus $119.9 / 14,400, Pro $199.9 / 26,000. Yearly cards show about $14.9 / $29.9 / $59.9 / $99.9 per month (billed up front; credits still release monthly). For the lowest ongoing rate, choose yearly on the tier that matches this month’s estimate—not the cheapest card that will empty mid-cycle.
Start on Seedance 2.5, lock a short test, then compare Mini–Pro and One-time rows on pricing.

Which Mini–Pro plan should you buy?
Match the published monthly credit pool to the jobs you will actually run this month, then pick monthly or yearly billing. Plans fund credits; they do not rewrite Seedance 2.5’s public 4–30s / 480–1080p ceilings (4K stays on Seedance 2.0).
| Plan | Monthly price | Yearly (shown /month) | Monthly credits | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | $29.9 | $14.9 | 3,000 | Light monthly tests; few short clips |
| Standard | $59.9 | $29.9 | 6,600 | Steady weekly drafts at 720p/1080p |
| Plus | $119.9 | $59.9 | 14,400 | Heavier batch weeks; longer 4–30s jobs |
| Pro | $199.9 | $99.9 | 26,000 | High monthly volume or larger teams sharing one pool |
How do you choose the cheapest option that still fits?
Cheapest list price is not always cheapest output. Size the pool first from a live estimate, then pick yearly if you already know you will renew for months—yearly is billed once at the lower per-month display rate, while credits still release monthly (not as one lump on purchase day). Stay on monthly if volume is still uncertain.
- Run one estimate at your usual length × resolution before picking a tier.
- If Mini will empty mid-month, step up a tier instead of stacking panic top-ups.
- Prefer yearly on the tier you will keep for 3+ months.
- Prefer monthly while you are still learning burn rate.
- Keep pricing open beside the generator at checkout.
When should a one-time pack beat Mini–Pro?
Choose a pack when you want a prepaid credit burst without a recurring subscription. Published One-time rows: Starter $49.9 / 4,100, Standard $99.9 / 10,000, Professional $199.9 / 23,000, Premium $999 / 150,000, each valid for one year / 365 days on the pack cards. Packs do not replace Mini–Pro’s monthly pool rules—use them for bursts, use Mini–Pro for recurring months.
| Pack | Price | Credits | Validity (public) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Credits Pack | $49.9 | 4,100 | One year / 365 days |
| Standard Credits Pack | $99.9 | 10,000 | One year / 365 days |
| Professional Credits Pack | $199.9 | 23,000 | One year / 365 days |
| Premium Credits Pack | $999 | 150,000 | One year / 365 days |

What are the common questions about which Seedance plan to buy?
What are the Mini–Pro monthly prices and credits?
Monthly list prices are $29.9 / $59.9 / $119.9 / $199.9 with monthly pools 3,000 / 6,600 / 14,400 / 26,000. Yearly cards show about $14.9 / $29.9 / $59.9 / $99.9 per month.
Does yearly billing dump a full year of credits on day one?
No. Yearly is billed up front at the lower per-month display rate; credits still release monthly across the year.
Which plan is “most affordable” in practice?
The tier whose monthly pool covers your usual estimate load without mid-cycle upgrades—often yearly on that same tier if you will renew for months.
When should I buy a one-time pack instead?
When you want a prepaid burst (Starter–Premium, one-year validity) without a recurring Mini–Pro commitment.
