Seedance 2.0 Mini vs Fast vs Standard: What Actually Differs
seedance 2.0 mini vs fast
Pick Fast at 6,200 credits. The published line for standard Seedance 2.0 at 7,750 lists the same 720p, the same 5 seconds and the same audio-included bundle, so the 1,550-credit difference is not something the spec sheet shows you. For Mini we do not quote a figure. And all three variants carry two hard limits: no video input, and 16:9 only.
How this works
Fast vs standard: 1,550 credits, same published line
On Doitong the two Seedance 2 entries we have prices for read almost identically. Seedance 2 Fast is 6,200 credits and is listed as 720p, 5 seconds, with audio in the bundle. Seedance 2.0 is 7,750 credits and is listed as 720p, 5 seconds, with audio in the bundle. Same resolution, same duration, audio included in both. The difference in price is 1,550 credits — 25% on top of Fast. We will say the awkward part plainly: what those 1,550 credits buy is not described in the characteristics we publish. Both lines show the same resolution, the same length and the same audio bundle. If you cannot tell the two apart on your own material, Fast is the rational default, and the honest test is to run one identical prompt through both and judge the output yourself rather than trust a spec line that reads the same either way.
Mini: the figure we can and cannot give you
The Seedance 2 prices we can quote are Fast at 6,200 credits and Seedance 2.0 at 7,750 credits. For Mini we are not putting a number on this page — if your question is specifically "what does Mini cost here," those two are the figures you can plan against. What we can confirm about Mini is the constraint it shares with its siblings. In our integration, Mini, Fast and 2.0 are all flagged as not accepting video input. Start from a text prompt or from a still image instead.
Two limits that apply to the whole Seedance 2 line
Two limits apply to the whole line, and they decide the question before the variant does. Both are things the model will not do. No video input. Mini, Fast and 2.0 are all marked as not accepting video as an input. If you are trying to feed an existing clip in for a restyle or an extension and the upload refuses it, that is the model, not your file — re-encoding or shrinking the clip will not change the answer. 16:9 only. Seedance 2 works in 16:9. If you need 9:16 for Reels, Shorts or TikTok, you either crop in post — losing the sides of a frame that was composed for widescreen — or you generate somewhere else and check the aspect support of whichever model you pick before you run it. Settling this before you spend 6,200 credits is the whole point of reading this page.

The detail
Five seconds, and why your clip "cuts off"
Both priced Seedance 2 entries produce 5 seconds per generation. That is not truncation — it is the length of the unit you are buying. The catalogue is deliberately uneven on this point: Veo-3.1 Fast and Veo-3.1 Pro are listed at 8 seconds, Hailuo 2.3 at 6 seconds, 12 of the 17 listed models at 5, and Grok Video is billed by the second (480p at 350 credits per second, 720p at 450). So "my video ends too early" is a model-selection question, not a settings question. If your shot needs eight continuous seconds with sound, Veo-3.1 Fast at 1,500 credits gives you that length directly — and at $1.00, $0.60 or $0.50 per generation depending on your pack, it costs a fraction of a Seedance 2 clip. If you need widescreen Seedance 2 output longer than five seconds, you are assembling multiple generations, and you should budget in multiples of 6,200 or 7,750.
The same numbers in dollars
Credits only mean something once you convert them. The rate is set by the top-up packs: 30,000 credits for $19.99, 100,000 for $39.99, and 300,000 for $99.99 — roughly $0.67, $0.40 and $0.33 per 1,000. One Seedance 2 Fast generation costs $4.13 on the 30,000 pack, $2.48 on the 100,000 pack and $2.07 on the 300,000 pack. One Seedance 2.0 generation costs $5.16, $3.10 and $2.58 on the same three. Since both deliver five seconds, that works out to $0.83, $0.50 and $0.41 per second for Fast, and $1.03, $0.62 and $0.52 per second for 2.0. The 1,550-credit gap between them is worth $1.03 at the smallest pack, $0.62 in the middle and $0.51 at the largest. Now compare that with the pack lever: the same Fast generation costs $4.13 on the small pack and $2.07 on the large one, a $2.06 swing — twice what choosing Fast over standard ever saves you. For Seedance 2.0 the pack swing is $2.58. If you run Seedance 2 in any volume, pack size is the bigger decision.
How to choose in one pass
Three questions, in order, and the decision makes itself. Does your source material include a video clip? If yes, Seedance 2 is out — none of the three variants accept video input. Take an image-to-video path or another model. Do you need vertical or square? If yes, Seedance 2 is out again — it is 16:9. Still in? Then it is Fast at 6,200 against 2.0 at 7,750, and since the published characteristics match (720p, 5 s, audio included), Fast is the sensible default until your own side-by-side gives you a reason to pay the extra 1,550. If 6,200 credits per five-second clip is more than the shot is worth, the cheaper end of the same family is listed too: Seedance 1.0 at 1,200 credits (lite 720p, 5 s) and Seedance 1.5 at 2,500 credits (720p). One pricing detail worth knowing there: Seedance 1.5 and Kling V3 are each priced as two separate variants, audio off and audio on, with the audio-off variant close to half the price — pick the audio-off variant and the clip comes back silent by design. Seedance 2 Fast, Seedance 2.0, Veo-3.1 Fast, Veo-3.1 Pro, Kling v2.6 and Hailuo H3 are listed with audio in the bundle.
Questions people ask next
What is the actual difference between Seedance 2 Fast and Seedance 2.0?
On Doitong, 1,550 credits — 6,200 against 7,750, or $4.13 against $5.16 on the 30,000-credit pack. The published line is the same for both: 720p, 5 seconds, audio included, 16:9, no video input. What the extra 1,550 credits buys is not described in the characteristics we publish, so there is no resolution or length gain to point at. If you cannot tell the two apart on your own material, Fast is the rational default.
How much does Seedance 2 Mini cost?
The Seedance 2 prices we can quote are Fast at 6,200 credits and Seedance 2.0 at 7,750 credits. We are not putting a figure on Mini here. What is confirmed about Mini is the shared constraint: like Fast and 2.0, it is flagged as not accepting video input.
Why can't I upload a video into Seedance 2?
Because it does not accept one. All three Seedance 2 variants — Mini, Fast and 2.0 — are marked as not accepting video input in our integration. This is a model capability, not a file-format or size problem, so re-encoding or shrinking your clip will not help. Start from a text prompt or a still image, or check whether the model you switch to supports video-to-video before you run it.
Can I make a vertical 9:16 Seedance 2 video?
No. Seedance 2 works in 16:9. If your deliverable is Reels, Shorts or TikTok, you either crop the widescreen output in post — losing the edges of a frame composed for 16:9 — or you generate elsewhere and confirm the aspect support of that model first. Settle this before spending 6,200 credits.
Does Seedance 2 generate sound, or do I add it later?
Both priced Seedance 2 entries — Fast at 6,200 and 2.0 at 7,750 — are listed with audio in the bundle, as are Veo-3.1 Fast, Veo-3.1 Pro, Kling v2.6 and Hailuo H3. If a clip comes back silent, check which entry you ran: Seedance 1.5 and Kling V3 are each priced as two separate variants, audio off and audio on, and the audio-off variant is close to half the price. Note that Kling v2.6 and Kling V3 are different names — do not confuse them.
Why does my Seedance 2 clip stop at five seconds?
Five seconds is the unit you buy, not a truncation. Durations across the catalogue are deliberately uneven: Veo-3.1 Fast and Pro are listed at 8 seconds, Hailuo 2.3 at 6, 12 of the 17 listed models at 5, and Grok Video bills per second (480p at 350 credits per second, 720p at 450). If you need eight continuous seconds with sound, Veo-3.1 Fast at 1,500 credits — $1.00, $0.60 or $0.50 per generation depending on your pack — is both longer and far cheaper than a Seedance 2 clip.
Is there a cheaper way to test a Seedance shot before committing?
Yes — the earlier generations. Seedance 1.0 is 1,200 credits for lite 720p at 5 seconds, and Seedance 1.5 is 2,500 credits at 720p. That is roughly a fifth and two fifths of a Seedance 2 Fast generation, useful for testing framing, pacing and prompt wording. One caveat: the 16:9 and no-video-input limits described above are recorded for the Seedance 2 line, and we are making no claims here about the earlier models, so treat them as a rough rehearsal rather than a like-for-like preview.
Should I optimise the variant or the credit pack?
The pack, if you generate in volume. Choosing Fast over standard saves $1.03 per generation at most, on the smallest pack. Moving the same Fast generation from the 30,000-credit pack to the 300,000-credit pack takes it from $4.13 to $2.07 — a $2.06 saving, and $2.58 on every Seedance 2.0 generation. The pack rate applies to everything you run, not just Seedance.
