How to decide which Seedance model to use
Follow these 4 rules to narrow down your choice for video generation.
Start with output control needs
Storyboard direction, multimodal references, real human video, camera behavior — start with Seedance 2.0.
Then check audio requirements
If native synchronized audio matters for your cinematic output, compare Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 1.5 Pro.
Then check iteration speed
Ad variants, social hooks, creator tools, rapid storyboard drafts — compare Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast.
Finally, weigh cost vs. quality
If the same pipeline mixes premium and draft clips, route premium tasks to Seedance 2.0 and drafts to Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast.
If you already know your workflow type, find the recommended starting point in the table below.
Choose a Seedance model by workflow: cinematic, ads, references, and batch production
Match your primary video workflow to the right Seedance route.
| Your workflow | Recommended start | Good fit if... | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reference-heavy cinematic production | Seedance 2.0 | You need multimodal references, storyboard control, real human video, or directed camera behavior | Compare current rates for the settings you need. |
| Polished 1080p video with audio | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Your workflow needs cinematic output with native synchronized audio on a simpler route | No multimodal reference control — use Seedance 2.0 for that |
| Fast ad variants and drafts | Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast | Iteration speed and cost matter more than premium control | Video only — no native audio support |
| Batch clip production at scale | Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast | High-volume repeatable clips where unit cost drives the decision | Test output quality first — upgrade to 1.5 Pro if needed |

Access Seedance models through one EvoLink API
Seedance 2.5, 2.0, 1.5 Pro, and 1.0 Pro Fast are available through a single EvoLink API key. Switch routes by changing the model parameter.
Switch model="seedance-2-0-text-to-video" to model="seedance-1-pro-fast" without rebuilding your integration.How to think about Seedance API cost: production quality, audio, and volume
Premium production amplifies per-clip cost
Reference-heavy workflows, real human video, and multimodal direction produce higher-quality output but cost more per generation. If production value justifies the cost, Seedance 2.0 quality may matter more than unit price.
Audio adds value but narrows your options
Seedance 2.0 and 1.5 Pro support native synchronized audio. Check the selected route’s audio capabilities and current rates when planning audio-video workflows.
High-volume workflows need low unit cost
Ad variants, social clips, and batch production at scale should prioritize unit cost. Test with Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast for speed, then upgrade to 1.5 Pro if output quality needs to improve.
