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 | Higher cost — reserve for premium production tasks |
| 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 |
Seedance API workflows: cinematic production, ads, demos, and batch video
See how Seedance models fit into real video production pipelines and creative workflows.
Cinematic production video
For high-end brand videos, narrative content, and reference-heavy production workflows. When storyboard control, multimodal references, or real human video quality drives the output, start with Seedance 2.0.
Short ads and social clips
For ad variants, social hooks, and short-form creative iteration. When speed and cost matter more than premium control, test with Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast first.
Product demos and explainers
For demo videos from product imagery or prompts. When you need polished 1080p output with native audio on a straightforward route, start with Seedance 1.5 Pro.
Batch clip generation
For repeatable, cost-sensitive video production at scale. When unit cost and throughput drive the decision, start with Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast and upgrade to 1.5 Pro if quality requirements increase.

Access Seedance models through one EvoLink API
Current live Seedance routes are available through a single EvoLink API key. Switch between Seedance 2.0, 1.5 Pro, and 1.0 Pro Fast by changing the model parameter, while Seedance 2.5 remains an API status watch item until public access opens.
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
Native synchronized audio is available on Seedance 2.0 and 1.5 Pro. If audio is critical, these routes are your only options. If video-only output is sufficient, Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast offers the lowest entry cost.
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.
Pricing summary
This collection page summarizes the pricing shape of the family. The route pages own exact live pricing, but the current catalog snapshot already shows a clean split: Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast is the lowest-cost entry point, Seedance 1.5 Pro is the balanced cinematic route, and Seedance 2.0 is the premium control layer for more directed multimodal production.
Seedance 2.0
From $0.045/s
Price shape varies with resolution, mode, and multimodal usage.
Seedance 1.5 Pro
$0.0247/s
Best fit when you want premium 1080p output with native audio on a simpler route.
Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast
$0.0125/s
Use this route when cost and faster draft cycles matter more than premium control.
