Questions
About Seedance without a subscription
Do I need a subscription to use Seedance?
Not on GenMagic. You top up a balance from $5 and each Seedance clip draws its own price from it, shown before you generate. Top-up credit never expires. There is no ByteDance account or key to set up: one GenMagic account runs every model.
How much does a Seedance video cost?
It depends on the model, the length, the resolution and whether it has sound. Today a typical clip costs $0.17 on Seedance 1.5 Pro (5 s at 480p), $0.25 on Seedance 2.0 Mini (5 s at 480p), $0.30 on Seedance 2.0 Fast (5 s at 480p), $0.50 on Seedance 2.0 (5 s at 480p), $0.77 on Seedance 2.5 (5 s at 480p). The studio shows the price for your exact settings before you press Generate, and that is what your balance pays.
Is there a free trial?
A new account gets $0.50 of credit once its email is verified, enough for a 5 s at 480p Seedance 1.5 Pro clip ($0.17). It works on every model, with no card needed.
Can Seedance animate my own picture?
Yes, on Seedance 1.5 Pro, Seedance 2.0 Mini, Seedance 2.0 Fast, Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.5: upload an image and the clip opens on it. Seedance 2.0 Mini, Seedance 2.0 Fast, Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.5 also take reference images that keep a character or product the same through the clip.
Can I use Seedance from n8n, my own code or an AI assistant?
Yes, from the same balance and at the same price: the GenMagic API (POST /api/v1/videos with the model's id, for example bytedance/seedance-2.0), the verified n8n node, Zapier, Make and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.
What if a video fails?
A render that fails is not charged. You pay only for clips that come back.
