Seedance 2.5 price per second: 480p, 720p and 1080p
What a Seedance 2.5 clip costs on Sume at 480p, 720p and 1080p for 5, 10 and 30 seconds, from the pricing code. Cost scales close to linearly with seconds.

A Seedance 2.5 clip on Sume costs about $0.27 per second at 480p, $0.58 per second at 720p and $1.42 per second at 1080p for 16:9, before the agent fee. Cost scales close to linearly with duration, so a 30-second 720p clip is three times a 10-second one.
Sume bills video tokens, computed as width × height × seconds × 24 ÷ 1,024, at the list rate × 1.25, reserved on submit.
What does each combination cost?
Every figure comes from Sume's pricing helper for seedance-2.5, 16:9, no reference video.
| Resolution | 5 s | 10 s | 30 s |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | $1.35 | $2.69 | $8.07 |
| 720p | $2.89 | $5.78 | $17.34 |
| 1080p | $7.11 | $14.22 | $42.65 |
Why send duration every time?
If you omit duration, the estimate assumes a 4-second clip, which under-reports what a longer clip will cost. Set it explicitly and price the request first with estimate AI video cost before you run.
What changes the price besides length and resolution?
A reference video changes the estimate; see video reference cost. Aspect ratio moves it by cents: at 720p and 10 seconds, 21:9 and 4:3 come to slightly more than 16:9.
