BytePlus (official) — AI Video API Pricing
Official first-party API carrying 2 tracked video models, from $0.10/second — every scheme normalized to cost per second of output.
ByteDance's own first-party platform for Seedance; token-formula billing makes rates harder to read than resellers', but it is the source of truth.
- Models carried
- 2 tracked video models: Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.5.
- Billing scheme
- per-second, per-token — normalized to USD per second of output video on every row below. Token-based billing using formula (height * width * duration * 24) / 1024 tokens; per-1k-token rate varies by resolution tier
- Cheapest verified rate here
- $0.10/second on Seedance 2.5 (standard, 480p) — checked Aug 1, 2026.
- Class-leading
- Cheapest tracked provider for 1 of the 2 models it carries, in the comparable ~720p class.
- Referral status
- We hold no referral link for BytePlus (official) — every outbound link on this page is unpaid. Ranking is by verified price only.
- Sourcing
- Token formula cited from multiple secondary sources (reapi.ai, fal.ai model page); BytePlus ModelArk page confirmed but exact per-token video rates not directly readable; moderate confidence
All counts and rates in this panel are computed from the 3 prices tracked on this page.

How each price was normalized (derivations & sources)
- BytePlus (official) · standard · 480p: Stated directly on the ModelArk pricing page ('0.103 per second'); cross-checked: $0.514/video ÷ 5s = $0.1028. source ↗
- BytePlus (official) · standard · 720p: Official BytePlus token-billing; at 720p (1280x720), 1s = (1280*720*1*24)/1024 = 21600 tokens; 21600/1000 * $0.014 = $0.3024 — but reapi.ai verified BytePlus at $0.1512/s at 720p (likely different token rate or formula); using verified $0.1512/s source ↗
- BytePlus (official) · standard · 720p: Stated directly on the ModelArk pricing page ('0.231 per second'); cross-checked: $1.156/video ÷ 5s = $0.2312. i2v (input-with-video) is priced as a range keyed to input length — $1.244 to $4.838 per 5s video at 720p (2-30s input) — and is not normalizable to $/s; excluded from rate rankings per methodology. source ↗
