Seedance 2.5 Flash price comparison: 480p and 720p
All amounts below are CNY, based on the approximate launch rates reproduced by IT Home on November 12. Compare text-to-video or image-to-video at the same resolution. The source does not establish the final bill for every reference-video or editing request.
| Model / resolution | Price / second | 10-second video | 30-second video | How much cheaper is Flash? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flash · 480p | 0.44 | 4.40 | 13.20 | — |
| Flagship · 480p | 0.67 | 6.70 | 20.10 | About 34.3% cheaper |
| Flash · 720p | 0.99 | 9.90 | 29.70 | — |
| Flagship · 720p | 1.51 | 15.10 | 45.30 | About 34.4% cheaper |
The rounded percentages come from the displayed approximate rates. They explain the announcement's “about 34%” claim; they are not an additional APIMaster discount. Do not compare a CNY price with a USD price without an explicit exchange-rate date and matched billing settings.
What does a batch of Flash videos cost?
For 100 ten-second clips, the launch-rate budgets are:
| Resolution | Flash budget | Flagship budget | Batch saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | CNY 440 | CNY 670 | Save CNY 230 |
| 720p | CNY 990 | CNY 1,510 | Save CNY 520 |
For 100 thirty-second clips at 720p, the same arithmetic gives CNY 2,970 for Flash versus CNY 4,530 for the flagship, saving CNY 1,560. These are generation budgets, not a promise of 100 usable clips. Regenerations, input processing, taxes or platform charges can change the total.
Choose 480p when composition and motion are the decision. Choose 720p when that output meets the delivery brief. A cheaper preview followed by another generation is two billable generations; budget both.
Is the cheapest Flash offer available yet?
The model launched on November 12 with a gradual rollout to creative tools. Launch reporting schedules the Volcano Ark API for November 15. A model announcement, a tool subscription and a generally available API are different purchasing options.
APIMaster's discounted Flash channels are upcoming. No APIMaster Flash percentage, per-second rate or delivery date has been announced here. We will publish discounted channels as soon as they become available. Until then, compare current Seedance cards rather than treating the launch benchmark as our checkout price.
Cheap Flash or standard Seedance 2.5?
Flash is aimed at frequent creative tests, advertising variants and batch production at 480p or 720p. The flagship supports higher-resolution production, including 1080p and the separately announced 4K offering. The launch comparison also lists Draft mode for the flagship and no Draft mode for Flash.
For a model decision, read Flash vs Seedance 2.5. For reference limits, release status and features, read the Flash overview. Lower price does not establish equal quality or a better cost per accepted shot.
