We checked every platform that offers ByteDance Seedance 2.0. Saga is cheaper than fal.ai, Replicate, and PiAPI — and unlike bare API providers, you get a full composer, live pricing, and automatic refunds. The number below is live, not a screenshot from last month.
All prices are for the standard Seedance 2.0 model (not Fast) at 720p, no audio, pulled from each platform's public pricing page. Saga's number is live from the API; the rest were verified on July 22, 2026.

Promotional discount on Seedance. Every model whose ID starts with bytedance/seedance gets 17% off the listed price, automatically, at checkout. No coupon, no email signup, no limited-time timer.
No credit system. Credits are a unit designed to obscure the real price. Saga prices in dollars — the number you see is the number you pay. Your balance is in dollars, your receipt is in dollars, and it never expires.
Failed renders cost nothing. If a render errors, the full charge returns to your balance immediately. That is a code path, not a support ticket. You only pay for clips that succeed.
Seedance 2.0 is the model behind most of the work on this site. It runs to 15 seconds in one shot, up to 4K, and holds a true 21:9 anamorphic frame — which is why it can carry a scene instead of a moment. It generates native audio with the picture, so a draft arrives with room tone and impacts already in it.
Seedance 2.0 Fast is the same family at a lower rate and a shorter resolution ladder — the one to draft on when you are trying ten ideas and expect to keep one. Both are in the same composer; switching is a dropdown, and the price updates before you commit.
Saga Studio offers Seedance 2.0 at $0.176 per second at 720p, $0.078 per second at 480p, and $0.395 per second at 1080p. This is cheaper than fal.ai ($0.303/s), Replicate ($0.18/s), and PiAPI ($0.20/s). Wavespeed offers a bare API at $0.15/s but has no studio interface, composer, or auto-refunds.
