Seedance 2.5: Features, Pricing & How to Use It Online (2026)
Short answer: Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance’s newest video model. It makes clips up to 30 seconds in one pass, generates sound and lip-synced dialogue, and accepts far larger reference sets than 2.0. You can use it online without Dreamina in our Seedance 2.5 AI video generator, from 215 credits (about $5.36) per clip.
An earlier version of this page, written before the release, said 2.5 could not be verified. It has been rewritten now that the model is available.
