ByteDance's video model, listed on the official pricing pages of both Luma and InVideo AI. Luma publishes per-second rates by resolution, audio included by default, up to 4K; InVideo AI offers it from the Plus plan and only gives an approximate cost marked "~", which this site does not use as an exact rate. Whether Runway's Seedance 2.0 Pro and Seedance 2.0 Fast are the same model is not stated anywhere, so this site records them separately. PixVerse's site has a Seedance 2.0 page as well, with Standard and Fast generation modes.
Cheapest place to buy it at your volume

Does the cheapest way to pay change with volume?
One line per channel: an API is a straight line; a subscription is the cheapest plan that covers the month, so it climbs in steps and stops past the largest plan (extra credit packs are not counted).
At 10 videos a month, each channel costs:
- Volcengine Ark · API$7.43/moCheapest
- Replicate · API$9/mo
- fal · API$15.17/mo
- Runway API$18/mo
- Luma · Subscription$30/mo
- 1–500 videos a month: Volcengine Ark · API is cheapest

Rates come from Luma's official pricing page; seconds are the plan's credits divided by the rate. That is the ceiling if you do nothing else — credits also go to images, voice, upscaling and more, so the real total is lower. Where a model has several rows, the vendor prices clip lengths separately — the per-second rates really differ; it is not a typo. Models without an exact official rate we could find are left out; we don't estimate for them.
This model is included in plans on InVideo AI, PixVerse, Krea, Higgsfield, but we found no exact official rate for it there, so no durations are listed — we don't estimate on a vendor's behalf.
How the status is checked
Whether a model still runs is checked separately from prices: prices change monthly, but a model can disappear between two price syncs, quietly making every page that mentions it wrong. So each model record has its own confirmation date and review deadline; overdue records are flagged, never assumed to still be running.
Last confirmed on Sep 17, 2026; due to be rechecked by Oct 17, 2026.
