Sources: kie.ai pricing API and Replicate model pages, fetched by the APITariff engine 2026-09-29. The fal.ai figures are the per-second rates its model pages state, worded “roughly” or “approximately”, read 2026-09-30. Our engine record for fal.ai Seedance 2.5 holds the 480p price, $0.2205, so the table uses fal.ai’s stated 720p rate instead. Rows for fal.ai’s us variants and its reference-to-video endpoints are excluded.

Is Seedance 2.0 cheaper on Replicate, fal.ai or kie.ai?

Replicate is cheapest for Seedance 2.0 at all four resolutions without a video input, against kie.ai (rates read 2026-09-29). Against fal.ai it is cheaper at 720p, and by fal.ai’s token formula at 480p and 1080p too, about $0.1345 and $0.6804 a second. With a video input the order flips and kie.ai is cheapest.

Resolution	Replicate, no video / with video	kie.ai, no video / with video
480p	0.08 / 0.10	0.095 / 0.057
720p	0.18 / 0.22	0.205 / 0.125
1080p	0.45 / 0.55	0.51 / 0.31
4K	1.00 / 1.25	1.04 / 0.64

Sources: kie.ai pricing API and Replicate model pages, fetched 2026-09-29. At 720p without video input, kie.ai costs 13.9% more than Replicate ($0.205 against $0.18). With a video input, Replicate adds 22% to its rate ($0.22) and kie.ai drops 39% from its own ($0.125), which is 43.2% under Replicate.

fal.ai prices Seedance 2.0 at $0.014 per 1,000 tokens for 480p, 720p and 1080p, so its per-second cost rises with resolution. The fal.ai page we read shows no video-input row.

How does fal.ai bill Seedance?

By token, not by second. fal.ai’s model pages, read 2026-09-30, give the formula “(height of output video * width of output video * duration * 24) / 1024”. A 1280 by 720 clip is 21,600 tokens per second by that formula, and fal.ai states that audio is included at no extra charge.

At $0.014 per 1,000 tokens, the bare formula gives $0.3024 a second for Seedance 2.0, and fal.ai’s page states about $0.3034. Seedance 2.0 Mini is $0.007 per 1,000 tokens and Seedance 2.5 is $0.0214. The page figures differ from the bare formula by up to about 2%, so this article prints the page figures.

The 2.5 page prices 480p at about $0.2205, 720p at about $0.4730 and 1080p at about $1.164 a second, so the 480p figure is about a fifth of the 1080p one.

What does an AI video generation API cost per clip?

For Seedance 2.0 at 720p, a 5-second clip costs $0.900 on Replicate, $1.025 on kie.ai and about $1.517 on fal.ai (read 2026-09-29 and 2026-09-30). A 10-second clip costs twice that, and 100 clips of 5 seconds cost $90.00, $102.50 and about $151.70.

Host	5 s clip	10 s clip	100 clips of 5 s
Replicate	$0.900	$1.800	$90.00
kie.ai	$1.025	$2.050	$102.50
fal.ai	about $1.517	about $3.034	about $151.70

Computed 2026-09-30 as rate times seconds, from the 720p rates above. A 5-second 720p clip on Seedance 2.0 Mini costs $0.205 on kie.ai, $0.45 on Replicate and about $0.7735 on fal.ai. Seedance 1.5 Pro, an older model, lists $0.0175 a second on kie.ai and $0.026 on Replicate at 720p without audio (both read 2026-09-29), less than any 2.x row in the table. Our data has no quality measure for any Seedance model, so a lower rate is not a claim about the video.

Where does kie.ai cost more than Replicate or fal.ai?

On Seedance 2.5, kie.ai charges 36.2% more than Replicate ($0.315 against $0.2312) but 33.4% less than fal.ai’s stated 720p rate of about $0.4730 (read 2026-09-29 and 2026-09-30). It also costs more on Seedance 2.0 without a video input, as the resolution table shows. kie.ai wins on Fast, 17.3% under Replicate ($0.124 against $0.15), and on Mini, 54.4% under ($0.041 against $0.09).

kie.ai is a reseller and APITariff earns a commission if you sign up through it. The commission changed none of the rates in this article.

Which Seedance model costs what, version by version?

On kie.ai, Seedance 2.0 at 720p costs 5.0 times Mini ($0.205 against $0.041). On Replicate, Seedance 2.5 costs 28.4% more than Seedance 2.0 at 720p ($0.2312 against $0.18), and on fal.ai 55.9% more ($0.4730 against $0.3034). Fast sits between Mini and 2.0 on both kie.ai ($0.124) and Replicate ($0.15).

Resolution moves the rate more than version does. Seedance 2.0 on Replicate goes from $0.08 at 480p to $1.00 at 4K, 12.5 times, and on kie.ai from $0.095 to $1.04, 10.9 times (read 2026-09-29). The Mini and other model records show each row’s lowest tier, usually 480p, not the 720p rate used above.

What does this page not cover?

• ByteDance’s own API: the BytePlus ModelArk documentation page, last updated 2026-09-28, returned no price table to our fetch on 2026-09-30. Third-party pages quote different rates for it, so we print none.
• OpenRouter: it lists Seedance 2.5, its page showed no price to our fetch on 2026-09-30, and our engine holds no OpenRouter Seedance row, so it is not compared.
• Audio: fal.ai says audio is included. Our data for Replicate and kie.ai does not say whether their Seedance 2.0 rows include it.
• Quality: we have run no Seedance bench. The comparison is price only.
• Free credits: some hosts advertise them. We did not read the terms, so we state none.

How we read the prices

The APITariff engine reads the kie.ai pricing API once a day, using its usdPrice field, and reads each Replicate model page’s billing data. Both were fetched on 2026-09-29. We read fal.ai’s model pages by hand on 2026-09-30, because its per-second figures depend on the resolution and token formula. Every rate is per second of generated video, at the resolution named, with no video input unless the row says so. The kie.ai price page lists every kie.ai row, and the kie.ai against list prices comparison covers its text models. For your own clip length and volume, the token calculator does the arithmetic on any rate.
