Dreamina Seedance 2.0 vs Seedance 1.5 Pro

vs

Which one, when — curated verdict, not a benchmark table

The older seedance-1-5-pro-251215 is the cheaper one at $2.4 per million video tokens against $7, and tops out at 1080p with clips of 4–12 s. dreamina-seedance-2-0-260128 buys range: 480p through 4K with 10-bit output at 4K, and clips of 4–15 s. Frame rate, native audio, the six aspect ratios and first/last-frame image-to-video are the same on both, so pick the 1.5 pro for cost at 1080p and below.

One prompt, both models — measured through the gateway

PROMPT A paper boat drifts across a rain puddle at dusk. The camera pushes in slowly as a single drop lands beside it and rings spread outward across the reflection.

One prompt, one request per model, no retries and no cherry-picking — the first result each model returned. Neither size nor duration was pinned: each model used its own default, because a request shaped to fit all of them would flatter none. Files here are re-encoded for the web, so judge composition and prompt adherence, not compression.

Switch between them with one line

Both ids are in every tab below — the highlighted pair of lines is the only edit. Same endpoint, same key, same request shape.

FAQ

Which is cheaper, Dreamina Seedance 2.0 or Seedance 1.5 Pro?

Seedance 1.5 Pro is cheaper on per 1m video tokens ($2.4 vs $7, 2.9× apart). Other rows may point the other way — the table above carries the full card, and real cost depends on your mix.

Can I A/B test Dreamina Seedance 2.0 against Seedance 1.5 Pro without two integrations?

Yes. Both are served through the same OpenAI-compatible endpoint with one API key — switching is a one-line model-string change, so you can route a fraction of traffic to each and compare bills directly.

What clip lengths and resolutions do they support?

The spec table above lists each model’s published resolutions and clip lengths, and marks whether a value is a fixed set of options or a continuous range — the two look alike and price differently, since per-second billing multiplies with length.
