How do Seedance 2 credits work?
Seedance 2 team · Updated
Seedance 2 credits pay for every video and image, on the website and from AI assistants, at the same prices. Plan credits arrive every month and expire at the end of each monthly cycle; add-on credit packs last 90 days; new accounts get 6 free credits; failed generations are refunded automatically. There is no unlimited plan.
Three kinds of credits
| Balance | How you get it | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Free credits | 6 on sign-up, no card | Spend on any model; Seedance and Veo videos are watermarked until you are on a paid plan |
| Plan credits | Every month on a monthly or yearly plan | Until the end of each monthly cycle; they do not roll over |
| Credit packs | One-time purchase from $20 for 200 credits | 90 days from purchase |
How a generation is charged
- The price of your settings is shown before anything runs, on the website and in connected assistants (list_models).
- Video is charged by model, length, resolution and audio; images by model and resolution.
- Credits are taken when the generation starts.
- If the generation fails, its credits are refunded automatically.
Credit packs
Packs are one-time purchases with no subscription, for when a month's plan credits run out. Each lasts 90 days.

Credits in Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants
Assistants connected over MCP (https://www.seedance2.net/mcp) spend the same balance at the same prices. The get_account tool reads your balance and plan, and list_models reads prices; neither spends credits.
If an assistant says generating from connected apps needs a paid plan or a credit pack, nothing was charged: add a plan or a pack and ask again.
Questions
- Do Seedance 2 credits expire?
- No. Plan credits expire at the end of each monthly cycle, including on yearly plans, where they arrive month by month. Add-on credit packs are separate and last 90 days.
- Is there an unlimited plan?
- No. Every plan comes with a fixed number of credits a month, and every generation, on the website or from an assistant, spends credits. When they run out, add a credit pack or move to a larger plan.
- Can I get a refund?
- Subscriptions can be refunded within 3 days of the first purchase, minus an 8% fee. Credit packs are non-refundable. Refunds take 5 to 7 business days.
- What happens to my credits if I cancel?
- Yes, from your account settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, and your credits remain usable until then.
- Do failed generations use credits?
- No. If a generation fails, its credits are refunded automatically; the refund shows in your credit history.
- What can the free credits make?
- Instead of a timed trial, every new account gets 6 credits, enough to make a short 480p clip on Seedance 2 Mini and judge the quality before you subscribe. You can spend them on any model, though cheaper models stretch them further. Seedance and Veo videos are watermarked until you are on a paid plan.
