AI product video model benchmark
Seedance 2 team · Updated
We gave the same product-commercial prompt to five video models on Seedance 2 and ran each one twice. Veo 3.1 was the cheapest (10 credits for 8 seconds) and fastest (about a minute), but in a frame checked at the 2-second mark it had laid the bottle on its side in both runs, although the prompt says it stands. At the same point Seedance 2.5 (60 credits for 5 seconds at 720p), Seedance 2.0, Kling 4.0 and Wan 3.0 had it standing on the stone in their first runs; Seedance 2.5's second run had tipped it over. Watch the clips below and judge the motion and light yourself.
The prompt
Product commercial. A frosted glass skincare serum bottle with a gold cap stands on a wet black stone. Water droplets slide down the glass, the camera makes a slow half orbit around the bottle, soft rim light, shallow depth of field, dark studio background. Sound: soft water drips, low ambient synth. No text, no logo.
Settings: text to video, 5 seconds at 720p (Veo 3.1 only makes 8-second clips), 16:9, sound on.
Results
Times run from submitting the job to the finished file and include queueing; all ten jobs were sent at once.
| Model | Clip | Credits per run | Time to video (run 1 / run 2) | Bottle standing (frame at 2 s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.5 | 5 s, 720p | 60 | 2 min 43 s / 3 min 0 s | Run 1 yes; run 2 tipped over |
| Seedance 2.0 | 5 s, 720p | 39 | 2 min 15 s / 5 min 14 s | Yes, both runs |
| Kling 4.0 | 5 s, 720p | 35 | 3 min 38 s / 3 min 56 s | Yes, both runs |
| Veo 3.1 | 8 s, 720p | 10 | 1 min 7 s / 1 min 6 s | No, lying on its side in both runs |
| Wan 3.0 | 5 s, 720p | 20 | 1 min 57 s / 2 min 14 s | Yes, both runs |
Watch the clips
Which model to pick for product video
- Seedance 2.5 when you want sound and speech made with the picture, clips up to 30 seconds, or a multi-shot ad built from up to 30 reference images (Kling 4.0 and Wan 3.0 also go to 30 seconds).
- Veo 3.1 for a cheap 8-second draft; check that the product is placed the way you asked.
- Seedance 2.0 or Wan 3.0 when cost matters and 5 seconds is enough.
- Run the shot twice either way: every model here gave two different takes from one prompt.
How this was made
Made on 2026-11-12 through the Seedance 2 MCP server (https://www.seedance2.net/mcp), the same way Claude, ChatGPT or Codex would call it, on a paid Seedance 2 account, so there is no watermark. Credits and times are what each run actually charged and took.

Questions
- Which AI video model is best for product ads?
- In this test every model gave a usable studio look, but they did not all follow the placement in the prompt: Veo 3.1 laid the bottle down in both runs. Pick by length, sound and budget, and always make two takes.
- How much does a 5-second AI product video cost on Seedance 2?
- From 10 credits (Veo 3.1, 8 seconds) to 60 credits (Seedance 2.5 at 720p) in this test. Current prices for every model are on https://www.seedance2.net/pricing.md.
