APIMaster vs WaveSpeedAI: Seedance Prices With the Promotion Included
Compare Seedance 2.5, 2.0 and Mini using WaveSpeedAI's standard prices and its displayed 10% promotion, with clear limits on the estimate.
A price comparison should not ignore the other provider's discount. On November 5, 2026, WaveSpeedAI's Seedance pages listed standard output prices and displayed a 10% promotion in the generator area. We include both, rather than comparing APIMaster only with the crossed-out price.
There is one limit: we did not obtain a logged-in final estimate for the same 720p job. The promotional column below is conditional on that 10% reduction applying to the published 720p output rate.
Standard prices and the promotion scenario
USD per output second, 720p text-to-video, without reference-video input. APIMaster figures are the lowest active public routes checked that day. This site directs readers to APIMaster.
| Model | APIMaster | WaveSpeedAI standard | If the displayed 10% applies | APIMaster below that promotion scenario |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.5 | $0.218916864 | $0.36 | $0.324 | 32.43% |
| Seedance 2.0 | $0.14321664 | $0.24 | $0.216 | 33.70% |
| Seedance 2.0 Mini | $0.0376488 | $0.12 | $0.108 | 65.14% |
Compared with WaveSpeedAI's standard prices, the differences are 39.19%, 40.33% and 68.63%. Those percentages use a different denominator. They are not the savings against the promotion scenario.
APIMaster's configured market references for these versions are $0.23112, $0.1512 and $0.0756 per second. The checked lows are 5.28%, 5.28% and 50.20% below those references, with five, five and three active public routes. A marketplace reference is not the same thing as a competitor's price.
Check Seedance on APIMaster and configure the same job on WaveSpeedAI before topping up either account.
What does that mean for a five-second clip?
For 2.5, APIMaster's checked rate gives a five-second budget of $1.0946. WaveSpeedAI's standard table gives $1.80. If the 10% promotion applies to that configuration, the budget becomes $1.62.
For Mini, the corresponding budgets are $0.1882, $0.60 and $0.54. These examples multiply output rates by duration; they do not include reference-video input or unverified account-specific bonuses.
Check the configured total, not just the button
The generator area shows a base price, while the request can vary by resolution, duration, audio and reference inputs. Set those first, then read the estimate. Save the quote if a promotional rate is an important part of your decision, and check whether it has an end date or account conditions.
We have not confirmed a same-name WaveSpeedAI quote for Seedance 2.0 Fast in this check. A product called Turbo should not be substituted into a Fast row without verifying that it is the same version and specification.
When is changing providers worth it?
If you only need a few clips, a working interface may matter more than a modest saving. If you generate batches, calculate the difference using the rate you can actually buy. Then test integration and finished output with a small budget before moving the whole workload.
This is a price comparison, not a quality or latency benchmark. The fal comparison covers token billing; the Fast/Mini guide covers version selection.
