Per-video examples and the estimation formula are in [Seedance billing and pricing](/en/api-capabilities/seedance2-video-generation#billing-and-pricing). A task's actual charge is the sum of its pre-charge and settlement rows in your [call logs](https://api.laozhang.ai/log).

## Who is affected

* **Most requests**: Seedance 2.5 at 480p and 720p, and every resolution of Seedance 2.0, fast, and mini, cost about 5% less per token.
* **Seedance 2.5 at 1080p**: previously billed at the 480p and 720p rate, it now uses Volcengine's 1080p rate, about 5% more per token.
* **Unchanged**: the request format, the token group, and how the two log rows reconcile.

## What to do

1. **No code or token changes.** Existing requests and `SeeDance2` tokens keep working.
2. **Update your cost estimates.** Use the new prices above, and re-check budgets if you generate a lot of Seedance 2.5 video at 1080p.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why did the prices change?

Video models are now priced at 1.2× the official list price, and the markup covers taxes, currency conversion and cross-border settlement, platform operations, and technical support. Seedance was at about 1.26×, so it comes down to the same standard.

### Why does Seedance 2.5 at 1080p cost more now?

Volcengine charges more per token for Seedance 2.5 at 1080p (¥77) than at 480p and 720p (¥70). LaoZhang API used to bill 1080p at the lower rate and now follows Volcengine's tiers.
