Seedance 2.5 on Black Friday: 100 Five-Second Clips for About $84

If you plan to batch Seedance 2.5 videos during Black Friday week, start with one number: a 5-second 720p clip is $1.02 at list, so 100 clips are $102. Top up $100 on HiAPI during Black Friday, spend it on video, and those 100 clips end up costing about $84.

HiAPI's Black Friday runs Nov 24, 00:00 PT to Nov 30, 23:59 PT. Seedance 2.5 is a video model, so both the top-up bonus and the spend-back apply.

The math: 10 clips, 100 clips, 100 clips at 1080p

"What it really costs" is what you paid in, minus what's left in your balance afterwards (unused bonus plus the spend-back that lands on Dec 3). The spend-back tier counts the whole week's image, video and audio spend, so a few more image or video jobs the same week can push the 100-clip row toward the 15% tier.

Seedance 2.5 price per second on 7 platforms

These are the public list prices we checked on each platform on the evening of Nov 10 (Beijing time), without a reference video (text-to-video and image-to-video), per second:

HiAPI has the lowest list price in this table. At the $500 Black Friday tier, 720p works out to about $0.157 a second.

Three caveats:

• Reference video is priced differently. HiAPI's reference-to-video is $0.2715 a second at 720p. Some platforms list a lower with-reference rate (KIE $0.19, APIMart $0.1296), but they also bill the length of the input video. For reference-video work, run the numbers on your own clip lengths.
• fal and Together don't fit the table. fal prices Seedance 2.5 per token ($0.0214 per 1,000 tokens, with no per-second figure on the page). Together lists $0.115 per video regardless of resolution or length.
• None of these platforms had announced a Black Friday deal as of Nov 10. The "X% below official" labels on their pages are standing prices, not Black Friday discounts.

How to spend the least on Seedance 2.5 this Black Friday

1. Top up in one payment. The bonus is per payment: $300 at once gets $30, three $100 top-ups get $24.
2. Run your video jobs that week. Spend-back is set by the week's total and applies to all of it. At $280, another $20 moves you from 10% to 15%.
3. Iterate at 720p, render at 1080p. 1080p costs 2.5 times as much per second, so do your prompt revisions at 720p.
4. Hand the text work to free DeepSeek. Shot lists and prompt rewrites can run on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, free up to 10M tokens a day for accounts that have topped up.
