Trying many frontier models in one subscription (Seedance, Wan and more).

|---|---|---|---|---|

Credits explained
Plan credits refresh monthly. Official pricing table: Seedance 2.5 720p 5s = 122 credits; Wan 3.0 720p 5s = 33 credits. Top-up credits are separate — check expiry in-product (support page says top-ups expire 365 days after purchase).
| Model / mode | Rate | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wan 3.0 · 720p | 6.6 credits/sec | Verified rate | Verified: 33 credits / 5s at 720p |
| Seedance 2.5 · 720p | 24.4 credits/sec | Verified rate | Verified: 122 credits / 5s at 720p |
Cost per finished video (before retries)
| Length | Cheapest calculable cost | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| 5s finished video (1 attempt, no retries) | $0.29 | Wan 3.0 · 720p on Starter (annual) |
| 30s finished video (1 attempt, no retries) | $1.76 | Wan 3.0 · 720p on Starter (annual) |
| 60s finished video (1 attempt, no retries) | $3.52 | Wan 3.0 · 720p on Starter (annual) |
Retries multiply this: with 2 retries (3 attempts total) a 30s video costs roughly 3× the table price. Use the calculator with your real retry count.
Watermark & commercial use
Watermark: Official pricing table: No watermark = Yes for Free, Starter, Creator and Fancy.
Commercial: Official pricing table: Commercial license = No on Free & Starter; Yes on Creator & Fancy. That is the key trap.
Plan traps to know
- Starter has NO commercial license despite being paid — upgrade to Creator for commercial use.
- Plan credits do not carry over; they refresh every month.
- Top-up credits cannot be used with API/MCP/iOS/old Pika (pricing page note).
