Seedance 2.5: official specs and per-second pricing
Seedance 2.5: official specs and per-second pricing from BytePlus, checked and dated.
Quick answer
Seedance 2.5 is the exact version identified on the current BytePlus product page and linked ModelArk API path.
The model-specific product section states direct output up to 30 seconds, and plan details show 4–30 seconds at 480P/720P. A generic section on the same page still says 5–10-second videos, so we list both instead of picking one.
Pricing loads dynamically on the checked BytePlus page, so this page gives no rate.
The ModelArk pricing doc gives estimated list-price examples of $0.103/s at 480p, $0.231/s at 720p, and $0.569/s at 1080p for 5-second 16:9 output without video input; actual billing follows returned token usage.

03FAQ
Does Seedance 2.5 allow NSFW content?
No. Seedance 2.5 is available through Dreamina and BytePlus ModelArk under the same rules as the rest of the family: obscene and pornographic material is banned, and the API side adds automated input moderation plus a safety_identifier field used to detect policy violators.
04Sources
BytePlus Seedance 2.5 product page
Names “Dreamina Seedance 2.5”, links model `dreamina-seedance-2-5-260628`, and shows 4–30 seconds plus 480P/720P in model-plan details.
Scope: A generic marketing section on the same page says 5–10-second videos. Pricing was still loading during the earlier product-page check, so this source gives no rate and no single duration figure.
