When to choose each
Dreamina Seedance 2.5
Best for
- Multi-shot clips up to 30 seconds
- Timestamp-precise video editing
Watch out for
- Billed by tokens, not seconds: the recorded per-second rates are BytePlus estimates for a 5-second 16:9 clip without video input
- Requests with video input count the input duration and carry a minimum charge
- BytePlus dates the release only to June 2026
Wan 3.0 Video
Best for
- Long single-shot clips
- Reference-driven video mixing images, video and audio
Watch out for
- Alibaba labels it a preview
- Billing counts input video seconds as well as output, so reference clips add cost
- The independent leaderboards list a Wan 3.0 with a later date than this API model, so no score is matched to it
