Dzine vs Elyumfor Seedance 2.0
Elyum charges Seedance 2.0 only when you keep a take; Dzine sells the same model behind video-credit plans and does not publish the per-second price.
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's video model, launched February 12, 2026. It is built for photoreal motion, native audio with the picture, and mixed references: up to nine stills and three clips in one generate. Clips run 4 to 15 seconds. Character-locked product films are the usual job. You lock a face, a product, and a camera move, then describe how they combine. Speech, room tone, and effects land in the same take, not as a second pass.
The model is the same. The platforms are not. On Elyum you preview every render for free, then keep the take (that is when credits charge) or kill it for a full refund. Prices are listed per second by resolution on the Seedance 2.0 page. On Dzine, Seedance 2.0 needs a plan with video credits. The Beginner plan ($8.99/mo) has none. Creator starts at $24.99/mo with 3,000 video credits. Dzine does not publish a per-second Seedance 2.0 price. Failed-generation policy on Dzine is unpublished.
Dzine is the better desk if you want a layer-based canvas and adjacent tools (face swap, lip sync, upscaling, Midjourney) in one subscription. Elyum does not have a timeline editor, stock footage, avatars, a mobile app, team seats, or a community feed. If those matter more than a published keep price, stay on Dzine. If you also want Seedance 2.0 next to Kling 3.0 or Veo 3.1 with one credit balance, that is the Elyum side.
Seedance 2.0 on Dzine
Dzine lists Seedance 2.0 as a video model on its AI video tool page. Video tools unlock on Creator and above. Creator is $24.99/mo ($12.49/mo yearly) with 6,000 image credits and 3,000 video credits per month, and rollover up to 3 months. Master is $59.99/mo with 9,000 video credits. Master Pro is $149.99/mo with 30,000. Beginner ($8.99/mo) is image-only. The free tier is image-only as well (about 30-32 daily image credits; third-party writeups also cite 50-100 signup credits).
Dzine does not publish how many video credits a Seedance 2.0 clip costs, cents per credit, or what a failed or bad take costs. Watermark on paid files is unpublished. Third-party pricing summaries say commercial use is available on paid plans; that claim was not independently verified on the official site. A Trustpilot reviewer wrote that video output looked blurry and below advertised resolution. Another reported generation times throttled to around 11 minutes per image after hitting an undefined fair-use limit on an unlimited plan (that report is about images, not Seedance specifically).
Seedance 2.0 on Elyum
On Elyum, Seedance 2.0 is billed per second of the clip you keep. 480p is 6 credits/second (5s = 32 credits = $0.32; 15s = 96 credits = $0.96). 720p is 16 credits/second (5s = 80 credits = $0.80; 15s = 240 credits = $2.40). 1080p is 24 credits/second (5s = 120 credits = $1.20; 15s = 360 credits = $3.60). Clips are 4 to 15 seconds with native audio. Routes are text to video, image to video, reference to video, and video editing. Four aspect ratios.
Every render comes back as a free preview. Credits move only when you keep the take. Kill the rest and they refund in full. A failed generation is never charged. Free-plan kills are metered (one kill a month); paid plans kill freely. Kept downloads have no watermark and include commercial use. 1 credit = $0.01. The Free plan is up to 150 credits once (our algorithm may grant them), no card. Plus is $9/mo, Pro $29/mo, Ultra $69/mo; see Elyum pricing. The same balance also drives the studio from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor via the MCP docs and the REST API.

Where the two differ
Elyum bills Seedance 2.0 per second of a kept clip (6.4 / 16 / 24 credits at 480p / 720p / 1080p). Dzine sells monthly video-credit pools and does not publish the Seedance 2.0 debit per clip.
On Elyum a kill refunds the take in full; failed generates are never charged. Free plan: one kill a month. Paid plans kill freely. Dzine's failed-generation and bad-take policy is unpublished.
Dzine video tools (including Seedance 2.0) start at Creator, $24.99/mo, 3,000 video credits. Beginner ($8.99/mo) and the free tier are image-only. Elyum's Free plan can run Seedance 2.0 as long as 150 credits cover a keep.
Dzine's layer-based canvas is the reason people stay: compositional control plus face swap, consistent character, lip sync, and upscaling in one desk. Elyum is a multi-model studio with one credit balance and no timeline editor, no stock footage, and no avatars of its own.
Elyum runs Seedance 2.0 from the web studio or from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor via MCP and a REST API. Dzine API access is unpublished.
Elyum kept takes download without a watermark, commercial use included. Dzine watermark on paid files is unpublished; third-party summaries say commercial use is on paid plans. Creator, Master, and Master Pro roll unused credits up to 3 months. Beginner credits do not roll over.
Pick Dzine when
- You want a layer-based canvas so you can compose stills and clips before you generate, which reviewers call unusual among AI generators.
- You need lip sync, face swap, upscaling, or Midjourney in the same subscription as Seedance 2.0, not a second account.
- You already pay for Creator or Master and want unused video credits to roll over for up to 3 months.
- You want Dzine's Discord and the long Stylar-to-Dzine history around the canvas, not a newer multi-model studio.
Pick Elyum when
- A 5s 480p keep is 30 credits ($0.30). You can see the rate before you generate. Dzine does not publish the debit.
- Bad takes: kill and refund in full. Failed generates are never charged. That is the whole billing story.
- Free plan is up to 150 credits once (our algorithm may grant them), no card. You do not need Creator-level spend just to touch the model.
- One credit balance across 50+ models; kept files have no watermark and include commercial use.
Seedance 2.0 in three styles, rendered on Elyum
Getting the most out of Seedance 2.0
- Write the camera as a shot list, not a mood. Example: slow dolly-in, 35mm, product stays center for 6 seconds, then a 20-degree pan to the hands. Seedance 2.0 holds multi-subject action for a full 4-15s take when the path is specific.
- Map the nine image slots before you write prose. Slot 1 face, slot 2 wardrobe, slot 3 product, slots 4-6 lighting and set, rest for inserts. Then describe how those locked pieces move. That is the character-lock path.
- Spend the three clip references on motion you cannot type: a handheld move, cloth, a logo orbit. Do not burn a clip slot on a still. Stills belong in the nine image slots.
- Write audio in the same prompt. Name the speaker, one short quoted line, the room (hard tile vs treated studio), and one foley hit. Seedance 2.0 builds speech, room tone, and effects with the picture, not as a second pass.
- Keep one location, one action beat, and one camera path per 4-15s clip. Four scene changes in 15 seconds will smear faces and products. Cut in edit if you need a sequence.
- When you use video editing, name the surgical change: hold the face from reference 1, replace the tabletop, keep the original camera. Do not prompt a full restage unless you want a new generate.
