Facts verified2026-09-07

Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's video model for grounded, camera-like clips. Faces, products, and rooms hold together across the shot instead of sliding into stylized mush. On Elyum it does text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video (up to nine stills and three clips), and clip edits, with native sound and dialogue in the same take. You can restyle, extend, or rewrite an existing clip without starting from a blank prompt. The Seedance 2.0 page lists the modes.

The model weights are the same vendor model. The platforms are not. Krea meters Seedance 2.0 in compute units; Krea's pricing page quotes about 20 Seedance 2.0 videos per 5,000 Basic units. Elyum prices by resolution and seconds and only charges a keep. Krea has no published credit-back for a bad individual generation. On Elyum a kill refunds the hold in full (Free meters kills at one a month; paid plans kill freely). Plan gating differs too: Krea Basic ($9/mo) is the first paid tier that quotes Seedance 2.0 volume, while Elyum's Free plan (up to 150 credits once (our algorithm may grant them), no card) can preview and keep if the balance covers it. See Elyum pricing.

Krea is the broader suite. Real-time canvas, Krea Nodes, LoRA training, 3D, an iOS app, and Business team seats (up to 50) are things Elyum does not ship. Elyum is one studio and one credit balance, plus MCP and a REST API from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. It has no timeline editor, no stock footage, no avatars, no mobile app, no team seats, and no community feed. If those extras are the job, Krea wins the platform even when Elyum wins the Seedance 2.0 invoice. Compare the next model on Krea vs Elyum for Seedance 2.5.

Seedance 2.0 on Krea

Seedance 2.0 is offered on Krea as the flagship Seedance 2.0 with native audio, references, and frame animation. Krea's pricing page lists about 20 Seedance 2.0 videos per 5,000 Basic compute units (about 250 units per video, about $0.45 at the $9 rate). Pro is $35/mo for 20,000 units (about 83 Seedance 2.0 videos). Max is $105/mo for 60,000 units (about 250 videos). Monthly plan units do not roll over. One-time compute packs expire after 90 days.

A failed or ugly Seedance 2.0 take has no published credit-back on Krea. Krea's refunds and billing docs cover subscription cancellation refunds only when workspace usage is below 650 compute units and fewer than 20 generations that month, processed in 5-10 business days. They do not state a policy for individual failed generations. Free is 100 compute units a day with limited video access and no commercial license. Basic and above include a commercial license. Watermark policy on free or paid Seedance 2.0 files is not stated on krea.ai.

Seedance 2.0 on Elyum

On Elyum, Seedance 2.0 runs 4-15s at 480p, 720p, and 1080p with native audio. Modes are text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, and video editing. Rates are 6 credits per second at 480p, 16 at 720p, and 24 at 1080p. A 5s keep is 30 credits ($0.30) at 480p, 80 credits ($0.80) at 720p, or 120 credits ($1.20) at 1080p. A 15s keep is 90 credits ($0.90), 240 credits ($2.40), or 360 credits ($3.60).

Every render comes back as a free preview. Credits charge only when you KEEP the take. Kill the rest and the hold refunds in full; a failed generation is never charged. Free meters kills at one a month; Plus ($9/mo), Pro ($29/mo), and Ultra ($69/mo) kill freely. Kept files download full quality, no watermark, commercial use included. You can also drive the same Seedance 2.0 model from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor via Elyum's MCP server and REST API.

Where the two differ

Compute units vs listed seconds

Krea spends compute units on each Seedance 2.0 render (about 250 units, about $0.45 on Basic). Elyum lists a per-second rate by resolution and charges only a keep. Monthly Krea units do not roll over; one-time packs expire in 90 days.

Failed and ugly takes

Krea does not publish a credit-back for a failed or bad individual generation. Subscription refunds are gated at under 650 units and under 20 generations that month. Elyum never charges a failed generation; a kill refunds the hold in full.

Editor, Nodes, and mobile

Krea ships real-time canvas, Krea Nodes / App Builder (Pro+), LoRA training, 3D, upscalers to 22K, and an iOS app. Elyum has no timeline editor, no stock footage, no avatars, no mobile app, and no team seats. Workflow builders live on Krea; keep/kill lives on Elyum.

API, MCP, and agents

Krea offers a public API with some fixed USD prices (Nano Banana 2 is published; Seedance 2.0 API list price was not fully enumerated). Elyum exposes the same model through MCP and a REST API from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor.

Commercial license

Krea includes a commercial license on Basic, Pro, Max, Business, and Enterprise. The Free plan does not. Elyum includes commercial use on kept takes, including the Free 150-credit grant. Suite gaps are on the Krea alternative page.

Team seats and concurrency

Krea Business is listed at $200/mo by third-party pricing writeups ($160/mo yearly) for up to 50 seats and a pooled compute pool. Max and Business add expanded concurrency and unlimited relaxed generations on in-house models, not on Seedance. Elyum has no team seats.

Pick Krea when

You want Krea Nodes, App Builder, or real-time canvas in the same subscription as Seedance 2.0.
You need an iOS app or Business team seats (up to 50) on one compute pool.
You want 3D, LoRA training, and Topaz upscalers to 22K next to Seedance 2.0.
You already buy Krea compute packs and can live with unpublished per-model unit burn.

Pick Elyum when

You iterate: previews are free, and only KEEP spends credits.
You want listed per-second Seedance 2.0 prices by resolution, already about 20% under comparable studio anchors.
You work from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through Elyum MCP or the REST API.
You want no watermark and commercial use on kept files, including on the Free 150-credit grant.

Getting the most out of Seedance 2.0

Write camera and action as two lines. Name the shot (wide, 50mm close-up, tracking) then the subject's move. Seedance 2.0 holds rooms and faces when the camera plan is simple.
Put dialogue and room tone in the same prompt. Native audio renders with the picture, so write the line, the accent, and the bed (HVAC, street, quiet kitchen) instead of adding a voice later.
For reference-to-video on Elyum, lock identity with stills first (up to nine) and use clips (up to three) only for a beat or camera feel. Conflicting outfits across stills make the face drift.
On image-to-video, describe only what should move. Do not rewrite wardrobe, lens, or lighting that the still already sets.
Fit the clip length. Elyum Seedance 2.0 is 4-15s. One entrance, one beat, one exit. Stacked whip-pans in five seconds smear the realism the model is good at.
For clip edits, name what must stay (face, wardrobe, blocking) and the one change (restyle, extend, rewrite action). A full new plot on top of a locked clip fights the edit.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Seedance 2.0 video cost on Elyum vs Krea?

Krea's pricing page lists about 20 Seedance 2.0 videos per 5,000 Basic units, about 250 units, about $0.45 at the $9 rate. Elyum lists a 5s 480p keep at 30 credits ($0.30), a 5s 720p keep at 80 credits ($0.80), and a 5s 1080p keep at 120 credits ($1.20). Only kept takes bill on Elyum.

Is Seedance 2.0 the same model on both?

Yes. Both platforms run ByteDance Seedance 2.0 weights via the vendor. Platforms differ in price, limits, and policy. Krea lists flagship Seedance 2.0 with native audio, references, and frame animation; it does not publish a separate per-clip unit cost beyond the Basic volume quote. Elyum publishes 4-15s clips at 480p, 720p, and 1080p and charges by the keep. Krea's Seedance 2.5 page lists 30s and 1080p; that cap is documented for 2.5, not restated as a 2.0 limit.

What happens to a bad Seedance 2.0 take?

On Elyum you kill it and the hold refunds in full. Failed generations are never charged. Free allows one kill a month; paid plans kill freely. Krea does not publish a policy for crediting back failed or bad individual generations. Its official refund docs cover subscription cancellation only, and only if usage is below 650 compute units and under 20 generations that month.

Do I need a subscription to use Seedance 2.0 on Elyum?

No. The Free plan includes up to 150 credits once (our algorithm may grant them) and does not require a card. Previews are free. You only need enough credits to KEEP a take. Plus is $9/mo, Pro $29/mo, Ultra $69/mo if you want more balance and free kills. Krea Free is 100 compute units a day with limited video access and no commercial license; Seedance 2.0 volume is quoted on Basic at $9/mo.

Does Krea watermark Seedance 2.0 videos?

Not published. Krea's pricing page does not state a watermark policy for free or paid files. A third-party review claims Pro removes watermarks, but that is not confirmed on krea.ai. Elyum kept takes download clean, with no watermark.

Which plan unlocks Seedance 2.0 on Krea?

Krea's Basic plan ($9/mo, 5,000 units) is the tier that quotes about 20 Seedance 2.0 videos. Basic includes selected video models; Pro ($35/mo) adds all video models, Nodes, and App Builder. Free (100 units/day) has limited video access. Exact unit cost for Seedance 2.0 is not published outside that Basic volume example. Other Seedance 2.0 studio pages include Higgsfield vs Elyum for Seedance 2.0.
