Dreamina pricing: plans, free credits and what each Seedance clip costs

Dreamina prices everything in credits and shows each country its own currency, so the plan card alone won't tell you what a clip costs. This page turns Dreamina's own rates into clips and dollars. Every figure comes from Dreamina's pages, read on 5 November 2026.

How much does Dreamina cost?

Dreamina costs $15 a month on the Basic plan in the US, for 1,575 credits, and new US users pay $0.29 for the first month. Dreamina's Seedance price page, updated 27 October 2026, lists that offer as starting on 21 October 2026.

Dreamina's October offer FAQ gives the US annual prices.

The $0.29 offer is for card or PayPal payments. Users who bought the earlier 90%-off offer are not eligible.

What does a Seedance clip cost on Dreamina?

A 5-second 720p Seedance clip costs 25 credits on Seedance 2.0 Mini and 185 credits on Seedance 2.5. Dreamina charges per generated second: 37 credits for 2.5, 17 for 2.0 Pro, 8 for 2.0 Fast and 5 for 2.0 Mini.

The dollar columns use the Basic renewal: $15 for 1,575 credits, about $0.0095 per credit.

Seedance 2.5 costs the same with or without a reference. Dreamina publishes these rates for 720p only and says not to apply them to 4K. For the same models on BytePlus, Runway and Higgsfield, see Seedance pricing on every platform.

How many clips does each Dreamina plan make?

Basic makes sixty-three 5-second Mini clips a month, or eight 5-second Seedance 2.5 clips. The table divides each allowance by the clip cost above and rounds down.

Free credits cannot cover one 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip, since 120 credits buy 3 seconds of 2.5. If your free account shows 2.5 at all, use Mini or Fast for free drafts and save 2.5 for a paid plan.

Every retry costs the full clip price. At a keep rate of one in three, Basic yields about two usable 5-second 2.5 clips a month. Budget your own mix with the AI video cost calculator.

Is Dreamina AI free?

Dreamina is free to start: US free accounts get 120 credits each day, and the reset is daily. Dreamina says allowances outside the US vary.

Free downloads carry a watermark. Dreamina's own test of two Free-account clips describes both as about five seconds long, 1280x720 and visibly watermarked. Watermark-free downloads are listed as a paid benefit. Dreamina also says download permission and commercial-use permission are separate, so read the terms for the model you use before you put a free clip in an ad.

Use free credits to test prompts and pick a model. Pay when the clip goes on a client account or a monetised channel. Seedance 2 free covers the other free routes to the same model.

What do you get on a paid Dreamina plan?

Every paid plan adds watermark-free downloads, video upscaling and a fast queue. Dreamina's pricing page lists the same three perks on every tier, and gives Advanced and Ultra the highest queue priority plus 4K image features.

The plans differ mainly by credits. So pick by monthly volume:

1. A few clips a month: stay on the free 120 daily credits with Mini or Fast.
2. Up to about 60 short drafts: Basic at $15 covers sixty-three 5-second Mini clips.
3. Regular Seedance 2.5 work: Standard's 3,885 credits make twenty-one 5-second 2.5 clips.
4. Client volume: Advanced or Ultra, billed yearly, for the deepest credit pool and top queue priority.

Why do Dreamina prices differ by country?

Dreamina sets the price and the credit allowance per region. The same plan name carries a different number of credits depending on where you sign in.

On 5 November 2026, Dreamina's pricing page also served a Vietnamese-dong version. Its Basic plan there was 390,000 VND a month for 4,161 credits, against 1,575 credits on the US Basic plan. Standard showed 10,202 credits against 3,885 in the US. Dreamina's US help pages also say the free daily allowance varies outside the US.

So compare plans by the cost per credit and the credit cost of your model in your own account. CapCut's Dreamina price page says the quote shown for your settings is the price that applies.

Is Dreamina worth paying for?

Pay for Dreamina if Seedance is your main model: Basic makes a 5-second 720p Seedance 2.0 Pro clip for about $0.81, and Mini for $0.24. Stay free if you only test a prompt now and then.
