Seedance 2.0
Strengths: Flagship multi-shot video with native audio and references
Compare engines
Compare current Seedance 2.0 with available Wan 2.5 Text & Image to Video. Wan keeps a simple fixed-resolution pricing path for ten-second text/image clips, while Seedance reaches 15 seconds and adds 4K, references, editing, extension, motion controls, and dynamic pricing.
Quick verdict
Stay on available Wan 2.5 Text & Image to Video for simple fixed-price text/image clips; migrate to current Seedance 2.0 for 4K, references, editing, extension, motion control, or 15-second output. Seedance pricing is dynamic rather than a universal bargain.

Stay with Wan for simple clips
Keep Wan 2.5 for text- or image-to-video in 480p, 720p, or 1080p, with audio, three familiar ratios, and fixed resolution pricing.
Upgrade to Seedance for breadth
Seedance 2.0 adds 4K, broad ratios, reference generation, video editing, extension, motion controls, audio, and a 15-second ceiling.
Understand the pricing difference
Wan lists fixed prices by resolution and duration; Seedance computes a dynamic token-based quote from the requested output.
Match the workflow to complexity
Wan suits direct ten-second text/image jobs. Seedance suits longer or iterative productions that need source material and post-generation control.

What it tests: Motion Realism + Temporal Consistency + Visual Quality
Wide 16:9 cinematic action shot, a runner sprints through a rainy city street at night, water splashes realistically with each step, reflections on wet asphalt, handheld tracking camera following from the side. Dynamic motion with believable inertia and physics, no rubbery limbs, no wobbling background, stable scene geometry, minimal temporal flicker, sharp details despite fast movement, realistic motion blur.
Seedance 2.0
Wan 2.5 Text & Image to Video
What it tests: Human Fidelity + Audio/Lip Sync + Prompt Adherence
Vertical 9:16 TikTok-style UGC selfie video, handheld smartphone feel, natural indoor daylight near a window. A friendly creator speaks directly to camera with natural blinking, subtle head nods, and a warm smile. Add small human imperfections: a tiny hesitation, a soft breath, a quick smile mid-sentence, and a micro-pause before the last line. Realistic skin texture, stable identity, no face warping, minimal flicker, clean audio with natural room tone. No subtitles. No on-screen text. No logos. No watermarks. The creator says (exactly, with the same pacing and hesitations): “Okay, so… um… quick thing. If you’re feeling stuck, just do the tiniest first step… like, set a two-minute timer and start. (smiles) That’s it. You’ll be surprised how fast it gets easier.”
Seedance 2.0
Wan 2.5 Text & Image to Video
What it tests: Hands/Fingers + Text & UI Legibility + Prompt Adherence
Wide 16:9 full-body unboxing video in a clean studio/kitchen setting. A person is fully visible (head-to-toe or at least head-to-knees) standing behind a minimalist tabletop. They unbox a small generic gadget from a plain matte cardboard box: peel the seal, open the lid, remove the inner tray, take out the device and accessories, and lay everything neatly on the table. The person occasionally lifts the item toward the camera for a closer look, then places it back down. Realism requirements: natural body proportions, stable identity, realistic skin and clothing fabric, no face warping, no unnatural limb bending. Hands must be highly realistic: correct finger count, natural grip, believable pressure/contact with the box and device, consistent shadows, no extra fingers, no “floating” objects. Keep object geometry stable, no wobbling background, minimal temporal flicker. Camera: single continuous shot, tripod-stable, slight cinematic push-in (very slow), eye-level or slightly above table height. Natural soft daylight, clean shadows, realistic materials and textures. No logos, no brand names, no watermarks. No subtitles. Optional on-screen title at the top (perfectly readable and stable, no jitter): "UNBOXING — FIRST LOOK"
