| Which plan to pick | Use Free for social posts and quick checks. If you need the cleaned photo for print, a listing or a website hero, Pro is cheap enough to pay for a month when you need it. | Use the free credits to test Seedance and Seedream on your own product or idea. If you'll make a few videos a month, Basic is enough. Yearly plans cost much less per month, and watch for intro offers on the first month. | Standard is the sweet spot: three dollars more than Basic gets you more than three times the photos. Move to Professional or Enterprise only if you stage several listings a week. The vendor says yearly billing saves more, so check both options at checkout. |
