Which plan to pickUse 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.An individual should take Professional: the free redo is worth the extra $10 over Basic. Companies should use the Team plan, where credits never expire and the per-person price drops as you buy more.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.
