For a model billed C credits per output second, **USD per second = C × $0.01**. A clip with a minimum charge costs **max(seconds × C, minimum credits) × $0.01**. The [official Runway Dev pricing page](https://docs.dev.runwayml.com/guides/pricing/) lists the rates. Seedance 2.5 also charges 10/15/34 credits per second of input/reference video at 480p/720p/1080p; the base table assumes none. For ByteDance's own token-billed route, see the [BytePlus ModelArk Seedance 2.5 cost calculator](/tools/seedance-2-5-api-cost-calculator/). Pika Create Creator subscription estimate: **$35/month ÷ 3,150 credits/month × 122 credits per 5-second 720p clip ÷ 5 seconds = $0.2711 per output second**, assuming every included credit is spent on those clips. The actual bill starts at $35/month and unused plan credits do not roll over. This is a Pika Create route for Seedance, not a Pika API price.
