Seedance 2.0 vs Veo 3.1
ByteDance's model for acting and flexible lengths against Google's model for film-like realism and dialogue.
The short answer.
Both make video with sound generated with the picture. Veo 3.1 makes 8-second shots in 720p or 1080p, wide or vertical, and is known for realistic people, light and spoken dialogue. Seedance 2.0 lets you choose any length from 4 to 15 seconds, adds 480p for drafts and a square format, and is strong on acting and expressions.
Per second at 720p, Seedance 2.0 costs 25 credits and Veo 3.1 67. For drafts, Seedance 2.0 Fast and Veo 3.1 Fast or Lite cost less.
Pick Seedance 2.0 if…
- You need a length other than 8 seconds, or a square format.
- Characters act: faces, gestures and expressions carry the scene.
- You want cheap 480p drafts first.
Pick Veo 3.1 if…
- You want film-like realism in people, light and texture.
- Someone speaks a line and it has to sound natural.
- A 8-second shot, wide or vertical, is exactly what you need.
