Priced in dollars.
Like everything else on your budget.

No tokens, no credits, no funny money. A clearance package priced by your production's budget tier, then generation billed per shot — with the exact price on the button before you click. Failed generations are never charged.

1. The clearance package — what gets your production approved

One fee per production. It buys the human work: script review and approval, your production account, and your cast's likeness clearances processed onto the whitelist. Tier matches the budget you declare at submission.

Micro — under $50k

$500

Script review & approval · production account · up to 4 cast likenesses cleared · additional cast $100 each · human review on every download.

Low — $50k to $250k

$1,000

Everything in Micro · up to 10 cast likenesses cleared · additional cast $100 each · priority script review.

Mid — $250k to $2M

$2,000

Everything in Low · up to 20 cast likenesses cleared · additional cast $100 each · priority review queue on generations.

Above $2M

$3,000

Everything in Mid · up to 30 cast likenesses cleared · additional cast $100 each · direct line to our review team.

Need more faces? Additional cast clearances are $100 per performer at any tier. Every clearance requires that performer's signed AI Likeness Release — no form, no face. Effects-only productions with no real likenesses still start at their tier's package fee; the review is the product.

2. Generation — billed per shot, priced before you click

One shot per generation — 4 to 30 seconds on Seedance 2.5, 4 to 15 seconds on Seedance 2.0. The price is computed from engine, resolution and length and shown on the Generate button before you commit. These are the current rates:

Production balance

Prepaid balance, not tokens

After the clearance package is paid, add a prepaid production balance in fixed deposits of $25, $50, $100, $250, or $500. Mid and Above-$2M productions also get $1,000 and $2,000 deposit options. Each take is charged at its quoted price when it renders — a failed render never charges. Downloads unlock after a human clears the master; every price is in dollars, printed on the button before you click.

References

Images free. Video bundled to your shot’s length.

Reference images — faces, wardrobe, location, composition — are included free with every shot. Your shot price also covers reference video up to the length of the shot itself; beyond that, reference video is metered at 30¢/sec, up to 3 video files per shot. Image references are live today; video reference upload is arriving in the Screening Room.

Failed generations are never charged — expected retakes are our cost, not yours. Every delivered shot passes human review before the master unlocks; previews stream watermarked, instantly.

What a real movie spends here

A micro-budget horror feature using AI for its effects moments — call it 40 finished shots at 1080p, averaging 10 seconds, with realistic retakes: roughly $500 in clearance + $300–500 in generation. Under a thousand dollars for the gore gags, the burn, and the crash your practical budget could never touch — with paper behind every frame for your distributor.
