Where each falls short

Seedance

  • ByteDance publishes no list of limitations for the model, so we do not put words in their mouth. What we can say is measured here: a clip of "four seconds" comes back at 4.06 seconds, and 1080p costs more than twice what 720p does.
  • It is priced per thousand tokens on height, width and duration, so resolution drives the bill harder than length does. The Studio works that out and shows the amount before you run.

MiniMax H3

  • MiniMax publishes no list of limitations, so none is invented here.
  • Because the aspect ratio follows your input image, the shape is decided before you generate. Crop the still first if the frame matters.
  • The jump from 768p to 2K roughly doubles the rate. The Studio shows the amount for each before you run.
