Overview

Dreamina is ByteDance’s creative AI app, from the same group as CapCut. It is where ByteDance offers its Seedance video models and Seedream image models directly. Seedance also shows up inside other tools on this site, such as Runway, Palmier Pro and FLORA, so Dreamina is the first-party way to use it.

Who it fits

Dreamina suits creators who want to try Seedance video or Seedream images and like a free daily credit allowance. People who already edit in CapCut may find the workflow familiar. Developers can reach the models through BytePlus ModelArk.

What the plans include

Free accounts receive daily credits, according to Dreamina’s Seedance page, and paid subscriptions add credits and features. The pricing page shows per-second video costs from $0.04 for Seedance 2.5 and limited-time offers, so confirm current terms before you subscribe.

Limits and alternatives

Promotions and per-model credit costs make budgeting harder, and commercial-use terms are worth reading before client work. CapCut is a template-driven editor with AI features, Kling is another video generator, and Runway combines generation with editing tools.

A good fit if you are…
