What 15 seconds means per tier

The docs give Seedance 2.5 4 to 30 seconds and every other Seedance id 15 seconds. A 15 s request is therefore valid on all four, which makes it the cleanest length for a like-for-like price check.

If the clip needs 16 to 30 seconds, only seedance-2.5 can do it in one job; the others need two jobs and an assembly step such as Timeline 1.0.

Same prompt, four tiers

Loop over the ids to produce your own comparison; the request only changes the model string.

Per second at 15 seconds

Divide each 720p figure by 15 and the tiers read $0.189 (Mini), $0.3024 (Fast), $0.378 (Seedance 2) and $0.5778 (Seedance 2.5) per second. Seedance 2.5 at 720p is 3.06x the Mini price for the same 15 seconds.

These are Sume prices, provider list times 1.25, reserved at submit. A balance short of the figure in the table returns 402 insufficient_credits instead of starting the job.
