WAN 2.7 Image-to-Video and Seedance 2 Mini, side by side
The test
We sent the same matte black earbuds product still and the same instruction, a slow cinematic orbit that opens the case lid, to both models on August 26, 2026, each at its own cheapest resolution and duration.
WAN 2.7 Image-to-Video, measured
The run billed 2.5 credits and returned in about 30 seconds, inside the API's synchronous window. The schema runs 2 to 15 second clips at 2.5 credits per second on 720p or 3 on 1080p, across five aspect ratios.
Seedance 2 Mini, measured
We ran it at 480p for the minimum 5 second duration, which billed exactly 5 credits, 1 credit per second. It took about 115 seconds. The mini tier also offers 720p at 2 credits per second and 10 or 15 second durations, across seven aspect ratios including 21:9 and an adaptive setting.
Audio behavior differs
WAN 2.7 syncs audio automatically once you are in image-to-video mode, no separate field to set. Seedance 2 Mini also tries to add audio by default: our first attempt at this exact clip failed with an audio-related content filter, and the identical request succeeded on the next try with no other change.
What WAN 2.7 adds
A video-extend mode that continues a clip you already have, plus a last_frame_url input for locking the final frame alongside the starting image.
What Seedance 2 Mini adds
A sibling High tier on the same family for a quality step up at higher resolutions without switching models, and the widest aspect ratio list of the two, seven options against WAN's five.
Same product photo, same orbit instruction, same day: WAN 2.7 Image-to-Video billed 2.5 credits in about 30 seconds. Seedance 2 Mini billed 5 credits in about 115 seconds.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for WAN 2.7 Image-to-Video vs Seedance 2 Mini
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
One API key for both
Both sit behind the same PixelDojo key, so trying the other one is a one-line change to the endpoint in your request.
Same source photo, same prompt
We used the identical earbuds product still and the identical orbit instruction for both runs, so the price and speed difference traces back to the model, not the input.
Refundable on failure
Both models are marked refundable in the catalog. Our one failed Seedance attempt did not need a manual refund request before the retry.
How It Works
How we ran the matchup, so you can repeat it:
Start from the same still
We used the same earbuds product photo as the source image for both models so the only variable was the model itself.
Send the identical prompt at each model's cheapest setting
The same orbit-and-open instruction went to WAN 2.7 Image-to-Video at its default 720p and to Seedance 2 Mini at its cheapest 480p, minimum-duration setting.
Time and price both, and note any failures
We bracketed each request with a timestamp and recorded the exact credit charge. Seedance 2 Mini failed once on an audio content filter before an identical retry succeeded, which we kept in the numbers below.
The Pixel Dojo Advantage
The same earbuds still and the same orbit instruction, run through both models at each one's cheapest allowed settings on the same day.
