No status page, OpenAPI file or free video quota was found, the newest models need a USD 30 balance, and BytePlus model services are not sold in the United States.\n\n**Vidu API.** Q3 Turbo from $0.035 a second at 540p, about half that off-peak. No llms.txt, OpenAPI file or error-code reference.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk\n\n1. POST to `/api/v3/contents/generations/tasks` on ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com, then poll GET `/contents/generations/tasks/{id}` or pass `callback_url`. Callbacks need an answer within 5 seconds\n2. Download the result at once. Video URLs last 24 hours, task records 7 days, and a Seedance 2.5 URL allows 100 downloads\n3. Pass `resolution`, `ratio` and `duration` in the request body. Parameters appended to the prompt as `--rs` or `--dur` are weakly validated and may be ignored\n4. On Seedance 2.5 set `omni_reference_task_type` to `edit` or `extend` so constraint errors arrive at submission. With `auto` they arrive after the task leaves the queue\n5. Do not send reference images or video with real human faces to Seedance 2.5 or 2.0. Only a queued task can be cancelled with DELETE\n\n### Vidu API\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Token $VIDU_API_KEY`. The scheme is Token, not Bearer\n2. POST the task, then poll the Get Creation endpoint by task id or set `callback_url`\n3. Set `off_peak` only for jobs that can wait up to 48 hours. It roughly halves the credit rate\n4. Set `audio` to true for dialogue and sound on Q3. It's off by default\n5. Keep the AI-generated label on outputs. The terms forbid removing it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk or Vidu API?\n\nSeedance on BytePlus ModelArk scores 59.3 (C) on agent readiness against Vidu API's 40.2 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk and Vidu API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk and Vidu API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk has a hosted endpoint at https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/v3 and Vidu API at https://api.vidu.com/ent/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/seedance-on-byteplus-modelark-vs-vidu.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/seedance-on-byteplus-modelark-vs-vidu.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"seedance-on-byteplus-modelark\", \"b\": \"vidu\"}`.
