Hailuo 02 vs Seedance V2.0

Hailuo 02 and Seedance V2.0 differ on 13 specifications — from what each one costs to which inputs it accepts. Every value below is read from the live model catalog, so it stays current as new versions ship.

Which should you use?

Hailuo 02 is the cheapest clip in the catalogue at 3 credits and returns no audio; Seedance V2.0 costs five times that at entry but reaches 15 seconds, returns synced sound, and sits near the top of the public arena boards.

This pairing spans most of the price range on ZOOOP, so it is worth being blunt about what the money buys. Hailuo 02 gives you 6 or 10 seconds at 768p or 1080p, with no audio, from 3 credits. Seedance V2.0 gives you 4 to 15 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p, with optional synced audio, from 15.

Five takes on Hailuo cost the same as one on Seedance. For a background plate, a cutaway, or any shot the audience will see for under two seconds, that ratio favours Hailuo heavily — the fidelity difference is real but largely invisible at that duration and scale.

For anything the viewer actually looks at, the calculus flips. Seedance V2.0 is a current flagship with reference conditioning and sound; Hailuo 02 is positioned as a value model and does not appear near the top of the arena boards. Using the cheap model for the hero shot is the most common way to end up regenerating it anyway.

Pick Hailuo 02 when

  • Cost per attempt is the binding constraint — 3 credits is the lowest entry price of any video model here.
  • 6 or 10 seconds fits the cut and you are scoring the clip separately.
  • You are generating in bulk for a montage where no single shot has to carry weight.

Pick Seedance V2.0 when

  • The clip needs synced audio, which Hailuo 02 does not produce.
  • The shot needs a duration outside 6 or 10 seconds — Seedance takes anything from 4 to 15.
  • You have a reference clip or style to condition on, or the shot is a hero shot worth spending on.
