}'Kunavo vs calling ByteDance directly
Same Seedance 2 weights, same responses. What a gateway changes is the account, the SDK and the bill — here is the honest side-by-side.
| Kunavo | ByteDance direct | |
|---|---|---|
| Price (per second of video) | $0.246+ (−18%) | $0.30 |
| Account | One Kunavo account, key in 2 minutes, $5 minimum top-up | A ByteDance account plus its own billing setup |
| SDK | Keep the OpenAI SDK — change base_url, set model to "seedance-2" | ByteDance's SDK, or their OpenAI-compatible layer where offered |
| Same key also reaches | Claude, Gemini, GPT, image, video and audio models | ByteDance's own catalog only |
| Billing | One Stripe balance, pay-as-you-go, never expires; failed requests unbilled | A separate invoice per provider |
| Rate limits | Shared gateway capacity, no contractual per-account limit | ByteDance's own tier limits, raised by usage history or contract |
Go direct to ByteDance when you need a contractual rate limit, an enterprise SLA, or a provider-only feature on day one. Use Kunavo when you want one key, one bill and a lower per-token rate across every provider.

What is different from calling ByteDance directly?
The model is the same, at about 18% under ByteDance's list price. What changes is around it: one key and one Stripe balance instead of a ByteDance account with its own billing, the OpenAI SDK with base_url swapped instead of a provider-specific SDK, and the same key also reaching Claude, Gemini, GPT, image, video and audio models. The tradeoff is that gateway capacity is shared — if you need a contractual rate limit or an enterprise SLA on Seedance 2 specifically, go direct to ByteDance.
