Seedance 2.5 Turbo costs ~$5 per 20s face swap — an AI influencer builder hunts for cheaper workflows
Connect2Gio · reddit · 2026-10-10
A creator building an AI influencer for TikTok Shop shares the economics: Seedance 2.5 Turbo costs about $5 for a 20-second character-swap video, which adds up fast for daily content once failed generations are factored in.
The goal is replacing a person's face and hair while preserving original movements, expressions, and product interactions. They're considering ComfyUI on rented GPUs (RunPod/Vast.ai), potentially automated via Claude Code, and asking the community: is ComfyUI significantly cheaper per usable video? Which models/workflows handle realistic face + hair replacement, and how well do they preserve expressions and lip movement? What's the typical generation time and cost for a 10-20s clip?
