Seedance 2.0
A street drummer in a rain-soaked neon alley plays a fast rhythm on upturned plastic buckets, water splashing up with every hit, slow push-in toward the sticks, neon reflections on wet ground. Audio: crisp bucket drumming in time with the hits, rain, distant city hum.

Dozens of colorful hot air balloons inflate in a misty valley at sunrise; cut to one balloon lifting off as the burner flares; cut to an aerial view drifting above the clouds. Cinematic, soft golden light. Audio: roaring burner bursts, gentle wind, birdsong.

What "Dola AI video generator" means

Dola is ByteDance's international AI assistant app. It was called Cici until early November 2025, when it was renamed Dola (cici.com now redirects to dola.com). Besides chat, writing and images, it has a video feature that the app listing promotes as running on Dreamina Seedance 2.5. The catch for many searchers: as of October 2026 Dola is not listed on the US App Store, and dola.com shows a "not available in this country or region" message outside its supported markets. GenModelHub is independent and not affiliated with ByteDance or Dola. It gives you the same model family, Seedance 2.5, in a plain prompt box that works in the browser.

Is Dola AI available in the US?

Not through official channels at the time of writing: the US App Store page for Dola returns not found, and the website blocks unsupported regions. That is why many people search for a Dola AI APK. We don't recommend side-loading unofficial app files – they are a common way to spread malware. If what you want from Dola is its video model, running Seedance 2.5 on a web page like this one avoids the region problem entirely.

Dola's free video limits vs paying per clip

Dola's free plan covers everyday chat, and advanced features such as video come with a daily allowance that ByteDance does not publish; paid plans (Plus, Pro and Max on the UK App Store) raise those limits. On GenModelHub there is no subscription required: Seedance 2.5 costs 10 credits per second of video, so a 5-second clip is 50 credits, and a one-time pack starts at $4.9. You always see the cost before you press generate.

Which video models you can run here

• Seedance 2.5 – ByteDance's newest video model with generated sound; the default on this page.

• Veo 3.1 – Google's model, strong for people talking on screen.

• MiniMax H3 and Seedance 2 Mini – low-cost models for drafts (10 credits for 5 seconds).

Draft cheaply, then spend Seedance 2.5 credits only on the shot you want to keep.

Prompt tips for Seedance 2.5

Write one scene per prompt: who or what, what they do, where, one camera move, the light and the sound. Keep on-screen text out of the prompt. For a character or product that must look the same across clips, start from a photo instead of text only. If a clip goes wrong, change one part of the prompt at a time rather than rewriting everything.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official Dola AI video generator?

No. GenModelHub is independent and not affiliated with ByteDance, Dola or Dreamina. We run Seedance 2.5 through an API provider and describe Dola only so you can compare.

What model does Dola use for video?

Dola's app listing promotes Dreamina Seedance 2.5 as its video model. ByteDance does not publish a full model card for the app, so other features may use other models.

Is Dola AI free?

Dola has a free plan for everyday use with daily limits on advanced features like video. Here, new users get free credits to start and Seedance 2.5 costs 10 credits per second.

Was Dola AI called Cici before?

Yes. The app launched as Cici in 2023 and was renamed Dola around November 3, 2025. Accounts and features carried over.

Can I use Seedance 2.5 here from the US?

Yes. This page works in any browser, and the video is generated on our side, so there is no app store or region restriction.
