Seedance 1.5 Strengths
- Native audio generation option for end-to-end clips without external sound design
- Lip-sync support for dialogue-driven or creator-style talking scenes
- First & last frame control for tighter art direction and smoother transitions between shots
- Cinematic camera work for more “directed” movement and framing

Wan 2.6 Strengths
- Excellent character consistency for recurring characters across multiple clips

Verdict
Choose Seedance 1.5 when you need cinematic control and production-ready outputs—especially if you want native audio, lip-sync, or the ability to lock in first/last frames for precise editing and shot matching. It’s also a clear win when you want flexible pricing that scales by duration and whether audio is included.
Choose Wan 2.6 when your top priority is character consistency and natural motion, or when you specifically need NSFW support. Its flat 150-credit per video pricing can be convenient, but may be less cost-efficient than Seedance 1.5 for shorter clips or no-audio outputs.
