Kling is a dedicated video generator whose own models are also resold by Runway, Luma, Pika and Higgsfield. Going to the source gives you the newest features first. Kling 4.0 supports native 30-second generation, Omni reference and multiple keyframes, and Kling 3.0 adds synchronized audio with intelligent storyboarding. Paid plans include 1080p and 4K generation, unlimited task queues, faster generation, watermark removal and commercial use. Standard costs $8.80 a month after a first month at $6.99 and includes 660 credits, priced at about $1.06 per 100 credits. Pro at $32.56 a month after its first month raises that to 3,000 credits. Developers can buy API packages starting at $500 for 3,250 units, with Kling 4.0 billed at 1.0 unit per second at 720p and 1.5 units at 1080p. The weak points are the lack of a listed free plan and a plans page built around first-month discounts, so compare the regular monthly price.
