Direct API

Kling API PlatformUsage-based from $9

Kling 4.0 runs only on Flagship packs, $9 or $90 trials valid 30 days or 180-day packs from $500 to $8,000, at $0.157/s at 720p and $0.235/s at 1080p, with no 4K yet. Other models use General packs, a $9.80 trial or 180-day packs from $700 for 5,000 units ($0.14/unit).

Savings and costs per 100 credits are ToolColumn arithmetic from the prices and allowances above.

Ways to pay less

Yearly billing saves 34%: Standard $79.20, Pro $293.04, Premier $728.64 and Ultra+ $4,902.99 a year. Monthly plans start with a one-time first-month discount.

How each route bills

  • Kling Creative Studio subscription · App subscription · Primary · From $6.60/mo

    Kling memberships run from Standard to Ultra+ with 660 to 57,000 monthly credits. Yearly billing saves 34% (from $79.20/year, up to $4,902.99/year); monthly plans cost $8.80 to $544.99 after a one-time first-month discount.

    Kling Creative Studio membership · Recommended · Bundled app · Included in subscription

    The default creator route for using Kling through the web or mobile studio, with generation costs deducted from membership credits.

    Best for: Solo creators and small teams validating recurring short-scene production

    Boundary: Use this route for human-led prompting and review; verify the checkout for current prices, credit allowances, and renewal terms.

    Kling VIDEO 3.0 credit usage · Bundled app · Shared subscription quota

    Generation consumption is calculated by seconds, mode, resolution, audio, voice control, video input, and motion-control choices.

    Best for: Creators who need to plan accepted-output cost before generating

    Boundary: Keep this as usage math inside the app route, not a separate subscription plan.

  • Kling API Platform · Direct API · Usage-based from $9

    Kling 4.0 runs only on Flagship packs, $9 or $90 trials valid 30 days or 180-day packs from $500 to $8,000, at $0.157/s at 720p and $0.235/s at 1080p, with no 4K yet. Other models use General packs, a $9.80 trial or 180-day packs from $700 for 5,000 units ($0.14/unit).

    Kling API Platform · Direct API · Separate API meter

    Kling 4.0 runs only on Flagship packs, $9 or $90 trials or 180-day packs from $500 to $8,000, at $0.157 a second at 720p and $0.235 at 1080p, with no 4K yet; other models use General packs, a $9.80 trial or 180-day packs from $700 for 5,000 units ($0.14/unit).

    Best for: Developers and automation teams building video generation into a product or workflow

    Boundary: Membership credits do not fund API usage, General packs do not work with Kling 4.0, and units expire with no rollover, after 30 days on trial packs and 180 days on the rest.

  • Kling Team Space · Team workspace · From $73/seat/mo

    Kling's Team Plan runs shared Team Workspaces on the Kling website only, at $98 per seat a month or $73 per seat a month billed yearly ($876 per seat a year), with 10,000 credits per seat a month for the team. Team and personal workspaces keep separate credits and benefits.

    Team Space or enterprise access · Team workspace · Enterprise only

    Shared workspaces and high-volume organization use need account, asset, credit, permission, and support checks beyond a personal plan.

    Best for: Organizations with multiple creators, shared assets, admin needs, or high-volume production

    Boundary: Verify Team membership or enterprise terms before relying on personal subscriptions for company work.

  • Kling enterprise or high-volume access · Enterprise sales · Custom

    Sales or support-led path for higher-volume, organization, API, or governance needs that exceed self-serve creator membership assumptions.

API boundary: The Kling API is a separate budget of prepaid unit packs, from a $9 Kling 4.0 trial; membership credits do not fund API usage, and General packs do not work with Kling 4.0.

Notes

Pricing notes

Start on Standard; Ultra+ is cheapest per credit; the API is billed separately

Kling AI, Kuaishou's video generation platform, sells creator memberships in four paid tiers (Standard, Pro, Premier and Ultra+) plus a free Basic plan, and a separate developer API priced in prepaid units. Kling 4.0, released in October 2026, now leads the model family alongside Kling 3.0 and 3.0 Omni, which generate synchronized audio and video, follow multi-shot storyboards and support native 4K output.

Start with Standard to test Kling on real projects with watermark-free, commercially usable output. Choose Pro when Kling becomes a weekly tool; each credit costs less than on Standard. Premier and Ultra+ are for heavy users, and Ultra+ is the cheapest per credit, though only slightly below Premier. Developers should use the Kling API, which is billed separately.

Kling shows a one-time discount on the first month of monthly billing, so the recurring monthly price is higher than the first charge: the first month costs $6.99 on Standard, $25.99 on Pro, $64.99 on Premier and $432.99 on Ultra+, which then renews at $544.99 a month. Ultra+ billed yearly shows no lower first year: it costs $4,902.99 a year from the start. Figures in older guides, such as 66 daily free credits, Standard Mode and Professional Mode rates, or Kling 1.5 and 2.0 pricing, do not describe the current plans.

Premier's larger tiers are the step before Ultra+

If you need more than Premier's 8,000 credits but far fewer than Ultra+'s 57,000, Premier also comes with 18,000 credits for $181.99 a month, 28,000 for $283.99 and 38,000 for $376.99. Each works out to about $1.00 per 100 credits billed monthly, the same as the 8,000-credit tier, against about $0.96 on Ultra+ (ToolColumn arithmetic), so a larger Premier tier costs little more per credit without the jump to $544.99.

Native audio, resolution and Omni input set how far credits go

How many clips those credits produce depends on the model, resolution, duration, native audio and features such as Motion Control or Omni video input. Test your usual settings on Standard before choosing a larger tier; Kling AI credits explained converts each plan into 5-second VIDEO 3.0 clips and lists when each kind of credit expires. Multi-model apps also sell Kling 3.0 in their own credits; Higgsfield charges 10 credits for a 5-second 720p clip with its default sound on, or 7.5 with sound off.

Kling 4.0 runs only on Flagship API packs

The Kling API is sold as prepaid packs of units, separate from memberships, and Kling 4.0 has packs of its own. Flagship packs work only with Kling 4.0 and 4.0 Flash, and the General packs that run Kling 3.0 and the other models do not work with Kling 4.0:

Kling 3.0 and other models

Read the Models column first: a General pack bought for Kling 3.0 cannot pay for Kling 4.0. The trial prices are first-purchase discounts (10% off on Flagship, 30% on General), limited to five purchases.

Kling 4.0 is billed on total seconds: $0.157 a second at 720p and $0.235 at 1080p without an input video. With an input video it costs $0.094 and $0.141 a second, on a billed duration of twice the output, or input plus output when the input is longer. The API offers no Kling 4.0 4K yet; Kling lists 10-bit 4K as coming soon. A 10-second 1080p Kling 4.0 clip costs about $2.35 (ToolColumn arithmetic: 10 × $0.235).

On the General packs one unit lists at $0.14. Kling 3.0 costs 0.8 units ($0.112) per second at 1080p without audio, 1.2 units ($0.168) per second at 1080p with native audio, and 3 units ($0.42) per second at 4K. Kling 3.0 Turbo with native audio costs 1.0 unit ($0.14) per second at 1080p, and Motion Control costs 1.2 units ($0.168) per second at 1080p. A 10-second 1080p Kling 3.0 clip with native audio therefore costs about $1.68.

Units expire with no rollover or extension, after 30 days on trial packs and 180 days on the rest. The 180-day packs run 20 concurrent tasks and the trials 5, and larger or custom volumes go through a business inquiry. A $9 Flagship trial is enough to test Kling 4.0 through the API before committing $500 to a 180-day pack.

Watchouts

What buyers often miss

  1. Retries define real cost

    Budget for failed prompts, alternate takes, upscales, and audio changes rather than only the final accepted clip.

  2. Checkout is the source of truth

    Kling's first-month offers and per-100-credit prices can change; confirm the recurring price and credits on the membership page before purchase.

  3. Mode choice changes burn rate

    Native audio, voice control, Omni video input, and motion control have different credit rates, so a single headline price does not describe the workflow.

  4. API and team routes are separate

    Do not assume app membership covers developer API usage, Team Space rules, enterprise support, or organization-level governance.

About Kling AI

Kling AI is Kuaishou's AI creative studio for generating and editing video, image, and audio-driven scenes from prompts and references. Its current anchor is Kling 4.0, released in October 2026, which generates 3 to 30 seconds of video with stereo audio, multiple keyframes and reference images, up to 4K in the app on paid plans (the Kling 4.0 API offers 720p and 1080p, with 4K announced), while VIDEO 3.0 and 3.0 Omni remain available for multi-shot storyboarding, element consistency, motion control and voice-bound character references. It is best for creators, agencies, educators, and product marketers who need short cinematic scenes with reusable characters, controlled camera movement, and audio that can be generated inside the same workflow.

Read the full profile

The core caveat is budgeting. Standard, Pro, Premier and Ultra+ memberships include 660 to 57,000 monthly credits; monthly billing starts with a one-time first-month discount, and yearly billing saves 34%. Credit use rises with resolution, duration, native audio and Omni video input. The API is a separate budget of prepaid unit packs: Kling 4.0 runs only on Flagship packs, from a $9 trial, and older models on General packs, and team or enterprise paths suit shared credits, governance, or higher-volume production.

Best for
  • Creators building cinematic scenes with up to 30-second generations, native stereo audio, and keyframe-level shot control
  • Marketing teams that need consistent characters, products, voices, and multilingual dialogue across repeated AI video drafts
  • Studios that budget generation by credits per second and need to choose between silent, native-audio, Omni, and motion-control modes
