Overview

Kling is Kuaishou’s AI video generator for text-to-video and image-to-video. The free plan is non-commercial, and paid plans use monthly credits. Prices here are third-party figures, and first-month discounts reset on renewal.

Who it fits

Kling AI, from Kuaishou, generates short video from text prompts or still images. It suits creators and marketers making short clips and ad concepts who are comfortable paying by credits. It is not an option for commercial work on the free plan, which is non-commercial, so any client or ad use means a paid tier.

What the plans include

These figures come from third-party summaries rather than Kling’s own pricing page, so confirm them at checkout. They list a free Basic plan, then Standard at $6.99 for the first month (about $8.80 after), Pro at $25.99 (about $32.56), Premier at $64.99 (about $80.96) and Ultra at about $180. Monthly credits are listed as 660 on Standard, 3,000 on Pro, 8,000 on Premier and 26,000 on Ultra.

Limits and alternatives

The first-month discounts end on renewal, so budget for the higher price. Check how many credits a clip costs before choosing a tier, because the monthly credit totals say little about how many clips you get. Kling lists web, iOS and Android apps and an API for developers. Luma, Pika and Runway are the closest alternatives; Runway’s pricing page states roughly how many seconds of its top model a plan’s credits buy, which makes cost estimates easier.
