Kling API pricing: cost per 5- and 10-second clip
Kling 2.0 Standard through Genace costs 35 credits for a 5-second clip and 70 credits for a 10-second clip. Those are the only two lengths.
Two durations, nothing in between
Unlike a per-second model, Kling’s schema accepts exactly two values:
durationSec: z.union([z.literal(5), z.literal(10)]).default(5)
Ask for 7 seconds and the request fails validation locally. Pricing is linear between the two options — 7 credits per second either way — so there is no volume discount for choosing the longer clip.
Resolution is fixed at 1080p. There is no cheaper 720p tier the way there is for Veo 3 and Seedance.
In dollars
| Pack | Per credit | 5s clip | 10s clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic ($6.90 / 500) | $0.0138 | $0.48 | $0.97 |
| Standard ($14.90 / 1,200) | $0.0124 | $0.43 | $0.87 |
| Premium ($34.90 / 3,000) | $0.0116 | $0.41 | $0.81 |
| Enterprise ($79.90 / 8,000) | $0.0100 | $0.35 | $0.70 |
Where it sits between the other two video models
| Model | Credits per second | 5 seconds | Duration control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 5.0 | 25 credits | any integer, 3–15s |
| Kling 2.0 Standard | 7.0 | 35 credits | 5 or 10 only |
| Veo 3 | 12.5 | n/a (8s fixed) | none |
Kling is the middle option on price. It is 40% more per second than Seedance and about half the per-second cost of Veo 3.
The more interesting difference is duration control. If your pipeline produces variable-length clips, Seedance’s 3–15 second range means you pay for what you use. Kling forces you into one of two buckets, which rounds up.
Image-to-video
imageInputs accepts a URL array, and the first entry is used as the starting
frame. Pricing is unchanged — you pay the same 35 or 70 credits whether you
started from text or from an image.
