What is Kling AI

Kling AI is a creative platform from Kuaishou for generating and editing video and images. Its commercial offer combines a free tier, credit-based creator subscriptions, commercial-use rights on paid plans, and model-specific credit charges.

Core offerings

  • Text-to-video, image-to-video, native-audio video, and element-reference workflows.
  • Image generation, upscaling, video extension, and watermark-free paid output.
  • Kling VIDEO 3.0 and VIDEO 3.0 Omni with multi-shot and native-audio capabilities.
  • Credit bundles and paid tiers sized for individual creators and high-volume production.

Pricing

As of July 22, 2026, Kling’s official monthly membership surface lists Basic at US$0 with no fixed monthly credits and non-commercial output. Its current first-subscription offers show Standard at US$6.99 for the first month, then US$8.80 per month (stated list price US$10); Pro at US$25.99, then US$32.56 (list US$37); Premier at US$64.99, then US$80.96 (list US$92); and Ultra at US$127.99, then US$159.99 (list US$180). These are explicitly promotional prices, so buyers should confirm the checkout total and renewal terms.

Standard includes 660 credits per month, Pro 3,000, Premier 8,000, and Ultra 26,000. Paid tiers include fast-track generation, unlimited queued tasks, 1080p/4K generation, image upscaling, watermark removal, video extension, and commercial-use rights. Pro and above add priority access to new features; Ultra also lists beta-test invitations where applicable. The page estimates the credit pools at 33, 150, 400, and 1,300 720p videos respectively.

Kling’s official VIDEO 3.0 guide separately charges per second: native-audio video costs 12 credits/second at 1080p or 9 at 720p; video without native audio costs 8 or 6 credits/second; voice control adds 2 credits/second.

Model footprint

Kling is a product-led creative platform rather than a simple public model API catalogue. The important buying variables are plan credits, output resolution, queue priority, commercial rights, and the per-second cost of the selected video mode.

Why select Kling AI

Kling AI is worth shortlisting for creators who need controllable AI video with native audio, multi-shot generation, and explicit commercial-use rights. The promotional renewal structure means cost comparisons should use the post-introductory price, not only the first-month headline.
