Pricing paths
Hosted app
Creator plans and credits are sold at kling.ai. Budget from the official app before treating API rates as account credits.
Video API
Kling bills API video generation per output second. Resolution and model tier determine the rate; Omni has variable rates by input workflow.
Units
The family list price uses 1 Unit = $0.14. Rates below show the resulting dollar amount so you do not have to convert Units separately.
Kling API pricing by tier
The checked Kling list price centers on the 3.0 generation. Older identities may still appear in product workflows, so match the exact model name in your account before budgeting.
