Quick answer
Inside Runway, Kling 2.5 Turbo costs 10 credits per second and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro 12 at 720p and 15 at 1080p. On Runway Standard annual credits that is $5.76 per 30-second try and $17.28 for a usable 30-second clip (3 attempts), and $20.74 / $25.92 for Turbo Pro at 720p / 1080p. “Budget” is relative: inside Runway it is no cheaper than Kling 3.0 — Kling 3.0 Std without audio is 9 credits/sec ($15.55) and Kling 3.0 Pro without audio 12, the same as Turbo Pro 720p. On Kling’s own API it really is cheap: $0.042 / $0.07 per second at 720p / 1080p, $3.78 / $6.30 per usable 30s, half Kling 3.0’s silent API price and about 4–5.5× less than Runway Standard. Runway API: kling2.5_turbo_pro 12 credits/sec, $10.80 usable. No native audio on Kling’s API; Runway doesn’t say.
New Oct 25, 2026: Kling 2.5 Turbo (10/sec) and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro (720p 12, 1080p 15) inside Runway are now in the calculator and the Runway ranking, verified on the Runway Academy credits page. Turbo is listed for image-to-video only and Turbo Pro for start/end frame only; resolution is not stated for Turbo. The Runway API pricing list has kling2.5_turbo_pro at 12 credits/sec (no resolution stated) and no plain Turbo. runway.com/pricing does not name Kling 2.5 on a plan card — check in the app.
Basis: Runway rates from assets/data.js, the same data as our calculator, valued at Standard annual credits ($12/mo for 625 = $0.0192 per credit), Pro annual ($28 for 2,250 = $0.0124), Max annual ($76 for 9,500 = $0.0080) or Runway API credits ($0.01), assuming you use all your credits. Kling app rates at Kling Standard annual credits ($6.60/mo for 660 = $0.0100 per credit). Kling API prices are list prices per second of output from the Kling API video pricing page (1 unit = $0.14); ranked since Oct 25, 2026 3pm — see Kling API pricing. “Usable” = 3 attempts (1 + 2 retries). Cost only — no quality ranking.

Rank = position among the 210 verified text/image-to-video rates in the pricing comparison (usable 30s, ties share a rank). Runway rows are ranked at Standard annual credits; Pro and Max rows are shown for comparison and not ranked separately. The Runway API row is ranked on AI video API pricing. Kling’s own API rows are list prices, ranked since Oct 25, 2026 3pm (Kling API pricing). “Not stated” = Runway does not give a resolution for that rate.
Cost per clip: 5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, 60s with retries
Each pair is one try and usable (3 attempts). Kling’s model reference (kling.ai/llms.txt) lists Kling 2.5 Turbo clips at up to 10 seconds and 1080p, so 15, 30 and 60 seconds are several clips stitched together; the per-second price is the same.

Maths: $ per second × seconds; usable = × 3. Runway rows above a plan’s monthly credits are an effective cost at the plan credit rate, not cash the plan alone covers (see the next table).
How much Kling 2.5 Turbo a Runway plan covers
| Plan | Model (credits/sec) | Footage per month | 30s tries | Usable 30s clips (3 attempts) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (625 credits/mo) | Kling 2.5 Turbo (10/sec) | 62s | 2 | 0 |
| Standard (625 credits/mo) | Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro 720p (12/sec) | 52s | 1 | 0 |
| Standard (625 credits/mo) | Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro 1080p (15/sec) | 41s | 1 | 0 |
| Pro (2,250 credits/mo) | Kling 2.5 Turbo (10/sec) | 225s | 7 | 2 |
| Pro (2,250 credits/mo) | Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro 720p (12/sec) | 187s | 6 | 2 |
| Pro (2,250 credits/mo) | Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro 1080p (15/sec) | 150s | 5 | 1 |
| Max (9,500 credits/mo) | Kling 2.5 Turbo (10/sec) | 950s | 31 | 10 |
| Max (9,500 credits/mo) | Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro 720p (12/sec) | 791s | 26 | 8 |
| Max (9,500 credits/mo) | Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro 1080p (15/sec) | 633s | 21 | 7 |
Standard’s 625 credits buy about 62 seconds of Kling 2.5 Turbo — two 30-second tries (300 credits each) but not a usable clip with 2 retries (900 credits) — or 52 seconds of Turbo Pro at 720p. Pro covers two usable 30-second clips a month of Turbo or Turbo Pro 720p; Max covers ten of Turbo, eight of Turbo Pro 720p and seven at 1080p. Standard and Pro credits reset each billing date; Max rolls up to one month over. Extra credits are $10 per 1,000, the same $0.01 as the API.

Inside Runway, Kling 2.5 Turbo sits between Kling 3.0 Std without audio (9 credits/sec) and Kling 3.0 Pro without audio (12), and Turbo Pro at 720p costs the same per second as Kling 3.0 Pro without audio and Runway’s own Gen-4.5 (12). It beats Kling 3.0 with audio (13 / 17) and Kling 3.0 Turbo (14 / 16) on price, but Kling 2.5 Turbo has no native audio on Kling’s API. Kling’s own app is far cheaper for the Kling models it publishes rates for — Kling 2.6 Standard mode is $2.70 per usable 30s and Kling 3.0 720p without audio $5.40 — but Kling’s Kling VIDEO 3.0 guide and VIDEO 2.6 guide do not publish an app credit rate for 2.5 Turbo, so check official pricing before you compare it in the Kling app. See Kling 3.0 cost per video, Kling credits explained, Runway vs Kling cost and Kling O3 cost.
How to pay less for Kling 2.5 Turbo
- On Runway, try Kling 3.0 Std without audio first: 9 credits/sec ($15.55 per usable 30s) is cheaper than Kling 2.5 Turbo (10, $17.28) and a newer model.
- Need the cheapest Runway draft? Gen-4 Turbo, Wan 3.0 480p and Wan 2.6 Flash 720p are 5 credits/sec ($8.64 usable 30s) — half of Kling 2.5 Turbo. See Runway models ranked by cost.
- Going by API? Kling’s own API lists Kling 2.5 Turbo at $3.78 per usable 30s at 720p, against $10.80 for
kling2.5_turbo_proon the Runway API. - Draft at 720p: Turbo Pro at 1080p costs 25% more per second than at 720p on Runway (15 vs 12), and Kling’s API charges 67% more at 1080p ($0.07 vs $0.042).
- Already on Runway? API credits ($0.01) or a fully used Max plan ($0.0080) cut Turbo Pro 720p from $20.74 to $10.80 or $8.64 per usable 30s.
- Add sound in the edit: Kling 2.5 Turbo has no native audio on Kling’s API, so budget for music or voice separately.

FAQ
How much does Kling 2.5 Turbo cost per second?
Inside Runway, Kling 2.5 Turbo costs 10 credits per second and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro 12 credits per second at 720p and 15 at 1080p (Runway Academy credits page, checked Oct 25, 2026). On Runway Standard annual credits ($0.0192 each) that is $0.192, $0.2304 and $0.288 per second; on Max annual credits $0.080, $0.096 and $0.120. The Runway API lists kling2.5_turbo_pro at 12 credits, $0.12 per second, without stating a resolution. Kling's own API lists Kling 2.5 Turbo at $0.042 per second at 720p and $0.07 at 1080p, without native audio.
How much does a 30-second Kling 2.5 Turbo video cost?
On Runway Standard annual credits one 30-second try is $5.76 for Kling 2.5 Turbo, $6.91 for Turbo Pro at 720p and $8.64 at 1080p. With 2 retries (3 attempts) a usable 30-second clip is $17.28, $20.74 and $25.92. On the Runway API a usable 30 seconds of Turbo Pro is $10.80, and on Kling's own API Kling 2.5 Turbo is $3.78 at 720p or $6.30 at 1080p. Kling lists 2.5 Turbo clips at up to 10 seconds, so 30 seconds is at least three clips stitched together.
Is Kling 2.5 Turbo cheaper than Kling 3.0?
Not inside Runway. Kling 2.5 Turbo is 10 credits per second, more than Kling 3.0 Std without audio at 9, and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro at 720p is 12, the same as Kling 3.0 Pro without audio ($17.28 and $20.74 against $15.55 and $20.74 per usable 30 seconds on Standard annual credits). It is cheaper than Kling 3.0 with audio (13 and 17) and Kling 3.0 Turbo (14 and 16). On Kling's own API it is cheaper: Kling 2.5 Turbo is $0.042 and $0.07 per second against $0.084 and $0.112 for Kling 3.0 without audio, half the price.
Is Kling 2.5 Turbo cheaper inside Runway or on Kling's own API?
Kling's own API, by a wide margin. A usable 30-second clip costs $3.78 at 720p and $6.30 at 1080p at Kling's API list prices, against $17.28 for Kling 2.5 Turbo and $20.74 / $25.92 for Turbo Pro at 720p / 1080p on Runway Standard annual credits, about 4.1 to 5.5 times as much. Even fully used Runway Max credits ($7.20, $8.64, $10.80) and the Runway API ($10.80) cost more. Kling's API prices are per second of output and do not include how units are bought; check Kling's official pricing. Kling's app credit rate for 2.5 Turbo is not on the official guides we verify.
What is the difference between Kling 2.5 Turbo and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro on Runway?
Price and input mode. Runway's Academy credits page lists Kling 2.5 Turbo for image-to-video at 10 credits per second with no resolution stated, and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro for start/end frame generation at 12 credits per second at 720p and 15 at 1080p (checked Oct 25, 2026). Only Turbo Pro is on the Runway API price list, as kling2.5_turbo_pro at 12 credits per second. Runway calls both previous-gen, budget-friendly video generation; Kling's newer 3.0 models are listed next to them.
Can I use Kling 2.5 Turbo on the Runway Standard plan, and does it include audio?
Runway's pricing page names Kling 3.0 on its plan cards but not Kling 2.5 (checked Oct 25, 2026), so check in the app before you upgrade. Runway does not say whether Kling 2.5 Turbo output has audio; Kling's own API lists Kling 2.5 Turbo as no native audio, so plan to add sound in the edit. Standard's 625 credits a month cover about 62 seconds of Kling 2.5 Turbo or 52 seconds of Turbo Pro at 720p: two or one 30-second tries, not a usable 30-second clip with retries (900 or 1,080 credits).
