Update Oct 17, 2026: Kling’s official per-second credit rates are now verified — see Runway vs Kling cost per video for full 5s/30s/60s tables.
Also see our Kling credits explained guide covers plan credits, expiry and how to estimate cost from the in-product credit charge.
Credits explained
Membership credits are distributed monthly. Official Kling point policy: membership subscription credits are valid for 1 month from distribution; purchased credits are valid for 2 years. Standard purchase pricing listed as $1 = 66 credits in the point policy.

Cost per finished video (before retries)
| Length | Cheapest calculable cost | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| 5s finished video (1 attempt, no retries) | $0.30 | Kling 3.0 720p no audio, 6 cr/s × 5s = 30 credits × $0.0100 (Standard annual). 1080p + audio: $0.60 |
| 30s finished video (1 attempt, no retries) | $1.80 | 180 credits at 720p no audio; 1080p + audio 360 credits = $3.60 |
| 60s finished video (1 attempt, no retries) | $3.60 | 360 credits at 720p no audio; 1080p + audio 720 credits = $7.20 (more than Standard’s 660 credits/mo) |
Retries multiply this: with 2 retries (3 attempts total) a 30s video costs roughly 3× the table price. Use the calculator with your real retry count.

Plan traps to know
- No subscription? Kling’s own developer API bills per second instead (verified Oct 25, 2026): Kling 2.6 / 2.5 Turbo $0.042 at 720p without audio, Kling 3.0 $0.084–$0.168 — about 1.4× the app’s Standard-plan rate. See Kling API pricing & traps and Kling API pricing.
- Membership credits expire 1 month after distribution — use them or lose them.
- Purchased credits last 2 years (different from membership credits).
- Per-second rates verified Oct 17, 2026 (3.0: 6–12 credits/sec by resolution and audio). Kling still shows the exact charge before you generate — confirm in-product.
- Kling 3.0 generations are 3–15s; 2.6 is 5s or 10s — longer videos are stitched.
