Kling 3.0
Kuaishou
Kling 3.0 costs $0.084 per second of generated video — the 6th cheapest of the 18 video APIs tracked here. A 10-second clip runs about $0.84, and the rate is 1.7× the cheapest option (Veo 3.1 Lite at $0.05/sec), while still coming in 79% under the priciest (Veo 3.1). It outputs up to 1080p with a maximum single clip of 10 seconds, and produces silent video — you supply the audio separately.
The official API sells prepaid resource packs (from ~$9.80); failed tasks are not charged.
