How it compares on price

  • Kling 3.0 Pro with sound ($0.168/s) costs less per second than Seedance 2.0 at 720p ($0.243/s) and far less than Veo 3.1 with audio ($0.400/s).
  • Turning sound off cuts Kling 3.0 Pro and Standard by a third. If you add dialogue and sound in post, that saving is real.
  • Seedance 2.0 Mini ($0.121/s) and Veo 3.1 Lite ($0.050/s) are cheaper still for volume work.

We have not produced a film on Kling, so this page makes no quality claims beyond Kling's own description. For how the models differ in practice, see Seedance 2.0 vs Kling 3.0 vs Veo 3.1.

Where Katechon Arc fits

If you are pricing a series and leaning toward Kling for cost, compare it with Arc's Seedance 2.0 Mini and Fast estimates on the same shot list.

Arc does not offer Kling. To use Kling 3.0, go to Kling's app or an API provider that hosts it.
