## What Kling 3.0 does

## What to pick when

- **Turbo** when cost per second matters most: $0.112/s at 720p is the cheapest way into Kling 3.0 in these quotes, and 1080p costs only $0.028 more per second.
- **Standard with sound off** for footage you will score and voice in post: $0.084/s.
- **Pro** for the shots that carry the story. Spend on Pro where a better take saves a retake, not across a whole series by default.
- Keep one tier per project if you can; tier changes can change the look between scenes.

## How Kling compares on price

Kling 3.0 Pro with sound ($0.168/s) lists below Seedance 2.0 Fast ($0.194/s) and Seedance 2.0 ($0.243/s) at 720p, above Seedance 2.0 Mini ($0.121/s), and well below Veo 3.1 with audio ($0.400/s). A 30-episode drama in the shape of our own series would cost about $278 on Turbo at 720p and $417 on Pro with sound.

We have not produced a film on any Kling tier, so we cannot rank their quality from our own work. Render the same few shots on each tier before choosing one for a project.

## Where Katechon Arc fits

If you are pricing a series, compare Kling's tiers with Arc's Seedance 2.0 Mini (9.4 credits per second at 720p) and Fast (22.6) on the same shot list.

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