Kling AI Developer Platform
Paid API for Kling text-to-video, image-to-video and image generation models
Tier B · UsefulAI ToolServiceklingai.com

The developer-facing side of Kling AI (Kuaishou), where the video and image generation models are sold as an HTTP API instead of a consumer web app. This specific URL is the API pricing page: prepaid resource packages, per-generation costs by model tier, and concurrency limits per package. It is for engineers wiring generated video or stills into a product, not for designers browsing a UI kit. Access needs an account and an API key.
For an agent
Reach for this only when the deliverable is generated video or stills, never for UI: it ships no components, tokens or CSS. Budget before you call it — pricing is per generation and a 1080p 10-second Master clip is orders of magnitude more expensive than a v1 draft, so prototype on the cheapest model tier and only promote to Master for final renders. Do not try to scrape klingai.com for prices at build time; the domain hard-blocks non-browser clients (HTTP 446), so pin the numbers in config and have a human refresh them.
Why it is here. Kling is one of the few frontier video models with a real public API rather than a waitlist, so it is the practical default when a product needs generated motion rather than stock footage.

- Pricing detail
- Not readable first-hand — every klingai.com and kling.ai path returned HTTP 446 to an automated fetch. Secondary sources (July 2026) report prepaid resource packages starting at a $9.80 trial pack (100 resource units, 30-day validity, 5 concurrent tasks) up to a ~$700 Standard pack (5,000 units, 20 concurrent tasks), and per-generation costs of roughly $0.18 (Kling v1) to $1.70 (v2 / v2.1 Master) for a 5-second clip, with 10-second clips at 2x. Treat these as unverified.
