Kling v3.0 Std vs Pro vs 4K

Updated 2026-10-02

Kling v3.0 is offered in three tiers. They are exposed as three separate model ids, so there is no hidden quality flag to discover.

A practical workflow

1. Draft on Std. Iterate on prompts and framing at the lowest tier — it is the cheapest per second.
2. Promote winners to Pro. Re-submit the approved prompt (and start image) with kling-v3.0-pro.
3. Reserve 4K for deliverables. Only the final cut needs the highest tier.

What to check before committing

• The live price table — tier gaps are multiplicative, so draft volume dominates cost.
• Whether you need a pinned host or are happy with automatic routing to the cheapest healthy one.
• Duration: billing is per requested second at job creation.

Other Kling variants

Kling O3 (omni), Turbo and Motion Control are separate model ids with their own prices; Motion Control transfers motion from a reference clip. All use the same /v1/videos endpoint — see the quickstart.
