How the two compare
Price to get started
Kling's Standard plan is less than half the price of Google AI Pro. If you only need a few clips a month, Kling is the cheaper way in. Note that Kling's first month is 30% off; the prices above are what you pay after that.
Cost per clip
Per clip, Veo Fast is cheaper than Kling 3.0 on every Kling plan. But Google AI Pro's 1,000 Flow credits last for about 50 Veo Fast clips, while Kling Standard's 660 credits cover about 11 ten-second clips. Veo's higher-quality setting uses far more credits per clip than Veo Fast, so the gap shrinks if you need the best quality.
What else you get
Google AI Pro is more than video: it also includes Gemini, 5 TB of storage and other Google AI tools. Kling is a dedicated video tool, with features such as motion control and 1080p/4K output on paid plans.
Verdict
Pick Kling for the lowest monthly price and a tool made only for video. Pick Google Veo if you will make many clips a month, or if you would use Gemini and Google's other AI tools anyway.
Watch out
- Kling: the first month is 30% off. Watermark removal and commercial use only come with paid plans.
- Veo: you buy a whole Google AI plan, not just video. Students can get Google AI Pro free for a year.
