Kling AI costs nothing on the free Basic account, and its paid personal plans run from **Standard at $8.80 a month** (660 credits) to Ultra+ at $544.99 a month (57,000 credits), per account, at the US prices we read in November 2026 [1]. Yearly billing cuts every plan by 25% against twelve monthly renewals. Teams pay $98 per seat a month, with three seats minimum. The real cost is credits, though. They expire after 31 days, the fee is non-refundable once a plan is active, and Kling publishes no credit rate for its newest model, Kling 4.0. Buy the smallest plan your monthly output needs, not the one with the biggest discount.


**$8.80 a month** — Kling AI Standard renewal price per account (US, November 2026), with 660 credits a month.



- **25%** — Yearly billing saving vs twelve monthly renewals, every personal plan
- **31 days** — How long monthly plan credits last; no rollover
- **$1 = 66 credits** — Standard rate for buying Kling credits; purchased credits last 2 years


## The plans and what each one costs

Kling sells one subscription at a time per account. Each paid tier carries a monthly credit allowance, and Premier is a single plan with a credit selector rather than four separate products. The table shows the renewal prices on the US membership page in November 2026, which is the price authority; prices may differ by country.

| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly | Credits a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $0 | — | free monthly credits on login (amount not published) |
| Standard | $8.80 a month | $79.20 a year | 660 |
| Pro | $32.56 a month | $293.04 a year | 3,000 |
| Premier 8K | $80.96 a month | $728.64 a year | 8,000 |
| Premier 18K | $181.99 a month | $1,639.99 a year | 18,000 |
| Premier 28K | $283.99 a month | $2,550.99 a year | 28,000 |
| Premier 38K | $376.99 a month | $3,389.99 a year | 38,000 |
| Ultra+ | $544.99 a month | $4,902.99 a year | 57,000 |
| Team | $98 per seat a month | $876 per seat a year | 10,000 per seat |

Every paid personal plan unlocks the same core: Professional mode, 1080p and 4K video, brand watermark removal, **commercial use of outputs**, four videos per generation, video extension on older models and image upscaling. Pro, Premier and Ultra+ add priority access to new features, which Standard does not list. The free tier stays watermarked, 720p and personal-use only; our [free tier guide](/articles/is-kling-ai-free) covers that line in detail. The old Ultra plan is closed to new subscribers, so Ultra+ is the top personal tier you can buy today.

Monthly plans also show a discounted first month. It is available once per account. Standard's first month is $6.99, once; then $8.80 a month. Pro's first month is $25.99, once, then $32.56 a month, and Ultra+ opens at $432.99 for the first month, once. Budget on the renewal price, because that is what you pay from month two onward.

## What the credits actually buy

Credits leave your balance when a generation starts. The cost depends on the model, the mode, resolution, clip length, native audio, any video input and how many outputs you ask for, and the exact figure appears on the Generate button before you confirm. Kling publishes per-second rates for its older models. On Kling 3.0 and 3.0 Omni without a video input, 720p costs 6 credits a second without native audio and 9 with it; 1080p costs 8 without audio and 12 with. Native 4K in the 3.0 series costs 30 credits a second.

Here is what that means per plan, by our arithmetic, on Kling 3.0 rates. Standard's 660 credits buy 110 seconds at 720p without audio, 82 seconds at 1080p without audio, 55 seconds at 1080p with native audio, or 22 seconds of native 4K, so Standard covers under a minute of 1080p video with native audio. Pro's 3,000 credits stretch to 500, 375, 250 or 100 seconds on the same settings. Premier 18K reaches 3,000, 2,250, 1,500 or 600 seconds. A single 10-second Kling 3.0 clip at 1080p with native audio costs 120 credits.


> 💡 **Check the Generate button first:** Kling does not publish a consumer credit rate for Kling 4.0, so read the cost shown on the Generate button during a short pilot before choosing a tier.


**Kling 4.0 has no published consumer rate.** It was released to all users on October 15, 2026, with 3 to 30 seconds per generation and 4K output listed in Kling's user guide, alongside the cheaper Kling 4.0 Flash at 720p. Kling does not publish a per-second credit rate for Kling 4.0, 4.0 Flash or 3.0 Turbo on its plans or guides; the cost shows on the Generate button before you confirm. So plan 4.0 budgets from a short pilot, not from the Kling 3.0 rates above.

Other features have their own rates. Motion Control on VIDEO 3.0 costs 9 credits a second in Standard mode and 12 in Professional, so a 10-second take runs 90 or 120 credits. Avatar costs 4 or 8 credits a second, with a two-second minimum. Failed generations return their credits, with one exception: when complex motion makes a Motion Control output shorter than the upload, the credits are not refunded.

## Monthly, yearly, or buying credits outright

Yearly billing saves 25% against twelve monthly renewal payments on every personal plan. In dollars, by our arithmetic, that is $26.40 a year on Standard, $97.68 on Pro, $543.89 on Premier 18K and $1,636.89 on Ultra+. The page advertises a bigger percentage. That figure is measured against a crossed-out list price, not against what you would actually pay monthly, so treat 25% as the real saving.

Per credit, bigger plans are cheaper. At renewal monthly prices, 100 credits cost about $1.33 on Standard, $1.09 on Pro, $1.01 on Premier 8K to 28K, $0.99 on Premier 38K and $0.96 on Ultra+. Yearly billing drops those to $1.00, about $0.81, $0.76, $0.74 and $0.72. Buying credits outright costs $1 for 66 credits, about $1.52 per 100, so 660 credits bought directly cost $10. A subscription is the cheaper way to hold credits at every tier.

Purchased credits do have one advantage. **They last two years**, while monthly plan credits expire 31 days after issue and never roll over [2]. Credits that expire soonest are spent first. Owning purchased credits does not unlock paid features, though: watermark removal, 1080p and commercial use need an active subscription. Credits cannot move between accounts, or between personal, team and enterprise spaces, and cannot be cashed out. Upgrading to a higher tier, or from monthly to yearly in the same tier, applies immediately with the new credits; a lower tier starts only when the current one ends.


> 💡 **Upgrade instead of topping up:** Purchased credits cost about $1.52 per 100, more than the per-credit rate inside any Kling subscription, but they last two years; compare a top-up with the full price of the next plan before upgrading.


## Team seats, Enterprise packages and the API

The Team plan costs $98 per seat a month, or $876 per seat a year, which the page shows as $73 per seat a month billed yearly. A workspace holds 3 to 15 seats and the Owner takes one, so the smallest Team costs $294 a month or $2,628 a year by our arithmetic. Each seat gets 10,000 credits a month that cannot be moved between seats. The plan works on the web only, includes shared assets with roles, and Kling states it does not train on Team data. Seats added mid-term are charged pro rata. Enterprise packages are sold separately: Enterprise Starter at $1,550 for 100,000 credits and 5 seats, Enterprise Basic (not the free Basic account) at $2,950 for 200,000 credits and 10 seats, and Enterprise Advanced at $4,200 for 300,000 credits and 15 seats, with a custom tier on request.

The developer API is a different currency. It sells prepaid units, not app credits, on its own pricing page [3]. Flagship packs, the only ones that run Kling 4.0 and 4.0 Flash, start with a $9 trial and go to 180-day packs of $500, $2,000 and $8,000. At the $500 pack's unit price, a Kling 4.0 second at 1080p costs about $0.23. General packs cover older models at $0.14 a unit. Our [Kling AI API guide](/articles/kling-ai-api) breaks down every rate.

## Renewal, cancellation and refunds

Monthly and yearly plans renew automatically until you cancel. Kling warns that canceling within one day of the cycle's end may come too late, because the next charge may already be processing [4]. Cancel more than a day before the cycle ends. After canceling, the plan runs to the end of the paid cycle, and then any unused monthly credits are lost.

How to cancel depends on where you paid. On the web, go to Profile, then Manage Plan, then Cancel Subscription. On iPhone, use Settings and Subscriptions, and turn renewal off at least 24 hours before the period ends. On Android, use Payments and subscriptions in Google Play. Credit Auto-Recharge is a separate charge: cancel it inside Kling under Auto-Recharge Management, not through the payment channel, and canceling it leaves your membership untouched.


> ⚠ **Cancel well before renewal:** Kling warns that a cancellation within one day of the cycle's end may come too late to stop the next charge, and fees are non-refundable once activated.


Refunds are narrow. Once a plan or credits are activated, the fee is non-refundable; failed generations return credits, not money. Kling promises notice and a refund of prepaid unused services only if it discontinues the whole service. Complaints we read on review sites cluster around renewal charges after canceling and refused refunds. Price rises come with notice, and you can cancel and keep the plan to the end of the cycle. Invoices are web only, requested under Purchase History and issued within 10 business days.


## FAQ

**Does Kling AI offer a free trial of a paid plan?**

Kling does not list a free trial of its paid plans; the free Basic account gives monthly free credits on login, and monthly paid plans carry a discounted first month that is available once per account.

**Is there a 7-day pass?**

Kling's membership FAQ mentions a one-time 7-day pass whose credits last 7 days, but the US price list we read does not publish its price.

**What happens to my credits if I downgrade or cancel?**

Unused monthly plan credits are lost when the subscription ends, while purchased and promotional credits stay usable within their validity. Elements above the lower tier's cap stay usable but cannot be edited or added.

**Does the Kling AI app cost the same on iPhone?**

Kling does not publish App Store prices next to its web prices, so check the price in the app before paying; our figures come from the US web membership page. App Store purchases are managed and canceled through Apple, and the Team plan and invoices are available on the web only.


## The bottom line

Kling's list prices are low at the bottom and steep at the top, and the cheapest credit is always the one inside a subscription, not a top-up. Size the plan from seconds of output you need each month, check the Generate button on Kling 4.0 before committing to a tier, and pay yearly only once a month or two of use proves the volume. Then set a reminder to cancel at least two days before renewal if you stop.
