*Starter = $9.90 ÷ 115 credits (8.61¢/credit). Max = $89.90 ÷ 1,300 credits (6.92¢/credit). The $5.90 Mini pack (60 credits, 9.83¢/credit) prices the same clips at $1.97–$6.39. Longer durations and higher resolutions cost proportionally more; the exact total is shown before you generate.
How the pricing works
Six AI models share one credit balance. You buy a one-time pack, spend it on any model, and whatever is left stays in your account forever. There is no monthly minimum, no plan to cancel, and no expiry date.
The per-credit price falls as packs get bigger — from 9.83¢ (Mini) down to 6.92¢ (Max) — so the same 20-credit Kling clip costs $1.97 on the smallest pack and $1.38 on the largest, a 30% difference.
Worked example: three clips for under $6
