Kling AI pricing in 2026: the first-month offer, the real renewal and the yearly cost
Last checked: 10 November 2026. The Kling membership page is public and shows two sets of numbers, a discounted first month and the price after it. This guide puts them side by side, adds the yearly totals, and says what the page does not state. Source: Kling membership plans. Prices change without notice.
The four paid tiers right now
Below a free Basic tier, the page lists Standard, Pro, Premier and Ultra+. Paid tiers list queue-free generation, 1080p and 4K video, brand watermark removal and commercial use of what you generate.
| Tier | Credits a month | First month | List price | Month two onward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 660 | $6.99 | $10 | $8.80/mo |
| Pro | 3,000 | $25.99 | $37 | $32.56/mo |
| Premier | 18,000 | $144.99 | $207 | $181.99/mo |
| Ultra+ | 57,000 | $432.99 | $619 | $544.99/mo |
Monthly toggle, 10 November 2026. The first-month offer is stated as available once per customer.
Why the first month is not the price
The cost per 100 credits printed on the monthly toggle is worked out from the first-month price. From month two the same credits cost more, which changes the ranking of the tiers if you plan to stay.
| Tier | Per 100 credits, first month | Per 100 credits, renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $1.06 | $1.33 |
| Pro | $0.87 | $1.09 |
| Premier | $0.81 | $1.01 |
| Ultra+ | $0.76 | $0.96 |
Both columns are our arithmetic from their prices and credit counts. If you only need one month for one project, the first-month price is the real cost; if you will renew, use the second column.
The yearly toggle: one payment for twelve months
| Tier | Yearly payment | Marked as | 12 months at renewal price | Saving | Credits over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $79.20 | $120 list, 34% off | $105.60 | $26.40 | 7,920 |
| Pro | $293.04 | $444 list, 34% off | $390.72 | $97.68 | 36,000 |
| Premier | $1,639.99 | $2,484 list, 34% off | $2,183.88 | $543.89 | 216,000 |
| Ultra+ | $4,902.99 | $7,428 list, 34% off | $6,539.88 | $1,636.89 | 684,000 |
The savings match the "Save" lines on the yearly toggle. The page says yearly plans auto-renew and can be cancelled any time; it does not say whether the payment is refundable or what happens to unused credits. The printed price per 100 credits on the yearly toggle is $1.00 for Standard, $0.81 for Pro, $0.76 for Premier, $0.72 for Ultra+.
Before you subscribe
- Decide whether you are buying one month or a year, then read the matching column.
- Ask support what happens to unused credits and whether a yearly payment can be refunded; the public page is silent on both.
- The page lists credits per month, not credits per clip, so run one short test generation and watch the balance before choosing a tier.
- Do not confuse the membership with the developer API. The API sells prepaid packages by the second of video, for example $500 for 3,250 units with 180-day validity and no rollover, on its own pricing page.
Black Friday and promo codes
Not verified. On 10 November 2026 the page shows the first-purchase offers above and a referral box that adds 10% on upgrades, with no Black Friday campaign or code named. If you see a code elsewhere, check the final total against the table here before paying.
If you would rather make short videos from your own photos
If what you want is finished short videos from your own photos rather than a model to prompt, CastTake sells credits the same way. On a yearly plan the credits arrive up front: Starter is up to 240 five-second MiniMax H3 clips at 720p, Creator is up to 960 five-second MiniMax H3 clips at 720p, Studio is up to 2,160 five-second MiniMax H3 clips at 720p. Other models cost more credits per clip; every video shows its exact credit price before you press make.
- Yearly credits are valid for 13 months from the day they are granted.
- A render that fails on our side returns its credits automatically.
- Unused credits are refundable within 10 days of any payment, including a renewal, for the share you have not used.
- Cancel any time in Settings, Billing, with no email needed; it stops the next charge.

Kling pricing questions
How much does Kling AI cost per month?
Read off the public membership page on 10 November 2026, the Monthly toggle shows four paid tiers: Standard from $6.99 for the first month, Pro from $25.99, Premier from $144.99 and Ultra+ from $432.99. Those are first-purchase prices, offered once, and the page says the month after costs $8.80, $32.56, $181.99 and $544.99 respectively. The credits per month are 660, 3,000, 18,000 and 57,000. There is also a free Basic tier at $0. So the number that matters for a budget is the second-month price, not the first.
Is the Kling yearly plan worth it?
The yearly toggle shows $79.20 for Standard, $293.04 for Pro, $1,639.99 for Premier and $4,902.99 for Ultra+, each billed once for the year and each marked 34% off its list price. Against twelve months at the renewal price of the monthly toggle, the page itself prints the savings as $26.40, $97.68, $543.89 and $1,636.89. Whether that is worth it depends on whether you will use twelve months of credits. A first month at a discount followed by cancelling can cost less than a year for someone who only needs one project.
What does a Kling credit cost?
The page prints a price per 100 credits. On the Yearly toggle it is $1.00 for Standard, $0.81 for Pro, $0.76 for Premier and $0.72 for Ultra+. On the Monthly toggle the printed figures are $1.06, $0.87, $0.81 and $0.76, which are worked out from the first-month price. Using the renewal price instead, the same tiers come to about $1.33, $1.09, $1.01 and $0.96 per 100 credits, which is a fairer picture of month two onward. How many credits a clip costs depends on the model, and this page does not list a per-clip figure.
Does Kling have a Black Friday deal in 2026?
We could not verify one. On 10 November 2026 the public membership page shows first-purchase offers of 30% off the first month and yearly prices marked 34% off, but it names no Black Friday campaign and no promo code. A referral field offers a further 10% on upgrades. Treat any Black Friday code found elsewhere as unverified and compare the checkout total with the numbers here before you pay. Prices can change before the end of November.
Can you cancel a Kling subscription?
The monthly plans on the page say they can be cancelled any time, and the yearly plans say they auto-renew and can be cancelled any time. What the page does not state is what happens to unused credits after cancelling or whether a yearly payment is refundable. Ask support in writing if either matters to you, and cancel before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.
Is Kling API pricing the same as the subscription?
No, they are separate products. The API page sells prepaid packages, for example $500 for 3,250 units with 180-day validity and no rollover or extension, and bills by the second of video: on the Kling 3.0 720p rate without native audio it lists 0.6 units a second. That is a developer product with its own units. If you are choosing a membership to make videos in the web app, the tiers above are the relevant prices.
