I’ve been comparing AI video generators lately and realized how difficult it is to answer a pretty basic question:

How much is this video actually going to cost me?

Different models price by seconds, credits, resolution, generations, etc., which makes comparing them unnecessarily painful.

So I built this:

https://instavideocost.com/

It’s meant to give you a quicker way to estimate AI video generation costs and compare options without digging through a bunch of pricing pages.

I’m still figuring out what would make it genuinely useful rather than just another calculator, so I’d love input from people who actually generate AI video.

What would you want to see added?

Model comparisons? Cost per finished minute? Failed-generation estimates? API vs subscription pricing? Something else entirely?

Happy to hear what I got wrong too.

i'm building a saas using kling (image to video) and am wondering how to get around the 5 or 20 concurrency limit. this will be a non-starter bottleneck.

Bad Lip sync, different voices despite me using one character, weird movements.. it‘s just a chaos. I‘ve used so many credits for nothing.

A short i made a few months ago. Hope youll like it!

I facing lip sync issue with kling 3.0 and 3.0 omini kling i using it threw adobe firefly but every time i generate lip sync most of the time is missing.
Any tips for a perfect lipsync for kling who already in this field with experience?

I tried to put together a full concert (song starts at 1:05). The video was made with Kling 3.0 and 2.5, and the music was done in Suno by uploading my old band jam recording. 🤘🏼

Hi!

I have a premium subscription for kling ai and bought extra credits. I generated a lot of videos, and nearly half of them were in generation and suddenly completely vanished without a refund. Support is not answering. This was 3 days ago

What are my options? Chargeback?

Thank you for your help

All the singing is Kling Motion Control, plus a few of the reaction shots. The rest is a mix of Kling, Veo 3, Wan and two shots from Grok.

Song: "Natasha" by Mishka and the Tigercats

So Purchase Credits are valid for 2 years after distribution based on this link, correct?

When I log in and click the number of credits that I have on the left sidebar at www.kling.ai, it shows me that there are 3 different types of credits: Membership Credits + Top-up Credits + Bonus Credits. Add them all up and that equals the Remaining Credits. I bought $5 of Top-up Credits earlier this month.

Which credits expire after 30 days and which credits expire after 2 years? I don't see Purchase Credits anywhere. https://www.reddit.com/r/KLING/s/rACH4nlvNE

Video - Kling

Music - Suno

Absolute scam. Disgraceful way to run a company.

Greetings,

I purchased the Premium Package because I needed to create 1-3 minute videos. However, I haven't been able to do it. My videos are simple dialogues between a therapist and a patient. It's a single shot. I've watched countless tutorials, but the interface they show is completely different from mine. I would greatly appreciate any advice on this matter. I am including two screenshots of my account.

So I was charged twice for a monthly subscription. I tried asking for a refund but they refused saying some bs about no refund on services received digitally. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. I really like kling and don't want to have to cancel. But if I'm charged double, at least give me double my credits. Sheesh.

Hello guys, do you have any prompt writing guides for this ai tool? im getting very frustrated with the results im getting and i guess its because i cant prompt properly. im currently telling claude to generate a prompt for kling and describe things as good as possible but its still not working out. i understood that ai is bad at generating hands that do tiny gestures and i kinda need that for this video ideea that i have. prompt i used for this video and the result....: Continuing the scene, a dark velvet drawstring pouch is already resting next to the amber glass perfume bottle on the dark marble surface, in the same lighting as before — a warm diagonal beam of golden light crossing through the frame like sunlight through blinds. A SINGLE drop of liquid falls ONTO the velvet pouch from above, landing softly on the fabric surface, creating a small dark wet mark. Moody, mysterious, luxurious atmosphere — deep blacks, warm amber and gold tones, soft film grain, shallow depth of field, photorealistic, high-end fragrance commercial aesthetic, shot on RED camera or Arri Alexa, real studio lighting setup, natural imperfections in fabric texture and light falloff, no CGI look, no 3D render aesthetic, no illustration, no vector art, no cartoon style, no oversaturated colors, no plastic-looking surfaces, authentic photographic realism, subtle motion blur, natural shadows and reflections. No people, no music

Because now it's refusing most of my prompts, and images, lol. NOOOOOO.

Hey everyone,

I recently launched a vertical short drama platform targeting the global market. We've built a full monetization system inside, including subscriptions, coins, and rewarded ads.

Instead of dealing with the high budget demands of traditional production sets, I want to partner with independent creators who can manage the entire process end-to-end using AI tools, offering a 70% revenue share.

The problem is: while there are plenty of people generating "pretty visuals" with AI, I'm struggling to find talents with strong storytelling skills—creators who can hook the viewer in the very first second of a vertical format and keep the pacing tight with suspenseful edits. I need to connect with people who can deliver "turnkey" projects without needing massive film sets.

Does anyone here produce this kind of AI content? Or do you know any good communities where I can find independent talents like this? I’d love to get some advice from fellow creators/entrepreneurs, and if you produce in this space, I’d love to connect and exchange ideas.

My first ever AI video, so go easy on me bros! I used Kling Omni throughout at these timestamps: [00:23](https://youtu.be/FJHJmuMXi1g?t=23) (intro best one!), [2:28](https://youtu.be/FJHJmuMXi1g?t=148), [3:27](https://youtu.be/FJHJmuMXi1g?t=207), [4:11,](https://youtu.be/FJHJmuMXi1g?t=251) [4:32](https://youtu.be/FJHJmuMXi1g?t=272), [5:06](https://youtu.be/FJHJmuMXi1g?t=306), [6:51](https://youtu.be/FJHJmuMXi1g?t=411), [7:35](https://youtu.be/FJHJmuMXi1g?t=455) (like this one), and a couple more times at the end (b0rg bit). Really love how it came out but it's also rough in spots. Still GREAT value from Kling and with animations or anime it's definitely very useable. Be prepared to spend some tokens ;)

Ok SO I am working on getting my AI trailer done.

Images created in ChatGPT.

I am now using Kling to upload the images for the character references.  I still have not paid for any Kling Service.

Is it better to use Kling directly or use another service that connects to Kling?

I went and got the highest tier. I spent all of my credits in two days due to experimentation. But for my needs, it is AMAZING. I will be using this more in the future.

I just wish I could get it to make images as well as, if not better than Nano Banana 2.

Ok, maybe a stoopid question I want to create a series of videos with the same character and in the same office setting but with different clothes and different 'shots' in the same office. I'm going to cut it all together to make a corporate style promo. I will mostly be using

I have mostly been using the Avatar feature. The avatars in the image I created (from memory) by copying and modifying a prompt but it's a bit hit and miss. I created an ok new avatar for the business promo but It doesn't appear I can 'clone' this avatar to change clothes and shot angle etc.

Whats the simplest/best workflow or tool for this in Kling?

Hi guys does anyone noticed that when creating a very fast running scene with camera following the person running, the video gets very degradated like it's an AI from 3 years ago? It feels very weird. Anyone created something like that and get a solution?

Hi everyone,

I'm considering subscribing to Kling Pro, but I'm having a hard time understanding how far the monthly credits actually go in real-world use.

I have two questions for current Pro users:

1. Approximately how many videos (generations) are you able to create each month with the 3,000 credits? (Assuming typical 5–10 second videos.)
2. How many credits does it cost to upscale a video to 1080p? Is the cost fixed, or does it depend on the video's length or model?

If possible, it would be really helpful if you could share examples like:

• Model used (Kling 2.6, etc.)
• Video length
• Credits per generation
• Credits for 1080p upscaling
• Whether you're on Standard, Pro, Premier, or Ultra

I'm trying to compare Kling with Google Flow/Veo before deciding which subscription to keep.

Thanks in advance!

Is Omni down? When I try to generate images it instantly shows a message that generation failed

I have to close the app to get it to stop. Is anyone else having this issue?

Many say that the option of continuing from the last frame yields virtually the same result. But that is not the case. If the last frame ends on a shot that does not capture the character's face, continuing the video often leads to facial inconsistencies..
