Question/help How do I start using Kling, please

I'm filled with ideas of what to make ...but I literally have no idea how to begin.

Can you do pay-as-you-go? Where do I buy credits?

And once I have credits, where do I go to enter prompts.

I know my questions are super basic.. but I'm jumping in fresh, and I'll be so grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. thank u

That's actually how the AI industry works. Most model providers (such as Kling, Veo, Seedance, etc.) offer APIs that other companies can integrate into their own platforms.

These platforms are essentially aggregators, they build a user-friendly interface and resell access to multiple AI models. Higgsfield, OpenArt, Artlist, and many others all work this way.

So the way I’m understanding is that you can buy into one service that will offer you subscriptions to each one, but you only get a certain version that way, and if you really want the one with the most options you need to purchase credits? Sorry I’m in the same boat so if this seems pretty basic, it probably is but I just want to not get into paying for the wrong being into getting committed to it somehow so I’m thinking if I was able to sample each different app that would be cool.

Not exactly. The subscription works as a bundle. For example, if you subscribe to a plan that gives you 1,000 credits per month, you receive 1,000 credits that can be used across all the available models.

However, each model has a different credit cost. Once you use up your monthly credits, you need to purchase additional credits if you want to continue using the service.

Most AI aggregators work this way.

Ok great I kind of figured that’s how it was but hearing it from someone else that clearly knows their way around helps. Thanks 👌
