Next review Oct 19, 2026

A third-party model listed on both Luma's and Runway's official pricing pages. Luma publishes a per-second rate; Runway lists it in its plans, but part of Runway's rate table sits behind "View more", and the page we read has no rate for this model. Kling's own site lists it as the “Kling 3.0 Model Series”, made up of two models, VIDEO 3.0 and VIDEO 3.0 Omni. Credits per second on Kling's international web membership (kling.ai) were read from the generation page's official quote after signing in on Sep 19, 2026, and are linear in length.

Cheapest place to buy it at your volume

50 seconds of generation a month: 10 videos × 5 seconds each × 1 (average attempts per video). At least 720p, no audio needed. Change usage ↗

Does the cheapest way to pay change with volume?

One line per channel: an API is a straight line; a subscription is the cheapest plan that covers the month, so it climbs in steps and stops past the largest plan (extra credit packs are not counted).

Read on Kling's international web generation page while signed in (Sep 20, 2026): 720p, 1080p or 4K, 3 to 15 seconds, native audio that can be switched off, with first/last frames and multi-shot storytelling. Kling's developer platform bills in 5 and 10-second units, which differ from the lengths the web app offers.

The text-to-video board of the Artificial Analysis Video Arena: people watch two clips, pick the better one without knowing which model made it, and the votes give an Elo score. The rank is the model's place in the board's default view (current models), and names are written as the board writes them; checked Sep 26, 2026.

Rates come from Luma's official pricing page; seconds are the plan's credits divided by the rate. That is the ceiling if you do nothing else — credits also go to images, voice, upscaling and more, so the real total is lower. Where a model has several rows, the vendor prices clip lengths separately — the per-second rates really differ; it is not a typo. Models without an exact official rate we could find are left out; we don't estimate for them.

Models without an exact official rate we could find are left out; we don't estimate for them.

This model is included in plans on Runway, Krea, Higgsfield, Magnific, but we found no exact official rate for it there, so no durations are listed — we don't estimate on a vendor's behalf.

How the status is checked

Whether a model still runs is checked separately from prices: prices change monthly, but a model can disappear between two price syncs, quietly making every page that mentions it wrong. So each model record has its own confirmation date and review deadline; overdue records are flagged, never assumed to still be running.

Last confirmed on Sep 19, 2026; due to be rechecked by Oct 19, 2026.
