Kling AI 2.6 uses a credit-based pricing system, with different costs for silent video vs native audio-visual video, plus extra variations depending on the platform (official Kling, API hosts, and creative tools that integrate Kling).

Here’s a clear, structured breakdown so you can understand what you actually pay per clip and how to keep costs under control.

1. How Kling AI 2.6 Pricing Works (Big Picture)

Kling’s official platform uses an internal currency called “Inspiration Points” for its Video 2.6 model. You spend points each time you generate a clip, and membership tiers give you discounts or monthly point bundles. 

Key ideas:

• You pay in credits/points, not dollars per video.

• Cost depends on:

  • Mode: silent vs high-quality vs high-quality + native audio

  • Length: 5 seconds vs 10 seconds

  • Where you use Kling 2.6 (Kling’s own site vs partner platforms / APIs)

2. Official Kling Video 2.6 Pricing (Inspiration Points)

Based on official-style breakdowns and trusted reviews, the Video 2.6 model on Kling’s own platform is priced roughly like this for non-members:

2.1 Core Video 2.6 modes

• Standard (Video Only)

  • 5 seconds: 15 points

  • 10 seconds: 30 points

• High-Quality (Video Only)

  • 5 seconds: 25 points

  • 10 seconds: 50 points

• High-Quality + AV Sync (Video + Native Audio)

  • 5 seconds: 50 points

  • 10 seconds: 100 points

So if you want the full Kling 2.6 experience (video + voice + SFX + ambience), you’re usually looking at 50–100 points per clip, depending on length.

Some promotions have offered discounted rates for members (for example, temporarily lowering the 5s/10s audio-visual mode to around 35 / 70 points).

3. Membership Plans & Credit Bundles

Kling’s global pricing is built around subscription plans that give you a pool of credits per month. External breakdowns and community posts consistently show tiers like Standard / Basic / Pro / Premium / Enterprise, each with different credit totals.

Example patterns from public comparisons:

• A basic/standard plan in the ~$7–$10/month range might include ~600–700 credits, enough for:

  • Dozens of silent 5s clips, or

  • Around 6–12 high-quality AV clips (depending on mode).

• A pro plan in the ~$20–$30/month range may offer ~3,000 credits, aimed at small teams or heavy solo creators.

• Higher premium/enterprise tiers bundle several thousand credits per month and sometimes add:

  • Higher resolutions (up to 4K)

  • Longer duration limits

  • API access and priority support

Exact names, prices, and credit counts vary by region and promo, but the pattern is always: higher monthly fee → more credits → lower effective cost per clip.

4. Kling 2.6 Pricing on Partner Platforms

Kling Video 2.6 is also sold through third-party hosts, and each one layers its own pricing on top of Kling’s core cost.

4.1 API platforms (Kie AI, FAL, etc.)

• Kie AI exposes a Kling 2.6 API with native audio, where you pay per generation with credits and can start with free test credits and starter plans. 

• Some infrastructure providers (like FAL, summarized on klingai26.com) quote rough per-second prices, e.g. around $0.07 per second without audio and $0.14 per second with audio for Kling 2.6 Pro image-to-video.

If you’re building an app, this is the layer you’d plug into—and your real cost per video will depend on how long your clips are and whether you always enable native audio.

4.2 Creative tools (Media.io, VEED, etc.)

Creative/video-editing sites wrap Kling 2.6 inside their own pricing:

• VEED’s Kling 2.6 page points back to Kling’s official credit pricing (15/30 points for standard video-only, 50/100 for high-quality native audio), and then applies VEED’s own credit system on top.

• Media.io notes that a 5-second clip on the newer Kling 2.6 model is “around 35 credits” on typical membership plans, and that you buy Kling access through tiered subscriptions (Standard, Pro, Premier, Ultra) that bundle credits.

• Some platforms (Pixazo, Akool, etc.) integrate Kling 2.6 as one of several models, so Kling generations just consume part of your generic AI credit pool.

Bottom line: third-party tools usually hide the raw point numbers behind their own coins/credits, but the relationship is the same:
longer & higher-quality & with audio → higher credit cost.

5. Free Trial & Daily Free Credits

There are ways to try Kling 2.6 without paying immediately:

• Some global versions of Kling (and partner fronts) offer daily free credits. One widely cited example: a global Kling frontend that gives 66 free credits per day, with simple generations costing around 10 credits each.

• API hosts such as Kie AI advertise free credits or sandbox access for testing Kling 2.6 before you commit to a paid plan.

These offers change over time, so it’s important to check the current free-tier rules on whichever site you’re actually using.

6. How Much Does a Typical Kling 2.6 Clip “Really” Cost?

Because nearly everything runs on credits, the real money cost per clip depends on:

1. Your plan price (e.g., $7–$30+ per month).

2. How many credits that plan includes.

3. How many credits each generation uses (15–100+ for Video 2.6 depending on mode).

For example (purely illustrative, based on public numbers):

• If you have roughly 660 credits on a ~$7–$10 tier and generate only 10s high-quality AV clips (100 points each), you get about 6 full Kling 2.6 AV videos from that pool. 

• If instead you generate standard silent clips (15/30 points), you can create dozens of short test videos before turning on audio for final versions.

Creators and reviewers often describe Kling 2.6 as “cost-effective for short-form, voice-heavy content” because the combined cost of video + voice + SFX is still lower than stitching together separate video, TTS, and sound design tools—especially at scale.

7. How to Keep Kling 2.6 Costs Under Control

If you’re planning lots of generations (for clients or your own projects), a few habits can save a ton of credits:

1. Prototype in cheaper modes first

   • Use standard video-only for look tests, camera tests, and framing.

   • Only switch to high-quality + native audio when the shot is almost final.

2. Stick to 5 seconds for experiments

   • A 5s AV clip is usually half the credits of a 10s one.

   • Use 10s only when your script really needs extra time.

3. Reuse assets

   • Generate key images once, then reuse them across multiple 2.6 runs (image-to-video) instead of regenerating everything from scratch.

4. Pick the right host for your use case

   • If you need API-level integration, providers like Kie AI, FAL, or Aimlapi may be cheaper per second. 

   • If you mainly want an editor + templates, creative tools like VEED or Media.io might fit better (even if the per-second price is a bit higher).

5. Watch for promos and sales

   • Official Kling memberships and some hosts run launch discounts where high-quality AV modes temporarily cost fewer points or come with extra credits.
