Kling AI
- Long single clips up to 30 seconds
- Free credits refill every day
- Paid plans start at $10 a month
- Free videos are watermarked and non-commercial
- Trains on your content unless you email to opt out
- App Store label lists data used to track you
Kling is the video generator to beat on value. Kling 4.0, released in October 2026, makes single clips up to 30 seconds and can work from up to 15 reference assets, which helps keep characters and products consistent. The free plan refills 66 credits a day, enough to learn the ropes, but those clips carry a watermark and aren't cleared for commercial use. The catch is privacy: its terms allow training on what you upload.
