Kling 3.0 Omni API Pricing: Per-Second Cost for All 4 Endpoints
720p / second
$0.10
With sound
$0.129
4K / second
$0.479

TL;DR

  • Kling 3.0 Omni has four endpoints on HiAPI (text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, and video transformation), and all of them bill per second.
  • Text, image, and reference-to-video without a reference video share one rate: $0.10 per second at 720p ($0.129 with sound), $0.129 at 1080p ($0.1645 with sound), and $0.479 at 4K.
  • Reference-to-video with a reference video, and transformation, use a second rate: $0.143 at 720p, $0.193 at 1080p, $0.479 at 4K. A 5-second 720p clip without sound costs $0.50, and failed tasks are free.

How billing works:

  • 4K is the same with or without sound: $0.479 per second.
  • A reference video turns sound off. With video_urls set, audio must be false, so that tier has a single price.
  • Transformation follows the source clip's length (3–15.5 seconds) and doesn't generate sound.
  • Text, image, and reference-to-video run 3–15 seconds, and resolution defaults to 720p.

Cost by duration

Text, image, and reference-to-video without a reference video:

Duration 720p 720p + sound 1080p 1080p + sound 4K
3 s $0.30 $0.387 $0.387 $0.4935 $1.437
5 s $0.50 $0.645 $0.645 $0.8225 $2.395
10 s $1.00 $1.29 $1.29 $1.645 $4.79
15 s $1.50 $1.935 $1.935 $2.4675 $7.185

Reference-to-video with a reference video, and transformation:

Duration 720p 1080p 4K
3 s $0.429 $0.579 $1.437
5 s $0.715 $0.965 $2.395
10 s $1.43 $1.93 $4.79
15 s $2.145 $2.895 $7.185

$10 covers 100 seconds at 720p without sound, about twenty 5-second clips.

What you get for the money

One paper boat through three endpoints: text-to-video for the first shot, then transformation to turn the rainy night into snow.

A paper boat drifts down a rain-soaked city gutter at dusk, neon signs reflecting and rippling on the water; the camera glides low beside it as raindrops splash around. Cinematic, shallow depth of field, smooth tracking motion.

Text-to-video, 720p, 3 seconds, no sound, $0.30.

Transform the scene into a snowy winter night: the gutter becomes a frozen stream with drifting snowflakes, the paper boat becomes a small glowing paper lantern boat, keep the exact camera motion and water movement from the original video. Cinematic, cold blue tones.

Transformation, 720p, follows the 3-second source, $0.429.

Omni vs the other Kling 3.0 lines

Model 720p / s 720p + sound 1080p / s 1080p + sound 4K / s
Kling 3.0 Omni $0.10 $0.129 $0.129 $0.1645 $0.479
Kling 3.0 $0.10 $0.143 $0.129 $0.193 $0.479
Kling 3.0 Turbo — (sound always on) $0.13 (sound included) — $0.16 (sound included) —

Without sound, Omni and standard Kling 3.0 cost the same. With sound, Omni is cheaper per second ($0.014 less at 720p, $0.0285 less at 1080p). What Omni adds is reference-to-video and transformation; for when to pick which, see Kling 3.0 Omni vs Kling 3.0.

Ways to spend less

  • Iterate at 720p, 3 seconds: $0.30 a try. Move to 1080p or 4K once the prompt works.
  • Leave sound off unless you need it: audio defaults to false; turning it on adds $0.029 per second at 720p.
  • Trim reference videos: the reference-video tier starts at $0.143 per second.
  • Set resolution on purpose: the default is 720p; ask for 1080p explicitly.

FAQ

Does the number of reference images change the price?

No. Reference-to-video pricing depends only on resolution, sound, and whether you send a reference video.

How is transformation billed?

Per second of output, and the output length follows the source video (3–15.5 seconds).

Am I charged for failed tasks?

No. You pay only for videos that generate successfully.

Can I get 4K with sound?

Yes. 4K is $0.479 per second either way.

Integration code is in the Kling 3.0 Omni API guide, and ready-made prompts in Kling 3.0 Omni prompt examples. Or generate your first clip on the model page.
