Kling AI on DER: pricing, API and every version

Kling is Kuaishou’s family of AI models for video and images. DER runs 5 versions of it on the same pay-as-you-go credits: text to video, image to video, start and end frames to video, reference to video, text to image, and image editing. Compare what each one makes and what a whole order costs below, then try one in the studio or call it from the API.
