- You want both start- and end-frame guidance in one clip.
Choose Kling 2.6 Pro when…
- Budget: a 10-second Kling clip is 70 credits — the same credits buy under 2 seconds of Veo.

Kling 2.6 Pro is the volume workhorse at under a fifth of the per-second price. Veo 3.1 earns its premium when native audio and end-frame control matter.
