Which makes longer videos — Kling or Veo?
Kling. Kling goes up to 15 seconds at a time, Veo — up to 8 seconds. Anything longer is made from several clips stitched together afterwards.
No such language.
Kling is better when you need a longer shot and the chance to try cheaply before paying for the final. Veo is better when you need maximum resolution and the prompt is long and detailed. The difference in length and resolutions is in the table below — both numbers are read live from the platform, so they're correct at the moment you look at them.
The price in credits is per SECOND of video and is shown on the “Generate” button before every run. The “Five seconds cost” row below is the same price multiplied by five.

Kling offers several separate options of the same brand — standard, professional and high-resolution. This isn't variety for variety's sake: it means the same shot can be run cheaply as a test and then expensively as the final, without switching models and without losing the style.
Kling also accepts a negative description for image to video, so you can say what should NOT appear in the frame. With a product, this saves several runs, because typical defects (distorted hands, text in the frame, watermark) are ruled out in advance instead of being found later.
Clip length is its other advantage. Kling goes further than Veo in a single shot — see the "Longest clip at once" row in the table. For a shot that has to hold an entire ad slogan, this is the difference between one run and gluing two pieces together.
Veo accepts a much longer prompt than Kling. See the "Longest prompt" row — the difference is an order of magnitude, not a few percent. This matters in practice when the scene is complex: clothing, setting, lighting, camera movement and mood can all go into one prompt instead of being cut down to the essentials.
Veo also offers a higher resolution than Kling. For a shot that will play on a big screen or be cropped and enlarged in editing, this is decisive — an upscaled 1080p frame never looks like it was shot in higher resolution.
For image-to-video, Veo accepts more than one input image. This is the "references" mode: you show the model the same character or product from several angles and get a shot in which it stays recognizable. Kling accepts one image.
Where Veo loses. Veo cuts the clip off earlier than Kling. If your script needs one continuous shot longer than its limit, Veo simply isn’t the model — you’ll have to assemble it from segments, and the stitching always shows when the camera moves. Veo also has fewer variants, so fewer price steps: there is no cheap mode to try twenty ideas in a day.
Where Kling loses. Kling doesn’t reach Veo’s resolution. If the final shot will be watched on a TV or enlarged in editing, the difference shows. Kling also accepts a much shorter description — a complex scene has to be boiled down to the essentials, and that means more runs until you find the right wording.
Start from the shot, not the brand. If the shot is long and you’ll run it many times until you find it — Kling. If the shot is a single, detailed one and will be watched on a big screen — Veo.
If you have a photo of a specific person or product and it has to stay recognizable across several clips, check out the reference mode in Veo. If you just want motion on one photo, both do it — then the price in the table decides.
Kling. Kling goes up to 15 seconds at a time, Veo — up to 8 seconds. Anything longer is made from several clips stitched together afterwards.
Kling offers 480p, 720p, 1080p. Veo offers 720p, 1080p, 4k. A higher resolution costs more credits for the same length.
Kling. Kling goes up to 10 seconds at a time, Veo — up to 8 seconds. Anything longer is made from several clips stitched together afterwards.
Kling offers 720p, 1080p. Veo offers 720p, 1080p, 4k. A higher resolution costs more credits for the same length.
Both produce convincing motion in a short shot. In a longer shot, the risk of hands and face breaking down grows for both, so a longer clip is run several times and the best take is chosen.
Yes. The studio rewrites the Bulgarian description into a prompt the model understands. The difference in maximum description length remains — see the "Longest description" row in the table.
For vertical video in a feed, resolution is rarely the bottleneck, but the number of variants you try is. That speaks in favor of Kling. If the ad will also run on a TV screen, Veo is the safer choice.
