Resolution & Pricing Breakdown
The pricing strategies of these two models create an interesting crossover point. At 480p, Seedance 2.0 is the clear winner at 9 credits/s — Kling 3 Turbo doesn't even offer a 480p tier. At 720p, Seedance offers two options: 15 credits/s with audio and 20 credits/s without audio (for higher visual quality), while Kling 3 Turbo charges 18 credits/s with audio included.
The crossover happens at 1080p. Kling 3 Turbo charges 22 credits/s for 1080p with audio, while Seedance 2.0 charges 33 credits/s — making Kling 33% cheaper at Full HD. For a 5-second 1080p clip, that's 110 credits (Kling) vs 165 credits (Seedance) — a savings of 55 credits per clip.
The optimal strategy: use Seedance 2.0 at 480p for rapid prototyping and concept validation (27 credits for a 3-second clip), then switch to Kling 3 Turbo at 1080p for the final render (110 credits for 5 seconds). This approach gives you the cheapest iteration and the best value 1080p output.
Duration Flexibility
Kling 3 Turbo supports clips from 3 to 15 seconds, giving you a wide range for different content types. Short 3-second clips are perfect for social media teasers and GIF-style content.

Seedance 2.0 offers flexible duration through its per-second pricing model. You generate clips of any length and pay only for the seconds used.
