03

Which model should you choose for video with audio?

  • Seedance can generate ambience, short dialogue and sound effects with the video.
  • Kling has no audio toggle in the current studio.
  • Exact branded voice, licensed music and precise lip-sync still require review or post-production.
04

Seedance supports longer clips and higher resolution: up to 30 seconds and 1080p. Kling is limited to 15 seconds at 720p, which makes it better suited to short concepts and fast creative tests.

  • Seedance also supports 4:3, 3:4, 21:9 and adaptive output.
  • Kling supports the three most common social ratios.
  • Both accept prompt-based text-to-video and image-to-video.

Eight seconds of Seedance at 1080p costs 35 credits.

Fifteen seconds of Kling costs 34 credits.

06

When is Seedance 2.5 the better choice?

Seedance is the better fit when the final clip needs native audio, 1080p, more than 15 seconds or a cinematic landscape ratio. It is also the practical choice for image-to-video where sound is part of the final output.

  • A 9:16 clip with ambient sound or a short spoken hook.
  • A 21:9 cinematic establishing shot.
  • A 30-second product or story sequence.
  • A final render that must reach 1080p.
07

When is Kling 3.0 Turbo the better choice instead?

Kling is the better choice for silent 720p tests, quick motion studies and budgets that benefit from a lower per-second cost. Use it to validate a concept before spending more credits on a Seedance final.

  • A four-second product or social hook that does not need audio.
  • Multiple rapid prompt and camera tests.
  • A final 720p clip with music added in post.
  • A team optimizing for the number of generations per month.
08

Which Everygen model should you choose?

Start with Kling for short silent drafts, then move the winning concept to Seedance when you need audio, more than 15 seconds or 1080p. For a one-step final with sound, begin with Seedance.

Both models run from the same Everygen studio and use the same account credits.
