Operator guidance
Choose Kling 1.6 when budget is a primary constraint and Kling 2.x quality is not required. Note that native API pricing is estimated (platform is geo-restricted). Audio is not natively supported in this generation.
Use cases
- Cost-sensitive T2V and I2V workflows where prior-gen quality is acceptable
- Comparison baseline for evaluating Kling generation progression
Limitations
- Prior-generation model; weaker motion and quality than Kling 2.x
- Audio generation not available
- Native API pricing not publicly accessible (geo-restricted)
- 720p maximum resolution
