Why credits alone do not compare

Each service charges a different number of credits per video by model, length and resolution, so 660 credits at Kling do not mean more videos than 625 at Runway. The fair comparison is the price of one finished video you need: try the cheapest plan for a month, count the videos, then move to yearly billing.
