Kling 3.0 from Kuaishou and Wan 3.0 from Alibaba take the same request format on Makernice, but a request written for one often fails on the other. Kling 3.0 encodes the resolution in its three model ids and always adds audio; Wan 3.0 uses a resolution field, accepts reference images and can return a silent clip. This guide lists the fields to change in each direction, along with catalog limits and prices. It does not compare how the footage looks. ## How do the Kling 3.0 variants line up against Wan 3.0? Kling 3.0 splits its tiers into three model ids: Kling 3.0 Standard at 720p, Kling 3.0 Pro at 1080p and Kling 3.0 4K at 4k. Wan 3.0 is one model id with a resolution field and reference-to-video. The table compares every catalog field. | Spec | Kling 3.0 Standard | Kling 3.0 Pro | Kling 3.0 4K | Wan 3.0 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Modes | t2v, i2v, flf | t2v, i2v, flf | t2v | t2v, i2v, flf, r2v | | Duration | 3 to 15 s, default 5 | 3 to 15 s, default 5 | 3 to 15 s, default 5 | 2 to 30 s, default 5 | | resolution field | Not accepted | Not accepted | Not accepted | 480p, 720p, 1080p | | Default tier | Fixed at 720p | Fixed at 1080p | Fixed at 4k | 720p by default | | Text-to-video ratios | 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 | 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 | 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 | adaptive, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 | | Image-to-video ratios | No aspect\_ratio field | No aspect\_ratio field | No i2v | No aspect\_ratio field | | Reference images | No r2v | No r2v | No r2v | Up to 10 (r2v) | | Prompt limit | 2,500 characters | 2,500 characters | 2,500 characters | 4,000 characters | | Audio | Always on, no switch | Always on, no switch | Always on, no switch | On by default, generate\_audio can turn it off | Model pages: [Kling 3.0 Standard](https://makernice.com/models/kling-3-0-standard/), [Kling 3.0 Pro](https://makernice.com/models/kling-3-0-pro/), [Kling 3.0 4K](https://makernice.com/models/kling-3-0-4k/) and [Wan 3.0](https://makernice.com/models/wan-3-0/). ## What breaks when you move a Kling 3.0 request to Wan 3.0? Moving a Kling 3.0 request to Wan 3.0 mostly means replacing the model id with wan-3.0 and adding a resolution value. Four details decide whether the request carries over: - The model id: kling-3.0-standard maps to wan-3.0 with resolution 720p, and kling-3.0-pro maps to wan-3.0 with resolution 1080p. Kling 3.0 4K has no Wan 3.0 counterpart, since Wan stops at 1080p. - Leaving resolution out on Wan 3.0 gives 720p, so a former Pro request without the field drops a tier. - Text-to-video ratios 9:16, 16:9 and 1:1 all exist on Wan 3.0, so those requests carry over unchanged. - Durations from 3 to 15 carry over. Audio stays on unless you add generate\_audio set to false. ## What changes when you move a Wan 3.0 request to Kling 3.0? Moving a Wan 3.0 request to Kling 3.0 removes more fields than it adds. Five details need a change: - Remove resolution and pick the variant instead; Kling 3.0 answers a resolution field with an error saying the model has a fixed resolution. - Remove generate\_audio, because every Kling 3.0 clip has sound. - Reference-to-video requests have no Kling 3.0 destination; Kling 4.0 takes up to 10 references. - Text-to-video ratios adaptive, 4:3 and 3:4 are rejected; use 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1. - Durations of 2 seconds or above 15 are rejected, and prompts must fit in 2,500 characters. ## Which makes shorter and longer clips, Kling 3.0 or Wan 3.0? Wan 3.0 covers both ends: 2 seconds at the short end and 30 at the long end. Kling 3.0 Standard, Pro and 4K each accept 3 to 15 seconds. Both default to 5 seconds when duration is omitted. ## Can Kling 3.0 or Wan 3.0 skip the soundtrack? Wan 3.0 can and Kling 3.0 cannot. Wan 3.0 adds audio by default and leaves it out when generate\_audio is false. All three Kling 3.0 variants return audio on every request, with no field to change that. ## How much do Kling 3.0 and Wan 3.0 cost per tier? On Makernice, Kling 3.0 Standard is $0.1209 per second and Wan 3.0 is $0.0789 per second at 720p, on price list v15 (November 12, 2026). The per-second rate is shared by every mode of a tier. The 15 s column is the longest clip Kling 3.0 accepts; Wan 3.0 runs to 30 s at the same per-second rate. | Model | Tier | Per second | 5 s | 15 s | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Wan 3.0 | 480p | $0.0394 | $0.20 | $0.59 | | Kling 3.0 Standard | 720p | $0.1209 | $0.60 | $1.81 | | Wan 3.0 | 720p | $0.0789 | $0.39 | $1.18 | | Kling 3.0 Pro | 1080p | $0.1612 | $0.81 | $2.42 | | Wan 3.0 | 1080p | $0.1578 | $0.79 | $2.37 | | Kling 3.0 4K | 4k | $0.5142 | $2.57 | $7.71 | Clip price = per-second price × seconds, rounded to the cent; the quote shows the exact amount. [Kling 3.0 Pro vs Standard vs 4K](https://makernice.com/blog/kling-3-0-pro-vs-standard/) explains the three Kling tiers in more depth. ## Which should I choose, Kling 3.0 or Wan 3.0? Let the request decide, because no side-by-side quality test of the two is published here. Kling 3.0 fits text-to-video at 4k (through Kling 3.0 4K) or a request that already uses Kling model ids. Wan 3.0 fits clips over 15 seconds or as short as 2 seconds, a 480p draft tier, silent output and reference images. ## Frequently asked questions #### Does Wan 3.0 have a 4K tier like Kling 3.0 4K? No. Wan 3.0 offers 480p, 720p and 1080p. Kling 3.0 4K is a text-to-video model fixed at 4k. #### Does Kling 3.0 or Wan 3.0 support reference-to-video? Wan 3.0, with up to 10 reference images. None of the Kling 3.0 variants supports it. #### Will a Kling 3.0 prompt work on Wan 3.0 unchanged? On length, yes: anything within Kling 3.0's 2,500 character limit also fits Wan 3.0's 4,000. Change the model id, and add resolution 1080p if the request came from Kling 3.0 Pro. #### Which Wan 3.0 resolution matches each Kling 3.0 variant? 720p matches Kling 3.0 Standard and 1080p matches Kling 3.0 Pro. Nothing on Wan 3.0 matches Kling 3.0 4K. ## Models in this post Video ### Kling 3.0 Standard \-4% Kling 3.0 with audio at the 720p tier — the budget pick for social clips that need sound.
