Price at the same settings
What to compare visually
For a fair A/B test, use the same scene and, where both modes allow it, the same first frame. Inspect motion continuity, character and object consistency, physics and contacts, camera behavior, temporal deformation, in-clip cuts and audio synchronization.
What to inspect with Kling 4.0 Flash
A lighter Kling 4.0: clips of 3–20 seconds in 720p from text and references, or from a start frame.
Text and references: a prompt up to 8000 characters, up to 7 photos and up to 5 videos totaling up to 20 seconds; the Video sound switch keeps the sound of reference videos.
Start frame: one optional photo; without it choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 21:9, with it the format follows the photo.
Flash gives 720p and up to 20 seconds only; choose Kling 4.0 for 1080p and 30 seconds.
Start frame mode accepts no video: videos belong to references mode only.
What to inspect with HeyGen Video
Creates videos with sound from a text prompt or a single source image.
Text: the result is created from a written description.
Every available setting is shown in the Studio form before launch, and the price follows them.
The result length is 5 to 15 seconds.
At most 1 photo as input.
How to run a fair comparison
Fix the scene, the first frame (if both models accept one), the duration and the resolution.
Judge motion, not stills: faces, hands and objects should hold across the whole clip and at cuts.
If sound matters, listen to it separately: dialogue, effects and lip sync differ between models.
Price a finished clip, not a second: the per-second rate times your real duration, rounded up once.
Sources
Prices, availability and specifications come from the Mixer AI catalog. This is not an independent test: try both models on the same task before choosing.
