Kling 4.0
AI video generator for clips with camera moves and, new in version 4.0, audio generated and synced to the clip (not just silent motion). Free daily credits (watermarked) and paid plans.
Our take
Kling moved its flagship video model to 4.0, now generating audio synced to each clip instead of silent motion only (confirmed on klingai.com's own homepage, Oct 2026). Independent blind-vote rankings still call it the most video for the money against Veo and Runway. The catch: no public price list, and the usual privacy/copyright caveats for business use.
Also look at Google Veo 3.1, Runway and Seedance 2.0.
