Veo 3.1 vs Kling v3: run both instead.
The two strongest video models of 2026 are good at different jobs: Veo 3.1 owns the cinema finish, Kling v3 owns multi-shot direction. FORGR carries both on every paid plan, with published per-generation prices and one character consistent across the pair.

Figures verified July 2026 against the sources listed below.
Veo 3.1 is the finishing model. It renders 4, 6, or 8 second clips at 720p, 1080p, or 4K with native audio, takes reference images plus start and last frames, and produces the most cinematic single shots in the rack. In FORGR, an 8 second clip costs 440 credits at 720p, 590 at 1080p, and 740 at 4K, with a faster Veo 3.1 Fast variant from 120 credits.
Kling v3 is the directing model. A single render can carry 1 to 6 sub-shots, each with its own prompt and a duration of 1 to 15 seconds, which makes it the natural choice for cut-heavy sequences and scene coverage. It is priced per second in FORGR: 30 credits in standard mode, 44 with audio, and up to 62 per second in pro mode with audio.
The honest answer to "which one" is "both, per shot". Most narrative projects storyboard in stills, cover scenes with Kling v3 multi-shot, and finish hero moments with Veo 3.1 in 4K. In FORGR both models sit on every paid plan from $9.99 a month, on one credit wallet that never expires, with the same character carried across the two by the Character Studio.

Which one for which shot
A working rule of thumb from narrative projects:
- +Hero shots, dialogue moments, and anything the audience will pause on: Veo 3.1, at 1080p or 4K.
- +Scene coverage, montages, and cut-heavy sequences: Kling v3 multi-shot, directing up to 6 sub-shots in one render.
- +Fast, cheap iteration before committing credits: Veo 3.1 Fast from 120 credits, or Seedance 1.5 Pro from 8 credits per second.
- +Long single takes above 8 seconds: Kling v3, since a sub-shot runs up to 15 seconds.
