Kling 2.1 API prices
Every tier we sell, next to the model maker's official price.
| Tier | Opennan | Official |
|---|---|---|
| 720p, Standard | $0.0325/s$0.1625 for 5 s | No official price |
| 1080p, Standard | $0.065/s$0.325 for 5 s | No official price |
The maker doesn't sell this exact model on its own API (open weights, or retired there), so there is no official price to compare.

Add Opennan to your AI app
One install gives your AI every Opennan tool: video, images, chat, voice, music, sound effects, 3D, captions and dubbing. Pick your app and follow the steps.
https:/Works in the Codex CLI, the Codex app and the Codex IDE extension: they share ~/.codex/config.toml. If the app or IDE does not see OPENNAN_KEY, use the config.toml option with your key in it. Codex asks before each tool call: approve it to go on.
Get an API key
Create a key in the console. It starts with sk- and uses the same balance as the website.
