The verdict

Kling AI wins, 8.9 to 8.0

Luma AI's own Ray3.2 outputs up to 1080p and reaches 4K through Kling Omni and Kling 3.0, which it offers inside its app. Kling AI's VIDEO 3.0 generates 4K itself, and Kling offers only its own models. A working month of 20 ten-second clips costs $90 on Luma AI's Pro plan against $32.56 on Kling AI's Pro plan.

Pick Kling AI if you want 4K from the tool's own model for far less.

Pick Luma AI if you want Kling, Seedance, Veo and other companies' models in one account.
