Is Higgsfield actually cheaper than using Kling directly, or am I missing something?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking into generating a large amount of video content and I’m trying to understand the real cost difference between using Higgsfield and using Kling directly.

Here’s my rough calculation:

Higgsfield:

Annual plan: $1,430/year
Credits: 26,000 credits/month
Total yearly credits: 312,000 credits
If Kling generation costs around 6 credits per second, then:
312,000 / 6 = 52,000 seconds of video per year
$1,430 / 52,000 = about $0.0275 per second

Kling direct:

Package: $3,780 for 30,000 credits
Generation cost: roughly 1 credit per second
So:
30,000 seconds of video
$3,780 / 30,000 = about $0.126 per second

Based on this, Higgsfield looks around 4.5x cheaper than using Kling directly.

But I’m not fully confident in this calculation. Am I understanding the Higgsfield credit system correctly? Is it really 6 credits per second for Kling, or is it 6 credits per clip/generation? Are there any hidden limitations, quality differences, concurrency limits, commercial usage restrictions, failed generation costs, or other caveats I should know about?

tldr: for high-volume video generation, is Higgsfield cheaper than using Kling directly, or is there a catch?
