Kling V3 Pro vs MiniMax H3 2K, on one prompt.

We gave both models the same photo and the same prompt. Below are both clips, what each one did, what each cost, and the specs side by side. Both moved, in different ways: Kling V3 Pro with a sideways dolly past the pillars, MiniMax H3 by bringing the boat toward the lens through choppier water. In the text test MiniMax tilted up with a large kite; Kling held a small kite with a mostly still camera.

Kling V3 Pro: 1.68 credits a second (~$0.67) MiniMax H3 2K: 1.3 credits a second (~$0.52) One credit balance for both
