Sora 2 Pro vs Kling V3 Pro, 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. Sora 2 Pro was the calmest take: the boat drifts and the camera barely moves. Kling V3 Pro made a real sideways dolly, with a pillar passing close to the lens. In the text test Sora tilted up with the kite; Kling held its camera mostly still.

Sora 2 Pro: 5 credits a second (~$2.00) Kling V3 Pro: 1.68 credits a second (~$0.67) One credit balance for both
