Kuaishou positions it on consistency rather than resolution: it has no 4K tier and no native audio, and element references are not supported when generating from start and end frames.

Commercial use — Not established

Output use is governed by Kling's Terms of API Paid Service (https://kling.ai/document-api/guides/protocols/paid-service); that document could not be retrieved for review, so commercial-use rights are recorded as unverified rather than assumed.

The licence notes recorded during research were read for a commercial-use position and did not state one. Read the licence before you rely on any of this. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and this site does not tell you a model is cleared for commercial use.
