Our take
Pick Kling AI if motion designers and marketers who want a clip from a prompt and will buy credits. Pick Sora if researchers tracking the shutdown, not new buyers. Skip Kling AI if people who need to cut their own footage (Descript) or a local diffusion graph (ComfyUI). Skip Sora if people who need a buyable video model today (Runway, Kling AI).
