our take

Choose Kling for longer clips and a single model that edits as well as generates. Choose Seedance when your starting point is a set of references, such as a character image, a camera move and a track of music.

Both tools generate video with sound from text, images and references. The difference is how much you can feed in: Seedance is built around mixing many references; Kling emphasises length and unified editing.

How to test

Use the same reference image in each, ask for the same camera move, and compare how faithfully the character and motion carry over. Then try one clip with a line of dialogue.
