The stack's most practical pairing, not a rivalry. Seedance 2.0 is the volume default: clean product-forward output at ~$2.44 per 8-second clip, fast, reliable on structured briefs. Kling 3.0 is the fidelity tier: physically plausible motion, liquids and fabric, reflective surfaces, image-to-video that preserves detail, plus motion copy. The working pattern is sequential — explore ten angles on Seedance, then re-render the winner on Kling when the product's physicality is the pitch.
