What Pika costs, in plain terms
Pika is priced by credits. Each paid plan is a monthly subscription that includes a set number of credits, and the plans also differ in how many generations can run in parallel. Starter is 900 credits a month, Creator is 3,150 and Fancy starts at 8,550 credits and up. Enterprise has custom credits and custom pricing. All listed plans include all models and no watermark.
The Free plan costs $0 but has no monthly credits, so you can only generate by buying credit packs. The lowest paid tier, Starter, is $10/month (about $8/month with annual billing, 20% off) for 900 credits. A commercial license starts at Creator, $35/month (about $28/month annual).
