Yearly per-month rates shown at −20% off, sourced from pika.art/pricing (July 2026). Monthly and weekly figures are indicative equivalents - confirm exact rates and regional VAT at checkout. Plans can be upgraded, switched, or cancelled anytime.
Pika AI credits are the currency behind every plan: each generation spends Pika video credits based on the model, resolution, and clip length. Credits refresh monthly with your subscription, and paid plans can buy extra roll-over credit packs for big projects.
| Generation type | Details | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Pika 2.5 - 5s clip | 480p resolution | 12 credits |
| Pika 2.5 - 5s clip | 720p resolution | 20 credits |
| Pika 2.5 - 5s clip | 1080p full HD | 40 credits |
| Pika 2.5 - 10s clip | Any resolution - double the 5s cost | 24–80 credits |
| Pikaffects | Melt, inflate, explode, crumble & more | 15–18 credits |
| Pikatwists | AI video transformations | 60–80 credits |
| Pikaformance | Talking / singing photos, per second of audio | 3 credits / sec |
Quick math: Basic's 80 free credits ≈ six 5s clips at 480p per month. Pro's 2,300 credits ≈ fifty-seven 1080p clips or nearly two hundred 480p tests - plenty for daily posting.
Yes - Pika AI free access is real. The Pika Basic plan costs $0 forever with 80 monthly credits and no card required. It doubles as the Pika AI free trial: enough to test text-to-video, image-to-video, and the core tools at 480p before deciding whether a paid Pika AI subscription is worth it for you.
Pika AI no watermark exports are a Pika Pro plan and Pika Fancy plan perk. Basic and Standard downloads carry the Pika mark. Skip third-party "watermark removers" - they're risky and violate the Terms of Service. The legitimate route is upgrading to Pro ($28/mo billed yearly).
Pika AI commercial use rights - client videos, ads, monetized channels - come with Pro and Fancy only. The Pika Standard plan is for personal projects despite being paid. If you're billing clients for AI video, Pro is the minimum tier to budget for.
Every tier offers a Pika AI yearly plan (about 20% cheaper per month), a Pika AI monthly plan for flexibility, and a weekly option for short sprints. Yearly Pro works out to $28/mo versus roughly $35 month-to-month - the yearly saving pays for two extra months of credits.
Basic: trying Pika and casual memes. Standard ($8/mo yearly): regular hobby creation with all effects at full resolution. Pro ($28/mo): daily posting, watermark-free, commercial work - the best value for most creators. Fancy ($76/mo): studios and power users burning 6,000 credits a month.
The Pika AI cost stays flexible: upgrade or downgrade between plans anytime, and paid tiers can purchase extra roll-over credit packs when a project needs more. Cancel whenever - you keep access until the end of the paid period, and your videos remain in your account.
80 free credits are waiting - generate your first AI videos today, no card required, and pick a paid plan only when you need more speed, resolution, or commercial rights.
