Credits explained
Plan credits refresh each billing period and do not roll over. Every paid plan gives 90 credits per $1 on monthly billing and 112.5 per $1 on annual billing, so a plan credit costs $0.00889 annual ($0.0111 monthly). Official pricing page (re-verified Nov 1, 2026): Seedance 2.5 720p 5s = 122 credits and Wan 3.0 720p 5s = 33 credits in the “What your monthly credits make” table; the page’s plan-finder data on the same page adds Kling 3.0 720p 5s = 34 credits and Veo 3.1 Fast 720p 8s = 80 credits. Only these 720p clip prices are published — other resolutions, lengths and models (Pika 2.5, Kling 4.0, MiniMax H3, Gemini Omni, Seedance 2.0) show their credit quote in the app: check official pricing.
Credit packs (top-ups): 60 credits per $1 on every plan, including Free — 1,500 credits for $25, 3,000 for $50, 6,000 for $100, 12,000 for $200, 30,000 for $500 and 66,000 for $1,000 (+10%). That is $0.0167 per credit, almost twice the annual plan credit. Top-up credits carry over and expire 365 days after purchase, and work only in Pika Create (pika.art) and Pika MCP — not the API, iOS app or old.pika.art.
| Model / mode | Rate | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wan 3.0 · 720p | 6.6 credits/sec | Verified rate (Nov 1, 2026) | 33 credits / 5s at 720p (Visible table); Native audio available (can be set to No audio); quote doesn’t state the audio setting |
| Kling 3.0 · 720p | 6.8 credits/sec | Verified rate (Nov 1, 2026) | 34 credits / 5s at 720p (Plan-finder data); Optional audio switch; quote doesn’t state the audio setting |
| Veo 3.1 Fast · 720p | 10 credits/sec | Verified rate (Nov 1, 2026) | 80 credits / 8s at 720p (Plan-finder data); Audio on by default (off costs less); quote doesn’t state the audio setting |
| Seedance 2.5 · 720p | 24.4 credits/sec | Verified rate (Nov 1, 2026) | 122 credits / 5s at 720p (Visible table); Audio generated in the same pass |

Cost per finished video
Per try and per usable clip with 2 retries (3 attempts), at the Starter/Creator annual plan credit ($0.00889). Full 10s–60s tables, pack-rate prices and ranks: Pika cost.
| Model | 5s try | 30s try | 30s usable | 60s try | 60s usable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wan 3.0 · 720p | $0.29 | $1.76 | $5.28 | $3.52 | $10.56 |
| Kling 3.0 · 720p | $0.30 | $1.81 | $5.44 | $3.63 | $10.88 |
| Veo 3.1 Fast · 720p | $0.44 | $2.67 | $8.00 | $5.33 | $16.00 |
| Seedance 2.5 · 720p | $1.08 | $6.51 | $19.52 | $13.01 | $39.04 |
Retries multiply this: with 2 retries (3 attempts total) a 30s video costs 3× the single-try price. Pika lists only 5s (8s for Veo) 720p prices, so longer videos are costed linearly at the same per-second rate. On credit packs ($0.0167/credit) every figure is 1.875× higher. Use the calculator with your real retry count.
Pika vs Runway: the same Wan 3.0 model at 720p is $1.76 per 30s try on Pika vs $5.76 inside Runway (10 credits/sec on Runway Standard annual credits), and Runway Gen-4.5 is $6.91. Full tables, plan limits and expiry rules: Runway vs Pika cost per video.
Watermark & commercial use
Watermark: Official pricing table: No watermark = Yes for Free, Starter, Creator and Fancy (re-verified Nov 1, 2026).
Commercial: Official pricing table (re-verified Nov 1, 2026): Commercial license = No on Free; Yes on Starter, Creator & Fancy. Starter gained the commercial license in October 2026 — it was No when we checked on Oct 19.
Plan traps to know
- Free has NO commercial license — Starter ($8/mo annual) and up include one (changed Oct 2026; re-verified Nov 1, 2026).
- Plan credits do not carry over; they refresh every month.
- Top-up credits work only in Pika Create and Pika MCP — not the API, iOS app or old.pika.art (pricing page note, re-verified Nov 1, 2026).
- Credit packs cost $0.0167/credit (60 per $1) — almost 2× the annual plan credit — but last 365 days.
- Only 720p prices are published; 1080p, 4K, longer clips and audio on/off change the quote — check the in-app quote before generating.
- Kling 3.0’s own Pika app page now opens Kling 4.0 (Kling 3.0 stays selectable in the Model row); Kling 4.0 has no published credit price.

Verified from pika.art/pricing — last checked Nov 1, 2026 (plans, model credits incl. the page’s plan-finder data, credit packs, licence and watermark rows), plus Pika’s model pages (Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0, Kling 4.0 / 3.0, Veo 3.1). If a figure says “check official pricing”, it could not be verified from an official public page that day and we did not guess it.
