Read before you budget
- Fancy is a published range. Estimates that fit in 8,550 credits use the $95 tier. Estimates above that are left uncovered instead of guessing a price inside $95–$880.
- Credit-pack dollar amounts on the pricing page were a slider, not a stable unit price, so pack overage is not calculated.
- There is no verified video rate above the Seedance 2.5 example, so the high preset does not invent one.
Questions this page answers
How much is Pika per month?
Pika's pricing page lists Free $0, Starter $10, Creator $35, and Fancy from $95 up to $880 per month. Annual billing is 20% less: $8, $28, and $76–$704. Monthly credits are 0, 900, 3,150, and 8,550 and up.
How many Pika credits is a 5-second video?
Pika's own examples say a 5-second Wan 3.0 video at 720p is 33 credits, and a 5-second Seedance 2.5 video at 720p is 122 credits. Other durations are not itemized, so a per-second estimate on this site divides those 5-second prices by 5.
Does Pika include a commercial license?
The plan table says the commercial license starts on Creator and Fancy. Free and Starter do not include it. That license is separate from the credit math.
