Pricing FAQ
Is there a free plan or free trial?
+
No. Each Pika H3 Flex generation uses paid GPU time, so the generator is available on paid plans and credit packs only. The smallest option is a one-time 150-credit pack for $7.90.
How are credits charged?
+
Per second of output video: 480p = 2, 768p = 3, 1080p = 5, 2K = 6 and 4K = 12 credits per second. A 5-second 768p clip costs 15 credits. The exact cost is shown before you generate.
What happens to credits when a generation fails?
+
They are returned to your balance automatically — including content-safety blocks, provider errors and timeouts. You only pay for videos that finish.
Do subscription credits roll over?
+
Monthly plans grant a fresh batch of credits each billing month. Yearly plans grant the full year of credits up front. Credit packs are valid for 12 months from purchase and are used after subscription credits.
Can I cancel anytime?
+
Yes. Cancel from your account billing page and you keep access until the end of the current billing period. See the refund policy for details on refunds.
Can I use the videos commercially?
+
Yes. All paid plans and credit packs include commercial use of your outputs, subject to our Terms of Service. We do not add a watermark.
How does this compare with paying for the Pika API directly?
+
Pika’s developer API bills per output second from a prepaid USD balance and is aimed at developers who write their own integration. Here you get a ready studio, history, downloads and automatic refunds without writing code. See our Pika H3 Flex pricing guide for the full breakdown.
