Last verified 2026-09-09. Prices read directly from pika.art/pricing on 2026-06-14. Page defaults to annual billing with 'Yearly -20% off' toggle; month-to-month prices are not explicitly shown. monthlyUsd records the annual-equivalent monthly rate. Estimated month-to-month rates (20% higher) noted in plan notes. No enterprise or contact-sales tier was shown on the page. CORRECTION (verifier 2026-06-14): the three paid tiers were originally mislabeled Basic/Standard/Pro; Pika's actual paid tiers at these prices/credits are named Standard/Pro/Fancy (the real 'Basic' is the free 80-credit tier). Names corrected and cross-checked against magichour.ai/blog/pika-labs-pricing and the live pika.art/pricing extraction; prices ($8/$28/$76 annual) and credits (700/2,300/6,000) were already correct. Re-verified 2026-09-02 against the live pricing page; published figures unchanged. Cross-checked against magichour.ai.

Pika currently holds a silver deskmark here — Rank 4 of 7 · AI Video Generators. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm and money never touches it.
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Pika moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
