Pika plans and prices

What you get

Prices at a glance1

Monthly billing, USD.

Tip: annual billing is often cheaper.

Tip: subscribe on the website, not in the app

Buying through the iPhone or iPad app often costs more because of Apple's App Store fees. Sign up on the provider's own site (like claude.ai or chatgpt.com) and you can still use the app with the same account. How to switch and what to know · Compare app and website prices.
