Pika
Pika is a creative platform for generating and editing video, images, audio, speech, sound effects, music, and soundtracks. Video options include text-to-video and image-to-video generation, extension, color grading, and soundtrack tools. Video Studio can produce clips up to 30 seconds long, with output resolution up to 4K. Other tools include image editing, character and image studios, and product shots. Pika offers access through web and iOS, as well as API access. Its free plan includes all models, two video generations, and two image and audio generations in parallel, with no watermark. The free plan has no monthly credits and is limited to credit packs; it excludes commercial licensing, priority queue, and early access to new models. Paid plans start at $8 per month with annual billing; monthly Starter is $10 per month. Yearly billing saves 20% compared with monthly pricing.
