Discover Pika AI Pro, the premium plan for fast 1080p AI video creation. Get more credits, pro tools, and commercial use rights for social content and ads.
No editing experience needed. Just type, generate, and share.
Pika AI Pro (often called the Pika Pro plan) is the subscription tier built for serious creators, marketers, and small teams who need fast, HD AI video generation at scale without constantly worrying about running out of credits.
If you’re ready to move beyond the free/Standard tiers but don’t yet need fully “enterprise” pricing, this is the sweet spot.
Pika AI Pro is a paid subscription tier for Pika Labs / Pika.art, the idea-to-video platform that turns text, images, and audio into short, cinematic clips.
Compared to the free and Standard plans, the Pro plan focuses on:
Much higher monthly credits
Access to all core models and tools (Turbo + Pro tools, newest 2.x models)
Faster / priority generations (shorter queues)
Commercial usage rights and no watermarks on downloads
It’s designed for creators who are publishing regularly (e.g., several Reels, Shorts, or TikToks per week) and need predictable capacity.
Exact pricing can change, but as of late 2026 most trackers and Pika’s own pages agree on this structure:
According to Pika’s official pricing page and SaaS trackers:
| Plan | Typical Price (monthly, around) | Monthly Credits | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic / Free | $0 | ~80–150 credits | Testing, light use |
| Standard | ~$8/month | 700 credits | Regular hobby creators |
| Pro | ~$28/month | 2,300 credits | Serious creators / small teams |
| Fancy | ~$76/month | 6,000 credits | Agencies / power users |
Aggregators like SaaSworthy and software review sites consistently list Pika Pro at $28/month with ~2,300 credits, while Pika’s own page shows 2,300 credits for the Pro tier and higher pricing for its top “Fancy” tier; Pika may A/B test pricing and billing (monthly vs yearly), so always double-check the current pricing page.
On Pro, you get access to Pika’s latest and best models:
Pika 2.5 – top-tier text-to-video & image-to-video model (up to 1080p)
Pika 2.2 (Pikascenes) – 10-second clips with improved motion and scene control
All Turbo & Pro tool modes built on these models (see below)
The official pricing page notes that Standard, Pro, and Fancy share access to Pika 2.5, 2.2 (Pikascenes), Turbo & Pro tools, and all Pikaffects—the difference is mainly speed and credits.
On Pika Pro you can use the full stack:
Turbo tools
Pikascenes – text/image-to-video scenes
Pikadditions – add new objects/characters to existing video
Pikaswaps – swap people/things in your scene
Pikatwists (Turbo) – creative style and motion twists
Pro tools (higher-quality / 1080p)
Pikadditions (Pro)
Pikaswaps (Pro)
Selfie With Your Younger Self template
Pikatwists (Pro)
AI effects that melt, inflate, transform or otherwise warp video; available across plans, but Pro gives you the credits to use them at scale.
Hyper-real lip-sync / expression model that animates faces to audio, billed in credits per second of audio (3 credits/second, same rate on free and paid).
The Pro plan adds:
Faster generations (shorter queues than Standard)
No watermark on downloaded videos
Commercial use rights on generated content (all paid plans list “Commercial use” in the pricing table, and several guides highlight Pro as the tier explicitly designed for monetization).
Always read the latest Terms of Service to confirm commercial usage rules for your region and niche.
Pika’s pricing page notes you can:
Purchase extra credits on top of your subscription
Have paid add-on credits roll over month to month (subscription-included credits may not roll over, depending on plan)
This is ideal if you know you’ll have busy months and quiet months you can top up when needed and not lose those extras.
Pika uses a credit-per-clip system. The pricing page outlines credit costs for different tools (the numbers are the same across plans; what changes is how many credits you get monthly).
From Pika’s pricing grid:
Pikadditions / Pikaswaps
Turbo (720p): 10 credits (free & paid)
Pro (1080p): 20 credits
Pikatwists
Turbo (720p): 60 credits
Pro (1080p): 80 credits
Selfie With Your Younger Self (Pro model): 30 credits
For Pika 2.5 generations (5–10 seconds):
480p, 5s: 12 credits (free)
720p / 1080p, longer durations: 20–80 credits depending on resolution & length
720p / 1080p, 5–10s clips: 15–100 credits depending on quality and duration.
480p–1080p, up to 25 seconds: 12–200 credits per clip depending on length and resolution.
3 credits per second of audio, both free and paid.
With ~2,300 credits/month, here’s a rough sense of capacity (assuming typical settings):
Pro-quality 1080p Pikascenes (30–40 credits each)
→ ~60–75 shorter clips per month
Turbo Pikadditions / Pikaswaps (10 credits each)
→ up to ~230 edited clips per month
Pikaformance lip-sync (3 credits/second)
→ ~12 minutes of audio-driven face animation per month
Real world usage is usually a mix some cheap iterations, some expensive hero shots so many creators find Pika Pro enough for multiple posts per week across platforms.
Based on Pika’s own positioning and third-party reviews, Pro fits:
Content creators publishing 3–7 videos per week across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, etc.
Solo marketers / small businesses who need ad creatives, product shorts, and promo clips regularly.
Creative freelancers (video editors, motion designers, social media managers) who service multiple clients.
YouTube / Twitch creators needing B-roll, intros, transitions, and meme clips in volume.
If you rarely generate AI video, Standard is often enough; if you’re producing dozens or hundreds of clips a month for clients, agencies or campaigns, Fancy might make more sense.
Using Pika’s official pricing and feature grid:
Credits: 700 vs 2,300
Speed: Pro gets faster generations, which matters at high volume
Use case:
Standard → casual or part-time creators
Pro → consistent publishing schedules & client work
The per-video credit cost is identical; Pro simply gives you more shots and less waiting.
Credits: 2,300 vs 6,000
Speed: Fancy is described as having the fastest generations.
Use case:
Pro → serious individual creator / small team
Fancy → agencies, production studios, or big brands running many campaigns in parallel
If you’re not regularly hitting the credit ceiling on Pro, there’s no need to jump to Fancy.
High credit ceiling for a reasonable monthly price
Access to all major models and tools (2.5, 2.2, Turbo, Pro tools, Pikaffects, Pikaformance)
Commercial use and no watermark downloads built-in
Roll-over add-on credits to handle spikes in demand
You still need to budget credits complex clips (Pikaframes, 1080p Pikatwists) can be expensive.
Heavy experimentation (multiple variations per idea) can burn through credits faster than expected. Some creators on Reddit have complained about credit “burn” when constantly iterating.
Long-form production (dozens of 20–25s HD shots per project) may still be better suited to the Fancy tier or a hybrid workflow with other tools.
Use Turbo for drafts, Pro for finals
Sketch ideas in Turbo 720p (cheap), then upgrade the best shots to Pro 1080p.
Keep clips short & focused
Many social hooks work great at 5–7 seconds; shorter clips = fewer credits and fewer artifacts.
Batch your prompts
Write 5–10 prompt variations, generate them in one session, and pick winners. This reduces random tinkering.
Use Pikadditions / Pikaswaps for iteration
Instead of regenerating entirely new clips, swap objects or add elements to refine an almost-good shot.
Track your average credits per usable video
After a week, divide total credits spent by the number of clips you actually posted. That tells you if Pro is enough or if you should upgrade/downgrade.
