Pika is a freemium, multi-modal AI media generation platform exposing video, image, and audio creation through a unified product surface. Under the hood it routes requests across a curated roster of model providers — including Pika's own models alongside Seedance, MiniMax, Wan, Google (Omni Flash, Gemini), OpenAI (GPT Image), Grok, ElevenLabs, Nano Banana, and Seedream — giving developers access to best-in-class generation capabilities without managing individual provider integrations. Pika surfaces an API and an MCP integration for programmatic access, making it composable within existing creative pipelines or agent workflows. Dedicated creative apps (Video Studio, Color Grade, Character Studio, Product Shot, and others) are available as higher-level abstractions on top of the core generation engine. Pricing is credit-based: a free tier exists (credit packs only), with paid plans starting at $10/mo (900 credits) scaling to enterprise custom pricing. API access is available at competitive per-credit rates, and no watermarks are applied on any plan.
