Credit rules
Google Flow
Monthly Flow credits do not roll over. Veo 3.1 Fast and Lite cost half as many credits on the Ultra plans, and the table below works each plan out separately.
Pika
Each plan states its monthly credits, which video and image generation both draw on; check rollover and expiry terms before you pay.
Credits are not a shared currency: one Google Flow credit and one Pika credit buy different things, so the counts cannot be compared directly.
Which models it offers
Google Flow
Pika
From each tool's own official pages (pricing or model pages). Which models a plan includes changes between versions; each model page gives its source and when it was last confirmed.
