"Lowest monthly price" is the cheapest confirmed monthly plan for that tool. It does not mean that plan includes this model — premium models are often limited to pricier plans. Each tool's official pricing page is the authority.

Cheapest place to buy it at your volume
200 seconds of generation a month: 20 videos × 5 seconds each × 2 attempts on average. At least 720p, no audio needed. Change usage ↗
One line per channel: an API is a straight line; a subscription is the cheapest plan that covers the month, so it climbs in steps and stops past the largest plan (extra credit packs are not counted).

How much Wan 3.0 video the credits buy
| Resolution | Audio | Billing | Credits per second | Starter 900 credits | Creator 3,150 credits | Fancy 8,550 credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 720p | Not specified | Per 5s clip 33 credits | 6.6 | 136 s ≈27 clips of 5s | 477 s ≈95 clips of 5s | 1295 s ≈259 clips of 5s |
Rates come from Pika's official pricing page; seconds are the plan's credits divided by the rate. That is the ceiling if you do nothing else — credits also go to images, voice, upscaling and more, so the real total is lower. Where a model has several rows, the vendor prices clip lengths separately — the per-second rates really differ; it is not a typo. Models without an exact official rate we could find are left out; we don't estimate for them.
How the status is checked
Whether a model still runs is checked separately from prices: prices change monthly, but a model can disappear between two price syncs, quietly making every page that mentions it wrong. So each model record has its own confirmation date and review deadline; overdue records are flagged, never assumed to still be running.
Last confirmed on 2026-09-18; due to be rechecked by 2026-10-18.
