Pika

Pika is an AI video creation platform with a free tier and paid plans starting at $8/month (billed annually). It generates videos from text prompts and images, applies surreal effects like squish and melt, and lets users jump on viral trends with just a selfie. The free plan offers 480p output and image-to-video only, with 80 monthly credits. Paid plans unlock higher resolutions, no-watermark downloads, and more advanced features like Pikascenes and Pikatwists. A unique Pika Agent allows conversational collaboration, while Pika MCP enables integration with other AI agents. The tool also provides real-time effects (Pikaffects) and automated workflows. Designed for solopreneurs, content creators, and marketers, it's ideal for social media videos, ad creatives, and quick prototyping. With a focus on speed and entertainment, Pika turns ideas into engaging clips without technical expertise.
