Frequently asked questions about Pika
How do I cancel?
Cancel any time from the Subscription page. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, then you move to the Free plan. Payments are non-refundable, so there is no refund for the rest of the period.
Do unused credits roll over?
Plan credits refresh each billing period and do not roll over. Credits you buy as top-ups carry over and expire 365 days after purchase.
Can I buy credits without changing plans?
Yes. Top up from Credits on any plan, including Free. A top-up is a one-off purchase and does not start a subscription.
What happens when I change plans?
An upgrade applies immediately. A downgrade is scheduled for the start of your next billing period, and you can undo it until then.
Can I use the content I made in Pika for commercial purposes?
Yes, if you have a Pro or Fancy subscription. Whatever you create using Pika can be used commercially or non-commercially. Subscribers on Basic or Standard plans do not have this right.
Is Pika free?
Pika offers a free plan with optional paid upgrades. See the pricing section for what's included in each tier.
