What one output really costs on each Pika plan if you use all its credits. Effective price = plan price ÷ credits included × credits per output (method).
Top-up packs are 60 credits per $1 (1,500 credits for $25 up to 66,000 for $1,000) and expire 365 days after purchase; plan credits do not roll over. Pika 2.5 credit cost from the Pika 2.5 app page (https://pika.art/apps/pika-2-5), whose default 720p 5 s setting shows "about 20 credits"; the pricing page does not list Pika 2.5.
Cost per output on Starter, using all included credits.
Entry tier of Fancy; larger Fancy tiers scale up to $880/month ($704/month annual) with more credits. Top-ups at 60 credits per $1. Pika 2.5 credit cost from https://pika.art/apps/pika-2-5 (about 20 credits per 5 s 720p clip).

Effective prices assume you use every included credit each month. Unused credits make each output more expensive; the calculators price a specific job including top-ups.
