80 video credits per month, US$0; the free plan is called Basic and credits reset monthly. Three explicit caps: (1) resolution only up to 480p (official wording: Access to Pika 2.5 (480p only)), while 720p and 1080p require Standard or above; (2) image-to-video only, so text-to-video is not available; (3) rollover credit top-ups are not allowed. What the free plan does include: Pikascenes, Pikadditions, Pikaswaps, Pikatwists, Pikaffects, plus the two items listed on the plan card itself, watermark-free downloads and commercial use. How far 80 credits goes, from the official credit-cost table for free files: text-to-video and image-to-video 480p 5 seconds 12 credits, Pikascenes 480p 5 seconds 20 credits, Pikaffects 5 seconds 15 credits, Pikatwists 5 seconds 60 credits, which works out at about 6 five-second 480p clips, or a single Pikatwists run that almost empties the balance. The official site does not say what happens once the quota is used up. Note: third-party eesel.ai claims the free tier has watermarks and no commercial use, which directly contradicts the official plan card; the official site is taken as authoritative.

15 Velo minutes per month, with 1 seat, 1 voice clone and 1 avatar video per month. Minutes are consumed by generation, rendering, voiceover, translation, avatars and agent workflows. On features the free plan gets the full editor, prompt-to-video, document-to-video, screen-recording clean-up and basic support. Watermarks work two ways: sharing by link is watermark-free (official wording: Share videos without watermarks), but downloaded files carry a watermark by default (official wording: Watermarked downloads by default), and watermark-free downloads require an upgrade to Pro. The reset date, what happens when the quota is used up, and whether the free plan may be used commercially are all unpublished. (Read from usevelo.ai/pricing on 2026-08-09)
