pika.art

Pika generates short video from a text prompt or a still image, with a set of effects that inflate, crush or otherwise deform whatever you feed it. Output is measured in seconds, so the honest use is a social post or a title card rather than a scene. A free tier exists and credits are what runs out.
Free gets you started on credits. The paid tiers are $8, $28 and $76 a month, all read with yearly billing selected, so the monthly rate is not stated on the page and is not quoted here. What separates the tiers is credit volume rather than capability.
Short social video where the point is the effect: a title card, a transition, a visual gag. Anybody who needs a continuous scene, consistent characters or dialogue should look at the longer-form generators instead.
Pika is the one to reach for when you want something to happen to an object, and the effects library is genuinely better than prompting for the same result elsewhere. For a coherent shot lasting more than a few seconds, Runway or Luma will disappoint you less.
