Paid access
Compare plans Choose the billing option that fits your work
No signup or daily credits are granted. Chat requires a paid plan or credit pack: 100 credits per text response and 150 with an image.
Why choose annual
Commit only when K3 Kimi is already part of the workflow
Monthly plans protect flexibility. Annual plans reward consistent use. Credit packs serve the middle ground without a renewal.
One allowance for the full term
Annual credits remain available during the annual term, so heavier and lighter months can balance each other.
No misleading unlimited promise
Every option shows its exact credits and response cost, making capacity and billing expectations easy to verify.
