About Kimi pricing
MOONSHOT UPDATE 2026-08-28: the 'New Membership Plans Coming Soon' banner is still live on kimi.com/membership/pricing ('Kimi and Kimi Code benefits will be separated. Existing subscribers are unaffected. You can still buy the current plan before launch.'), while the help-center pricing page (kimi.com/help/membership/membership-pricing) re-confirms all four current tiers and prices (unchanged: Moderato $19/$180, Allegretto $39/$372, Allegro $99/$948, Vivace $199/$1,908). Membership uses a SINGLE shared credit pool metered by token usage across agent tasks, Kimi Code, Kimi Claw, image gen AND K2.6 chat (chat is no longer unmetered); higher tiers get a proportionally larger pool. Kimi Code additionally has its own separate 5-hour/weekly rate limit that does not affect other features. Membership anchors on Kimi K3 ('K3 extra-long chat capacity, up to 1M tokens' on Allegro/Vivace); Kimi Code can also serve K2.7 Code. Kimi Claw cloud sandboxes drain ~0.6% of membership credits/day (4PM settlement) and published agent websites ~0.08%/day — delete/unpublish to stop. Extra Usage packs let you pay-as-you-go past the monthly credit refresh. Credits refresh monthly, don't roll over. Separate API pay-as-you-go on platform.kimi.ai. Referral exists (credit rewards) but no formal affiliate program.
