Pika prices three resolutions and no shape

The pricing page publishes 480p, 720p and 1080p, each carrying its own credit cost. The same page prices duration as a step and says nothing at all about output shape, which is the ordinary shape of a rate card rather than an omission peculiar to this vendor. As of 2026-09-12.

Inclusion rule. Columns this register reads, against what the pricing page prints for each. A figure from a help article is not merged into a row read from the rate card. Order. The two columns the page fills, then the one it does not.

1A ladder of three, and a floor that clears every published minimum

480p at the bottom sits above the smallest output in the register and clears the vertical, horizontal and square pixel floors the one surface that publishes them states. So the cheapest rung here is deliverable, and the tier decision is about appearance rather than acceptance.

That makes the ladder useful in the ordinary way: iterate at 480p, deliver at 1080p, and pay the difference once. It is the same shape of ladder three other rows publish, and the register's interest in it is the pairing with the priced duration steps beside it.

2Two priced axes on one page is unusual

Most rate cards in this register price one thing. This page prices resolution and duration, so a request's cost is the product of two choices and both are visible before it is made. A ten second 1080p piece and a five second 480p piece are different line items, not different qualities of the same one.

The practical value is estimating a campaign rather than a clip. Forty variants at five seconds and one master at the top of both ladders can be costed from this page alone, which is more than the other priced pages here allow.

3The hollow shape cell is what the page cannot settle

Masthead is stated by its platform as widescreen or sixteen by nine. Nothing on this page says whether that shape is available, so the register leaves it not stated and the check cannot be completed from the page the rest of the row was read from.

It is very likely that the shape exists. Likely is not published, and a media plan that has to be signed off runs on the second of those, which is the distinction that decides what goes in a cell on these sheets.

4Where this cell sits in the column

Inclusion rule. Every generator in the register, carrying the resolution figure its own page prints, whether that is a ladder, a range or a single pair of numbers. Order. Alphabetical by generator name.
