Pika's crossing point is two plans above the free one
Commercial use is included from the $28 Pro plan upward. Two plans sit below it: the free plan and a paid plan at $8. The step between paying something and being licensed is three and a half times the entry price. As of 2026-09-12.

Inclusion rule. One vendor, one column. A cell earns a page when the vendor publishes something specific there, or when its silence is unusual beside the vendors read with it. Order. Fixed order: the wording, then its address, then the method, then the gap.
1The gap between paying and being licensed
On most rows here the two coincide: a purchase of any size crosses the line. This row prices the licence separately from the product, and a customer who bought the cheap plan has bought generation capacity rather than permission.
The multiple is what makes the row worth a page. Three and a half times the entry price is a budget decision, not a rounding difference, and a team that planned around the cheaper figure will have to revisit it.
2Why an intermediate plan is the dangerous shape
A free plan invites suspicion. An invoice does the opposite: it produces confidence, and confidence is what stops somebody reading the card again before a campaign ships.
That is the argument for recording crossing points as figures rather than as free or paid. The useful question is not whether money changed hands; it is whether enough of it changed hands to reach the card carrying the permission.
3What the upper cards do and do not add
Above the crossing point the marking continues, so nothing is withdrawn further up. What does not appear anywhere on the page is a statement about ownership or about inputs, which leaves this vendor row with one cell read and two blank.
The register keeps those blanks rather than borrowing an answer from documents it does not read for this column, which is the same rule applied to every row.

5Where this reading came from
The cell above was taken from the pricing page published at pika.art, as that page stood on 2026-09-12. The remaining three cells of the same vendor row sit on Pika; the column itself is described on commercial use from. This is a filing decision and not legal advice.
