Held on no named operator or jurisdiction, an analytics disclosure gap the operator acknowledged in writing, retention with no period, and unnamed model vendors. Re-verified live 2026-10-21: /privacy-policy (dated 2026-10-04) still contains zero occurrences of 'analytics', 'Umami' or 'Clarity' while Umami and Microsoft Clarity (project yi8m85ks1u) load on every page, and the 30:00 'Limited Time Offer / TODAY'S FLASH SALE' countdown still renders on / and /pricing with struck list prices on all four packs. Credit costs are published per resolution. PUBLISHED 2026-10-21 with 'no registered entity, postal address or named controller' and 'no governing-law clause' recorded as stated limitations in cons rather than as a gate.

Official sources checked 2026-09-18Live re-check 2026-09-18: the official pricing route DOES publish a self-service plan table (Starter/Creator/Fancy with a monthly/yearly toggle). The previous record, which stated the page exposed no plan table and carried Basic/Standard/Pro plan names, was wrong and has been replaced with figures read off pika.art/pricing today. Recheck before purchase; Pika reprices and renames tiers.
