Kimi AI's charging model has the characteristics of free basic services and paid value-added services in parallel, as follows:
I. Free basic services
Kimi AI provides completely free basic functions such as text generation, translation, and summarization. Users can access it directly through the web or mobile terminal without paying any fees. Its long text processing capability supports 2 million words of input, which is suitable for scenarios such as academic research and contract analysis.
II. Paid value-added services
1. Reward function: Users can "reward" by paying amounts ranging from 5.20 yuan to 399 yuan, corresponding to priority use during peak hours from 4 days to 365 days.
2. Enterprise-level services: For B-side users, Kimi provides charging models such as call volume, time period, or one-stop solutions including hardware. The specific price is customized according to enterprise needs.
III. Adjustment of model reasoning service prices
Starting from April 7, 2025, Kimi Open Platform will lower the price of model reasoning services. For example, the input price of kimi-latest-8k model will be reduced from 12 yuan/million tokens to 2 yuan/million tokens, and the output price will be adjusted to 10 yuan/million tokens, which will significantly reduce the user's usage cost.
Kimi AI attracts users through free basic services, and paid value-added services meet in-depth needs. At the same time, it optimizes the enterprise-level service pricing strategy to form a multi-level and flexible charging system.
