Pika adds Nano Banana 2 at 7 credits, boosts top-up pack image counts
What happened
Between the Nov 6, 2026 and Nov 7, 2026 captures of Pika's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: New Nano Banana 2 (1K image) row added to the credit cost table at 7 credits per image, alongside Nano Banana 2.1 at 5 credits; Credit top-up pack image counts increased at the same prices: $25 187→214, $50 375→428, $100 750→857, $200 1.5k→1.7k, $500 3.8k→4.3k Nano Banana 2 images. In detail: Nano Banana 2 per-image cost cut from 8 to 7 credits, so top-up packs now yield more images at unchanged prices: $25 187→214, $50 375→428, $100 750→857, $200 1.5k→1.7k, $500 3.8k→4.3k, $1,000 8.3k→9.4k; Nano Banana 2 (1K image) row added to the credit cost table at 7 credits per image (the plan estimator showed it at 8 credits each before), alongside Nano Banana 2.1 at 5 credits. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit increase, feature added) with an upward direction. The current page lists Starter at $8, Creator at $28, Fancy at $76 and Credit Pack at $1 per 60 credits.
It lands one day after Pika's previous change, "Pika quietly slashes Starter and Creator monthly credit caps by 33–17%" (Nov 6, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Pika adds daily free H3 Flex generations plus 14-model credits table" (Nov 4, 2026), "Pika adds commercial license to $10 Starter plan, launches plan recommender" (Oct 26, 2026) and "Pika top-up credits now work with MCP, ending a key limitation" (Oct 19, 2026). Pika has been tracked since 2026-05-15.
