Pika 2.5
fun effects, no longer a serious production tool
still enjoyable for social-first content, but it appears in no leaderboard and has no real api — it has fallen out of the competitive tier.
pika 2.5 handles physics interactions and synchronised audio, and its effects-driven approach is genuinely fun for social formats. that was enough to matter in 2024.
it is now absent from every leaderboard we consulted, and there is no meaningful public developer api — it is a subscription consumer app.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
