    Pricing notes
    Verified July 2026. Consumer plans on kimi.com (kimi.ai also resolves): Adagio Free $0 (6 agent credits/mo, no K3). Moderato $19/mo ($15/mo annual). Allegretto $39/mo ($31/mo annual, adds Kimi Claw). Allegro $99/mo ($79/mo annual). Vivace $199/mo ($159/mo annual). K3 access starts at Moderato. Around late July 2026 Moonshot paused new K3 consumer subscriptions due to demand; existing subscribers reportedly unaffected. API pricing separate: Kimi K3 at $3.00/M input, $0.30/M cached input, $15.00/M output tokens via api.moonshot.ai.

    Cons

    • New K3 subscriptions paused as of late July 2026

    • Primarily optimized for Chinese and English markets

    Review notes

    Context from the listing review and editorial research.

    Kimi K3's July 2026 launch positioned it against Claude Sonnet and GPT flagship models at aggressive API pricing. Consumer tiers are music-themed and credit-based, which takes learning. Agent Swarm and Kimi Claw differentiate from basic chatbots. Subscription pause signals capacity constraints. kimi.com subscription does not fund API access—they are separate products.
