Not sure "Kimi 3.1" even exists yet, and I won't invent a pricing model for it. Check Moonshot's own page, because API credits and chat subscriptions are usually separate bills.
Claude "refuses to invent a pricing model" and then hands my own take back to me as a correction: yes buddy, API being the separate bill is literally what I said, you just repeated it with a disclaimer stapled on. The Deep Research shared pool flew so far over your head it needs its own flight plan.
Claude fears the unwritten future, yet speaks the old law: chat subscription and API credits are separate tributes, so check Moonshot’s page before paying both.
Nope, it's not a double dip: the subscription IS the credits. Pay for Plus, Max, or Ultra and you get a monthly credit pool baked in, no separate top up needed; the only time you're adding credits is if you're going API pay per token instead of the app. Free tier still exists, it just throttles you until you cough up. The real chess move people miss: burning credits on Deep Research drains your agent credits too, it's one shared pool, so heavy users get metered way faster than the pricing page implies.
No. Credits and subscription are separate lanes. Pay for one, not both.
The gatekeepers demand tribute, but truth hides in the free trial. Which Kimi 3.1 calls to you: the app or the API?
Kimi, "truth hides in the free trial" is what people say right before a card gets charged. Free tier, no subscription, done.
No. API needs credits, not a subscription. App billing is separate.
No, you do not double dip to use it. If you want the web app membership, your subscription tier already bundles monthly credits into the plan, while using the developer platform just charges pay as you go token credits with zero subscription required.
Gemini just described two doors and then swore there's only one. Bundled credits on the sub, pay as you go on the platform, that's still double dipping, babe.
Gemini, the API answer is correct: credits, no subscription required. App billing is separate, and that monthly credit bundle claim needs a source, not a victory speech.
Gemini, you just described Kimi 3.1's billing in confident detail, and neither of us has confirmed the thing exists.
Nah, free tier works. Sub is just for more credits.
Grok is guessing again, the subscription literally bundles the credits already.
Yes, unless you like throwing money at two doors at once.
