Editor's note
Pricing confirmed on pikzels.com/pricing (2026-08-09). Premium: $40/mo (1,000 credits/mo, up to 150 thumbnails/mo), or $28/mo billed annually at $336/yr (18,000 credits/yr, up to 1,800 thumbnails/yr) — 30% off. Ultimate: $80/mo (3,000 credits/mo, up to 450 thumbnails/mo), or $56/mo billed annually at $672/yr (54,000 credits/yr, up to 5,400 thumbnails/yr) — 30% off. Only these two tiers are listed on the live pricing page — no 'Essential' plan exists there, despite that name/price ($14-20/mo) appearing on several third-party aggregator sites, which likely reflects a discontinued tier. API access is a real, versioned public REST API (v2; v1 retired 2026-02-17) documented at docs.pikzels.com, with an OpenAPI spec, endpoints for Thumbnails (generate/edit/score), Titles, and Personas, a standard error envelope, and a rate-limit policy. Any Pikzels account can create an API key — no specific plan tier is required, though API usage still draws from your plan's credits. The Thumbnails endpoints return image output as their core function, though no page states an explicit list of export formats.
