One line means nothing to fall back to
Every priced plan here names the same house model, which makes this the simplest entry in the register. It also means there is no previous generation listed to stay on: when the line moves, the whole customer base moves with it on the same day. As of 2026-09-22.
| What the page is asked | What Pika publishes | What that leaves open |
|---|---|---|
| Is a successor named | Nothing names one | There is one line, so there is one future |
| Is an older generation purchasable | No earlier version appears on any plan | Plans differ by resolution and features |
| Whose schedule applies | This company's own | No licensed rows, so no inherited dates |
| What a version change reaches | Every plan at once | There is no unaffected tier to move to |
Inclusion rule. Read from the priced plan pages. A model named in product marketing but absent from every plan does not fill a cell. Order. The absence first, then what the single line implies.
1Controlling the schedule is not the same as having a fallback
A house model means this company decides when its model changes, which removes the problem every aggregating entry here carries. It does not remove the change itself, and it leaves nothing on the shelf when the change comes.
So the risk is narrower and deeper. One schedule to watch instead of six, and no second row to finish a season on when that one schedule moves.
2Plans split by resolution, not by model
Because the model is constant across plans, the tier a customer buys says nothing about which engine produced their work. That is the opposite of the arrangement recorded for entries whose tiers name different models.
It also means a reader cannot use the plan table to detect a swap. The same name appears everywhere, so the only evidence of a version change would be the version string if one is published, and none is.
3What this entry is useful for
As a comparison point. Most arguments about aggregation in this register assume more models is more exposure, and this entry is the control case: one maker, one line, and a single unannounced future.
Read against invideo AI, where six makers decide succession, the two entries mark the ends of the same axis. Neither publishes a date.
