What are the best Pika alternatives?
Pika relaunched in September 2026 as a set of 25+ apps (Video Studio, Product Ad, Swap Anything, Motion Transfer and more) that run Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3, Wan 3.0 and Gemini Omni Flash next to Pika's own models. The old app at old.pika.art is being phased out, so download anything you want to keep. If you want to wire models together yourself and add 3D or Gaussian splats, use OTOY Studio. For one-click social and ad video, Higgsfield is the closest match to Pika's apps. Kling and Runway are the main single-vendor picks.

Choose by what you need
- Control over each step: OTOY Studio. Instead of an app choosing the model, you pick it, compare several side by side, and save the graph for the next shot. See all AI video models in one place.
- 3D and splats: OTOY Studio. See image to 3D model.
- Ready-made ad and social formats: Higgsfield. See OTOY Studio vs Higgsfield.
What you give up by leaving Pika
- Task-shaped apps for people who don't want to build a graph.
- Pika 2.5 and Pikaframes, Pika's own models.
- Sound tools for music, speech and effects in the same place. OTOY Studio has ElevenLabs and Stable Audio, but no music app.
- No watermark on any plan. OTOY Studio has no watermark either.
