Common questions
Can I use the Moonshot Kimi API for free?
No — API access is metered per token at the rates above. Subscriptions (where offered) bundle usage into a flat monthly price; the API itself is pay-as-you-go.
Which model is cheapest?
The lowest input/output rate in the table above for light work; match the model to the task rather than defaulting to the cheapest — routing the hard steps up and the cheap steps down usually beats a single choice.
