Plain answer
Current official Kimi paid membership prices are Moderato $19/mo, Allegretto $39/mo, Allegro $99/mo, and Vivace $199/mo. Annual billing lowers the effective monthly prices to $15, $31, $79, and $159 respectively.
Kimi K3 API pricing is separate from membership: kimi-k3 is listed at $0.30 per 1M cached input tokens, $3.00 per 1M uncached input tokens, and $15.00 per 1M output tokens, with a 1,048,576-token context window.
AI handoff prompt and permissions
Copy this prompt into Kimi Code, K3Nova, or another AI agent. Keep approval manual for file writes, shell commands, account actions, and secrets.
Copyable AI prompt
Use this to give the agent the task and safety boundary in one message.
You are my AI agent for this task: refresh current Kimi membership and Kimi K3 API pricing, calculate a small usage budget, and separate official Kimi costs from K3Nova costs.
Start by restating the goal and the permissions you need.
Use official docs or the files I provide before making claims.
Give me a direct answer first, then a short table or checklist.
If commands are needed, show exact copyable commands without a shell prompt.
Ask before writing files, running shell commands, deleting or moving data, logging in, spending money, changing account settings, or handling API keys.
Stop and ask me when a step requires secrets, payment, account access, destructive cleanup, or a permission broader than the task.

How to read the facts
Membership credits
Kimi membership features share a unified credit pool. Higher tiers add more credits, concurrency, and Kimi Code credit multiples.
API token billing
Kimi API is billed per request by input and output token volume. Kimi K3 has flat pricing rather than a higher price for the full 1M context window.
K3Nova boundary
Use K3Nova pricing only when you are paying for the independent K3Nova workspace path, not official Kimi membership or API credits.
