Pricing and conditions
Documented terms
The China help table lists Go/Plus/Pro/Max at ¥49/99/199/699 monthly, or ¥468/948/1908/6708 prepaid yearly; annual monthly equivalents are not monthly charges. The page does not separately establish ISO currency, tax inclusion or other-region checkout. Shared credits refresh monthly even on annual plans and do not roll over. Go excludes Kimi Code; new Plus+ and legacy Code limits differ. Extra usage and persistent Claw/published-site resources can consume more credits. API/business plans are separate; verify account quotas and renewal/channel rules.

Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
The hosted app is not covered by its separately published model weights. Consumer terms limit intended use to personal learning/research/life/entertainment and restrict unauthorized automation, resale and competing services; paid membership alone does not establish broader business rights. Relative input/output rights are non-exclusive and require third-party consent and AI-identification compliance. Terms allow model optimization; privacy describes de-identification and a contact-based verified training opt-out. Saved memory's no-training statement is narrower than all conversations. The read policy stores personal information in China, with consent/legal exceptions and necessary retention; deletion is not zero retention. API/organization and model licenses require separate review.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.5 score is retained; its original scoring evidence is unavailable. This documentation review did not measure performance or compare products and did not re-score it.
Overview
Kimi's hosted app combines conversation, linked web research and document work. Its Docs and Sheets workflows can generate or edit office files; search can return source links for a reader to check. Dynamic or password-protected pages may be inaccessible, and generated files and citations still need review. Current plan features are not a guarantee that every account or region has the same tools.
This app is separate from Kimi model-weight releases and the developer API. Buying membership does not acquire model weights or an unrestricted automation/commercial license. Review shared credits, optional persistent cloud-resource charges, memory settings and the applicable consumer or organization agreement before uploading documents.
