That sounds complicated. I'll just use my month of Kimi and then cancel. I have too many AI subscriptions to use them all, anyway. I subscribed mostly to test it. I mean, if it turned out to be competitive, I would keep it, but if it doesn't turn out to really excel and anything and also take longer than Claude or OpenAI models, I'll stick with them.

Wow! Does it accept a foreign alipay/wechat pay account?

YMMV, but I'm a US citizen with a KYC'd Alipay account and I was able to subscribe for the Chinese price...

... but I borrowed a friend's +86 phone number, which you'll need to even see that price. or maybe a 回国 VPN will work.
