When this is better than Moonshot official billing
Choose 97AI.PRO when you do not have a US or EU credit card, when Moonshot's direct billing is not available in your region, or when you want one wallet for Kimi K2.6 plus chat, image, video, audio, and embedding models. Official billing is still best when your company requires a direct vendor contract.
