How Much Does Kik Cost?
Kik is free to download. When you use Kik, data charges might apply. Nobody from Kik will ever ask you for payment methods or money, if there's someone claiming to be Kik, you should report them here.
What about data?
Kik uses your existing data plan or Wi-Fi to send and receive messages, including content messages from Kik webpages (videos, images, sketches, memes, and more).
- When you're using Wi-Fi, the data is completely free
- When you're using your existing data plan, the cost is set by your wireless provider
- If your Wi-Fi isn't working or you're travelling outside of your normal area of service, you may incur charges

Can I have more than one account?
Of course! You'll need to use a different email address for each account you register though.
To switch between accounts on one phone, you'll need to log out of your account. Logging out of Kik will wipe your chat history, so make sure you have no unread messages first. Your list of people you have talked to will still be there when you login again :)
Learn how to log out here.
Can I be logged in on multiple devices at once?
As a security feature on Kik, you can only be logged into one device per account at a time. If you log into your account on a new device, your account will be logged out of the device it was previously logged into and clear your chat history. The list of people you have talked to will still be there when you login again :)
