Ordinary AI chat often guesses at numbers. Professional Data lets Kimi look up real figures in paid financial, economic and research databases, then use them in its answer, a table or a report. This page explains what it is, which sources have been reported, how many lookups each plan gets, and how to use it carefully.
An illustration of the idea. Kimi does not show its database lookups exactly like this.
Kimi's access to paid databases for finance, economics and research figures.
From 2,000 lookups a month on Moderato to 24,000 on Vivace.
Kimi does not publish its international source list. Check important figures yourself.
A language model learns from text up to a certain date, and it does not store exact figures reliably. Ask it for last quarter's revenue and it may give a confident but wrong number. Professional Data tackles this by giving Kimi access to paid professional databases, the kind analysts and researchers subscribe to.
When a question needs hard figures, Kimi can fetch them from a database instead of relying on memory.
The figures can go into an answer, a comparison table, a chart, a spreadsheet or a Deep Research report.
Each database lookup uses one call from your monthly allowance, separate from your agent credits.
Kimi's mainland China help page describes the databases as covering "finance, economics, and academia". Kimi's international help page lists the allowance as "Professional database" calls but does not describe the sources.
This is the least clear part. Kimi's international help pages do not list the databases. Here is what we could find.
From Diario Bitcoin's report of 17 September 2026. A second report the same day, from Crypto Briefing, named a different set for an institutional product: Wind, East Money, S&P Global, Caixin Data and Cailian Press. Moonshot's own announcement was not available to us.
Practical tip: ask Kimi directly which database it used for each figure. If it cannot name one, treat the number with care.
| Plan | Price a month | Professional database calls a month |
|---|---|---|
| Adagio (free) | $0 | Not listed. Our earlier pages said 200 |
| Moderato | $19 | 2,000 |
| Allegretto | $39 | 5,000 |
| Allegro | $99 | 12,000 |
| Vivace | $199 | 24,000 |

Paid plan figures and prices from Kimi's international membership help pages, read on 8 October 2026. The free plan is not in that table. Mainland China plans are priced in yuan and differ. More: Kimi AI pricing · Is Kimi AI free?
Kimi's help pages do not describe a separate switch for Professional Data, so we assume Kimi uses it when a question calls for it. The exact screens may differ from these steps.

Replace the parts in [brackets].
Compare [company A] and [company B] on revenue, operating profit and net margin for the last four reported quarters. Show a table and name the source for each figure.
Show [country]'s GDP growth, inflation and unemployment for the last five years in a table and a simple chart. Say which database each series comes from.
List the ten largest funding rounds in [sector] over the last 12 months, with amount, date and lead investor. Link or name the source for each.
A rough check. Enter how you expect to work.
A guess, not a measurement. Kimi does not say how many lookups a question uses; simple questions may use one, and research tasks many more. Plans also limit agent credits, which may run out first.
