VERDICT

Should I use Pika?

Pika is a pretty good blogging (and newsletter!) platform built by the good people at Good Enough. - pika.page

Depends. Buy only if you are an individual writer who wants a simple, pretty blog with a built-in newsletter and accepts thin third-party evidence. Not for anyone needing proven scale, integrations, or documented security — and ignore online 'Pika' reviews, they cover the wrong product.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~40 public sources; nearly all describe other products named Pika (pika.art AI video, PikiwiDB, a Python AMQP library), leaving thin evidence for pika.page itself.
