Overview
Runway is a cloud creative platform for generating and editing video and images, with audio tools and a developer API. Its public pricing page covers Runway and partner models rather than only the Gen family. Free includes a one-time 125-credit allowance. Standard, Pro and Max provide monthly credit budgets; generation cost depends on the selected model and settings. Annual-payment equivalents differ from the normal monthly prices, so the billing commitment matters when comparing plans.
