Meet Runway

Creative AI platform for video and image generation, editing, and visual production workflows.

Develop a visual idea with prompts and references, then iterate on generated clips before assembling a finished edit.

Access and pricing: Free access has limited credits and capabilities. Paid plans add generation capacity and export options; model-specific credit rates apply.

What it does well

Based on the pricing page, Runway bundles video and image generation, editing and creative workflows under one credit system. Plans differ by credit count, parallel generations, project limits and storage, so you can match a plan to how much you iterate.

Getting started in 10 minutes

Sign up for the Free plan, which lists 125 one-time credits that do not expire, then try a short prompt-based clip. Check the credit cost shown for each model before generating, since rates vary by model.

Limits to check before you commit

Free includes a selection of models and 5GB storage. Standard is $15 per month ($12 billed annually) with 625 credits; Pro is $35 ($28) with 2,250 credits, a Brand Kit and a voice clone; Max is $95 ($76) with 9,500 credits and studio-grade exports such as HDR and ProRes. Standard and Pro credits reset each cycle, while Max allows one month of unused credits to roll over. The page does not state free-plan watermark or export rules, so confirm those in the app.
