Runway pricing

|---|---|---|---|
Free | $0 | $0 | 125 one-time |
Standard | $15 | $12 | 625/month |

What to know
625 credits is roughly 52 seconds of Gen-4.5 video, so video gets expensive quickly.
Extra credits come in blocks of at least 1,000 and never expire.
Our take
Runway is the most complete creative suite in AI video, not just a model. Use the free credits to test Gen-4.5 on a real shot; serious video work realistically starts at Pro.
