free tier from $12/month Checked 24 Sep 2026

Runway resells Kling 3.0 and other third-party models alongside its own Gen-4.5, but holds the worst review-site rating of any platform we track: 1.1/5 on Trustpilot across 333 reviews.

Runway prices its own Gen-4.5/Aleph models alongside resold third-party access (Kling 3.0 confirmed, Seedance version and Veo inclusion both disputed between sources) from one credit pool: Standard $15/mo, Pro $35/mo, Max $95/mo. Its API runs a separate pool at a flat $0.01/credit. Pro and Max both include "Unlimited 4K video upscaling" via a bundled Topaz integration — it covers upscaling, not new generations, which stay credit-metered at every tier.

The one number we would not skip before subscribing: Runway holds a 1.1 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot across 333 reviews, 93% of them one star, the worst of any platform in this category. Recurring complaints include short generations consuming an entire monthly allowance, refund requests denied after failed generations, and account suspensions for "unusual usage patterns." See our full Runway review and pricing breakdown for the sourced detail, including where its own pricing page's third-party model list is inconsistent.
