Who is Runway best for?
Runway is best for video creators and creative teams who want Gen-4.5 and editing tools in one workspace.
Short AI video for ads and social
Gen-4.5 turns text or images into clips, and paid plans add outside models such as Kling 3.0 and Seedance in the same workspace.
Creators who want video, images and audio together
Paid plans also cover image models like Nano Banana Pro plus music, voice and sound effects, so one credit balance covers a whole project.
Small creative teams
The Team plan gives 2 to 9 people shared projects, a pooled credit balance, Brand Kits and frame-accurate comments.
Developers building media features
Runway's pay-as-you-go API reaches its own and other labs' models under one invoice, with no subscription needed.
