Runway, the company behind one of the earliest commercial AI video tools, runs a web studio that combines its in-house models with a curated set of partner models. Its product has expanded from text-to-video into editing, audio, and world simulation, and the company now operates from the runway.com domain.
On the video side, the pricing page lists Runway’s own Gen-4.5, Gen-4 Turbo, and Aleph 2.0 alongside Kling 4.0 and Seedance models, while images come from Gen-4 Image and Nano Banana Pro. Paid plans add music, voice, and sound-effect generation, 4K upscaling (via Topaz AI Upscale), Brand Kits, custom voice clones, and the Runway MCP for connecting the studio to AI assistants. The Max tier adds studio-grade output such as HDR, ProRes, and image sequences, plus early access to new models. Navigation also points to Act-Two for performance capture and GWM Worlds for world simulation.
Runway fits video editors, agencies, and filmmakers who want generation and post-production tools in one place rather than juggling separate subscriptions. Its credit system is the main thing to plan around: Standard and Pro credits do not roll over, new accounts receive 125 free credits once with a limited model selection, and heavier projects quickly push users toward the Pro or Max plans. Teams that only need occasional single shots may find a cheaper model-specific service sufficient.
