Runway pricing at a glance
As checked on November 8, 2026, Runway’s Individual pricing page lists Free at $0, Standard at $15/month, Pro at $35/month, and Max at $95/month. With annual billing, the displayed monthly equivalents are $12, $28, and $76. Those annual prices correspond to $144, $336, and $912 per year, respectively. The page displays a dollar sign but does not specify in the retrieved pricing text whether that means USD or another dollar currency. It also labels this category “Individual” without stating whether each price is charged per user, account, or another unit. Confirm the currency and billing unit shown for your location at checkout; these are not Team-plan prices. (runway.com)
| Individual plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing | Included credits | Credit carryover |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | — | 125 one time | One-time credits do not expire |
| Standard | $15/month | $12/month ($144/year) | 625/month | Unused monthly credits expire at the cycle reset |
| Pro | $35/month | $28/month ($336/year) | 2,250/month | Unused monthly credits expire at the cycle reset |
| Max | $95/month | $76/month ($912/year) | 9,500/month | Up to one month of unused credits rolls over |
Runway says the Free plan’s one-time 125-credit deposit does not expire. For paid plans—including annual subscriptions—monthly credits refresh on the billing day. Unused credits are forfeited at the end of each cycle except on Max, where up to one month of unused credits can roll over. (help.runwayml.com)
What do Runway subscription credits buy?
For Gen-4.5 in Runway’s creative plans, the credit guide lists 12 credits per second of generated video. At that rate, the plan allowances amount to roughly 52 seconds on Standard, 188 seconds on Pro, and 792 seconds on Max—raw generation time before retries or other credit-using operations, not a promise of finished footage. (help.runwayml.com)
Example: Two minutes of raw Gen-4.5 video is 120 seconds × 12 credits, or 1,440 credits. That exceeds Standard’s 625-credit allowance. Pro’s 2,250 credits cover that amount on paper, leaving 810 credits for other uses. Repeated generations can consume credits too, so allow for retries when estimating a project.
For occasional use, compare Standard’s price with its 625-credit monthly allowance and cycle reset. Pro provides a larger monthly allowance. Max has the largest listed allowance and one-month rollover, which may be useful when volume is high or uneven. Choose based on expected generation and billing cadence rather than the plan label alone. (runway.com)
Runway subscription pricing versus production API pricing
A Runway creative subscription and Runway Dev API usage are separate budgets. Runway’s model catalog lists the API model gen4.5 at $0.12 per generated second. The API reference accepts durations from 2 to 10 seconds for the image-to-video endpoint. A five-second Gen-4.5 API generation therefore has a listed usage cost of 5 × $0.12 = $0.60 (equivalent to 60 API credits at $0.01 per credit), before retries and any applicable sales tax. This is an API estimate, not the consumer subscription’s credit rate. (runway.com)
Runway Dev requires a project with credits added; its setup guide states a $10 minimum payment to get started. That is a minimum credit purchase, not the cost of one generation. The Gen-4.5 API reference documents POST /v1/image_to_video and API-key authentication. (help.runwayml.com)
The estimate above applies to Runway Dev. It does not establish that Token Forge Cloud offers a Runway Gen-4.5 endpoint or rate; confirm a specific provider integration and its terms before budgeting through another API service.
Which Runway option fits your workload?
- Trying the product: Start with Free’s 125 one-time credits; treat them as a limited test allowance, not recurring monthly usage. (
help.runwayml.com) - Occasional creative work: Consider Standard if 625 credits per cycle are enough and you can use them before reset. (
runway.com) - Regular generation: Compare Pro’s 2,250 monthly credits with your expected output and retries. Its unused credits expire at the cycle reset. (
runway.com) - Higher or uneven solo volume: Compare Max’s 9,500 monthly credits and one-month rollover against its higher price. (
runway.com) - Application or production integration: Estimate Runway Dev independently using the rate for the exact API model and operation; include likely retries and keep API credits separate from subscription credits. (

Shorter test generations can limit how many credits are committed before a shot is working, but actual usage depends on the model, duration, and number of attempts.
