Notes on each route
- Gen-4.5 on Runway plans, 720p: Gen-4.5 renders at 1280x720 only and makes no sound. source
- Kling 3.0 Turbo on Runway plans, 1080p: 80 credits per 5 seconds: the cheapest 1080p model Runway sells. source
- Seedance 2.5 on Runway plans, 1080p: source
- Pro and Max also offer an "Unlimited Mode" of zero-credit generations that start later and run fewer at a time; which models and resolutions it covers varies, so it is not priced here.
- Extra credits cost $0.01 each, at least 1,000 at a time, and never expire.
How we priced it
- List prices from each service's own pricing page on 25 October 2026, in US dollars, billed monthly, after any first-month promotion.
- For each amount (10, 20, 40, 80, 120 and 240 minutes a month), the cheapest way to buy it in one month: the cheapest plan that covers it, or a plan plus the service's own extra-credit packs, or pay-as-you-go API prices. Where no published price buys that much, the table says so.
- Every generated second is counted once: no retakes and no failed takes. A model that makes short clips makes a long video as many clips joined.
- A rate marked estimated is one the service does not print where a logged-out visitor can see it; the note beside it says how it was worked out.
- On KitCut one credit is one second of finished film, a film uses at least 30 credits, and a film that fails gets its credits back. KitCut's seconds are finished films, written, narrated and scored, rather than raw clips.
