Runway (official) — AI Video API Pricing
Official first-party API carrying 1 tracked video model, from $0.050/second — every scheme normalized to cost per second of output.
First-party Developer API from the model's own maker (Runway Gen-4.x) with an official published credit rate card; the reference price for Gen-4 that resellers are measured against.
- Models carried
- 1 tracked video model: Runway Gen-4.5.
- Billing scheme
- per-second — normalized to USD per second of output video on every row below. Credit-based per-second billing on the Developer API; credits cost $0.01 each; each model has a fixed credits-per-second rate (Gen-4.5 = 12 cr/s, Gen-4 Turbo = 5 cr/s) so usd_per_second = credits_per_second * 0.01; API credits are separate from web-app subscription credits
