Credits are the unit you spend to generate images, video, and audio on Runway. Each model uses a set number of credits per generation depending on the model, duration, and resolution — for example, Gen-4.5 uses 12 credits per second of generated video. Paid plans include a monthly credit allotment, and the Free plan includes a one-time deposit of 125 credits that doesn't expire.

What if I need more credits?

If you need more credits, you can purchase additional credits from the Plans & Billing page in your dashboard. The minimum purchase is 1,000 credits.

Do my credits roll over or expire?

On the Standard and Pro plans, monthly credits don't roll over — they reset within 24 hours of your billing date each cycle. On the Max plan, up to one month of unused credits rolls over to the following month. Any additional credits you purchase never expire.

What does each paid tier include in monthly credits?

Standard: 625 credits /mo. Pro: 2250 credits /mo. Max: 9500 credits /mo. The page also lists yearly comparisons: Standard $12 /month with 7,500 credits/year, Pro $28 /month with 27,000 credits/year, and Max $76 /month with 114,000 credits/year.

Is there a plan for teams and enterprises?

Yes. Team is listed at $69 and described as "Best for fast-moving teams with high production needs". Enterprise is described as "Built for organizations: security, privacy, admin controls and dedicated support" with "Contact sales", and the page states "Enterprises get 2 months of usage free. Sign by 10/31. See terms." Feature and credit limits for both are Not published.

What each plan includes

Free

Includes: 125 credits (one time); a selection of generative creative models to test concepts; 5GB asset storage
Missing: Watermark policy, project limits, generation caps, and price per additional credit: Not published
Avoid if: You need recurring generations, no watermarks, or more than 5GB asset storage
Verdict: Fine for a trial, but the 125 one-time credits do not refresh, so plan on Standard for ongoing work.

Standard

Includes: 625 credits /mo = 52s of Gen-4.5, 104s of Gen-4 Turbo, or 78 Gen-4 Images (1080p); access to all AI video & image models; agentic creative collaborator; parallel generations: 5 videos & images; music, voice & sound effects generation; up to 3 projects; no watermarks; 4K upscaling; 20GB storage
Missing: Price per additional credit: Not published. Monthly credits don't roll over — they reset within 24 hours of your billing date each cycle
Avoid if: Your monthly output exceeds 625 credits and you don't want to buy top-ups
Verdict: The sensible default paid tier for a solo founder starting with AI video.

Pro

Includes: 2250 credits /mo = 187s of Gen-4.5, 375s of Gen-4 Turbo, or 281 Gen-4 Images (1080p); access to all AI video & image models; agentic creative collaborator; parallel generations: 15 videos & images; up to 5 projects; 1 Brand Kit; 1 custom voice clone; top-up credits anytime; Runway MCP; unlimited 4K video upscaling; 100GB storage; Topaz AI Upscale Unlimited
Missing: Price per additional credit: Not published. Monthly credits don't roll over — they reset within 24 hours of your billing date each cycle
Avoid if: You're still testing whether AI video fits your workflow
Verdict: Best step-up once Standard's credits and 3-project cap feel tight.

Max

Includes: 9500 credits /mo = 791s of Gen-4.5, 791s of Gen-4, 1900s of Gen-4 Turbo, 1187 Gen-4 Images (1080p), or 475 Nano Banana Pro images (2K); max early access to new models; agentic creative collaborator; parallel generations: 20 videos & images; credits roll over 1 mo.; up to 10 projects; up to 3 Brand Kits; up to 3 custom voice clones; Runway MCP; studio-grade quality generations: HDR, ProRes, image sequences; unlimited 4K video upscaling; 500GB storage; Topaz AI Upscale Unlimited
Missing: Price per additional credit: Not published
Avoid if: You're a light or occasional user — the page positions Max for heavy solo usage
Verdict: Worth it only if you regularly burn through Pro's 2250 credits /mo.

Team

Includes: Not published
Missing: Features, credit allotments, storage, and project limits: Not published
Avoid if: You are a solo founder — this tier is described for fast-moving teams
Verdict: Ask for the details directly; the page states the price but not what the plan includes.

Enterprise

Includes: 2 months of usage free. Sign by 10/31. See terms
Missing: Pricing and feature details: Not published; the page says Contact sales
Avoid if: You need self-serve pricing
Verdict: Sales-led; only worth a conversation if your organization needs security, privacy, admin controls and dedicated support.
