Compare Runway Standard subscription spending
This is the separate Runway web plan. Its credits are not API credits. Gen-4.5 uses 12 web credits per second; Standard includes 625 credits per month.
How the estimate works
Each route uses a verified clip length: Runway and Luma use 5 seconds; Google uses 8 seconds. We round the number of clips up to cover the finished length, then multiply by your attempts per keeper. Trimming spare seconds does not refund their generation cost.
API totals represent consumed generation value, not an invoice or minimum deposit. Subscription totals separate upfront spending from the share of included credits used. Tax, currency conversion, storage and unentered extras are excluded. This calculator does not compare output quality.
