## Running Runway here instead

We run Runway too, without a monthly plan. New accounts get 18 credits free with no card, and a 5-second Runway clip costs 6 of them — enough for three clips before you decide anything. Paid plans here start at $9.9/month, and the same account also runs Veo 3, Kling and ByteDance V1 Pro, so you are not subscribing to each one separately.
On this site: 6 credits per generation, against 18 free credits on sign-up.

## Questions

### Does Runway have a free plan?
Yes, but it is a one-time deposit of 125 credits rather than a monthly allowance, and output carries a watermark. Runway states the free credits do not expire.

### Do Runway credits roll over?
On Standard and Pro they do not — Runway resets them within 24 hours of your billing date. On Max, up to one month of unused credits rolls over. Credits you buy on top never expire.

### How many videos is 625 credits?
Runway prices Gen-4.5 at 60 credits per 5 seconds, so 625 credits is about ten 5-second Gen-4.5 clips, or roughly twenty on Gen-4 Turbo. Cheaper and pricier models shift that number a lot.

### Is there a way to use Runway without a monthly subscription?
You can run Runway here on credits instead of a plan. Sign-up gives you 18 credits and no card is asked for; a 5-second clip costs 6. That is not cheaper per clip than Runway's own API — we buy access like everyone else — but there is no monthly commitment and one account covers several models.
