Who Runway suits, and who should skip it

  • Good for: Editors who want Runway inside DaVinci Resolve.
  • Good for: Teams that script video work through MCP.
  • Good for: Creators who want draft-then-polish video generation.
  • Skip if: You need a free tier (many items are Paid Plans).
  • Skip if: You want a single in-house model; Runway aggregates partners.

What the pricing page does not tell you

  • Many features are paid-only.
  • Partner-model availability changes often.
  • We did not run any generation.
  • Not captured: Output quality (not tested).
  • Not captured: Exact steps for MCP setup outside Cursor.
  • Plans are not like-for-like across vendors (credits, seats, usage caps and models differ), so this page does not rank Runway against others on price.
