Choose the Right Plan for You

Yes. You can upgrade at any time and the change takes effect immediately — upgrades are prorated, so you only pay the time-adjusted difference and receive the additional credits right away. If you downgrade, the unused balance is applied as a credit toward your next billing cycle and your current plan stays active until then.

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.

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.

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.
