Runway Standard vs Runway Pro

Standard is Runway's first paid step: 625 credits a month across its video and image models, 4K upscaling and no watermark. Pro more than triples the credits and adds the pieces filmmakers ask for next — custom voices for lip sync and text-to-speech, and 100GB of storage.

Updated November 2, 2026
§ Quick answer

The short answer.

Standard ($15/mo) suits occasional clips and image work; 625 credits go fast on longer or higher-res video. Pro ($35/mo) fits regular production with 2,250 credits and custom lip-sync voices. Both are cheaper billed annually.

§ Verdict

Which one should you buy?

Pick Runway Standard if…

you make a few short clips or images a month and mainly need watermark-free output with 4K upscaling.

Pick Runway Pro if…

you produce video weekly, need lip sync with a custom voice, or keep running out of Standard's credits.

Plan around seconds, not plan names

Runway credits burn quickly on longer or higher-resolution clips, so estimate how much finished footage you need each month before choosing. If even Pro's 2,250 credits run dry, Max ($95/mo) carries 9,500 with one month of rollover.

§ FAQ

Common questions, answered.

How much more is Runway Pro than Standard?

Standard is $15/mo and Pro is $35/mo when billed monthly; both are cheaper on annual billing. Pro adds 1,625 credits a month on top of the voice and storage features.

What does Runway Standard lack compared with Pro?

Custom voices for lip sync and text-to-speech, 100GB of storage, and most of the credits — 625 a month versus 2,250. Model access isn't the difference: Standard already covers all video and image models.

Does Runway have a free plan?

Yes: 125 one-time credits for Gen-4 Turbo video and image tools, 3 editor projects and 5GB of storage. The credits don't refill monthly.
