Don't do it brother
Title: Misleading subscription — credits disappear shockingly fast I paid $100 for a full-year subscription expecting a useful AI video tool with reasonable output. Instead, I got a small credit pool that vanished almost instantly. I made a single 6-second test video and watched my credits drop like I had produced a feature film. Runway markets itself like a tool for creators, but the credit system makes it practically unusable unless you keep paying. Their own documentation shows each second burns credits (Gen-4 can cost 12 credits per second), and even the yearly plan gives barely enough credits for a few short clips. Once you hit the credit wall, the app prompts you to buy more. So the $100 “subscription” feels like a paywall disguised as a premium plan. It’s essentially a microtransaction system wrapped in a yearly price tag. If you are a serious content creator or need more than one tiny clip a month, this is absolutely not worth it. There are cheaper and more transparent tools available that don’t drain your wallet for a few seconds of video. Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ Verdict: Save your money.
