What are credits?
Credits are used in Runway to generate images, videos, and audio.
How many credits come with my plan?
A one-time deposit of 125 credits is included with the Free plan and do not expire. A monthly credit allotment is included with Standard and Pro plans every month. These amounts do not roll over to following months, and are reset following your billing date.
Credits are added to your account at the day before subscription renewals are paid. You can check your credit balance at any time by visiting your Billing page.
Monthly credit amounts are as follows:
| Plan | Standard | Pro | Unlimited | Enterprise |
| Monthly credits | 625 | 2250 | 2250 | Please see here |
What are my credits worth?
This table outlines the credit cost rates associated with each tool. Please note that these are rates and do not indicate the total cost of a single generation in some cases.
For example, Gen-4 uses 12 credits per second of generated video. This means your total cost per generation would be either 60 or 120 credits, depending on if you chose a 5 or 10 second duration.
| Tool | Credits |
| 1 second of Gen-4 generation | 12 |
| 1 second of Gen-4 Turbo generation | 5 |
| 1 Frames image generation | 8 |
| 1 second of Gen-3 Alpha Turbo generation | 5 |
| 1 second of Gen-3 Alpha generation | 10 |
| 1 second of Gen-2 generation | 5 |
| 1 Text to Image (Legacy) generation | 5 |
| 50 characters of Text to Speech generation | 1 |
| 3 seconds of Speech to Speech generation | 1 |
How do I get more credits?
If you would like to purchase additional credits, users on Standard, Pro, and Unlimited plans may do so by heading to the Plans & Billing page in the dashboard. Purchased credits are not available to Free plan users. Credits may be purchased at a minimum of 1000 credits.
For Enterprise customers, please see the Enterprise Credits FAQ.
Do credits expire?
Monthly plan credits expire on your billing date. Purchased credits do not expire. Initial one-time credits on Free plans do not expire.
How do I know what my billing date is?
Your billing date is the day of the month on which you first initiated your plan. For monthly subscribers, this is also the day that you will receive your monthly subscription charge. For annual subscribers, your billing date is the same date each month (e.g. the 20th of each month), based on when you first initiated your plan.
Admins can find the billing date by clicking the user icon in the top right corner and selecting Manage your plan.
If I'm on a workspace with multiple users, how are credits used across the workspace?
One set of credits is shared by editors in your workspace, rather than being provided as an additional individual set per editor. If you are initiating a new subscription primarily for the associated credits, we suggest setting that account up independently rather than as a collaborator on an existent workspace.
