Explore Mode is a feature included with Unlimited Plans that lets you create infinite videos and images without using monthly credits.
Runway balances Explore Mode usage so every Unlimited Plan subscriber always has access. When generating in Explore Mode, this means that:
- Your generations might take longer to start during busy periods
- You may be limited in how many videos or images you can create at the same time
- Wait times depend on overall site traffic and demand
Unlimited Plans also include 2,250 credits per month, which you can use in Credits Mode for on-demand generations without concurrency limits.
You can switch back and forth between Explore Mode and Credits Mode at any time by clicking on the toggle on the upper-right hand side of your generative session.
FAQ
What factors determine Explore Mode speeds?
Several factors can impact generation start times:
- How many people are using Runway at the same time
- Time of day (peak hours may be slower)
- Overall platform usage
What are the differences between Explore Mode and Credits Mode?
Both modes create the same high-quality results. The only difference is speed and availability:
- Explore Mode: Unlimited generations, but may have slower start times and limits on simultaneous active generations
- Credits Mode: Faster start times with no simultaneous generation limits, but uses your monthly credits
