Introduction

On June 1st we rolled out the Max plan, a new plan for power users on Runway.

For many of our heaviest users — especially the ones shipping client work or producing on a deadline — speed is of the utmost importance. The Max plan ensures that users get the speed they need with predictable pricing.

This article covers what to expect if you have an Unlimited plan and answers questions about the transition.

Why we’re moving to a credit-based model

With the addition of the Max plan, we are phasing out the Unlimited plan.

While Unlimited provided a great way to explore different creative paths, its relaxed speeds often led to queuing. In order to offer the fastest possible generation times for all our plans, we’re moving to a clearer credit-based structure. We’ve designed Max with a monthly credit allowance and the ability to roll over a month of unused credits so users have more flexibility in how they plan their work while getting the speed they need.

What happens to existing Unlimited subscribers?

If you're currently on Unlimited, nothing changes for the next 90 days. Your plan stays exactly as it is through August 31, 2026. We've emailed every Unlimited subscriber directly with the full details and a walkthrough of their options, and will also send reminder emails as that date approaches. 

On September 1, Unlimited subscribers move to Max. Monthly subscribers move automatically at the same $95/month price. Annual subscribers will have the choice to move to Max or take a refund for the remaining months of your annual term, whichever you prefer.

Monthly plans

On September 1, your Unlimited plan will automatically switch to the Max plan at the same monthly price, or you can choose to cancel your plan.

Annual plans

In August, you can either cancel for a refund of your remaining months of your annual Unlimited plan, or accept a credits bonus to migrate to the max plan.
