The Standard plan's 125 monthly credits cost $15 and sound substantial. In practice, a single 10-second Gen-3 Alpha clip at 768p consumes 50 credits, and upscaling to 4K adds more. Standard subscribers describe running out of credits within the first week of use.
"Made three clips and was at zero credits on day 4 of the month. $15/month is not a real plan — it's a demo that pushes you to $76."
Runway's Gen-3 model is computationally expensive. Reviewers describe queue times of 5–15 minutes per clip during peak hours, even on paid plans. For iterative creative workflows this makes the tool slow to use effectively.
Professional filmmakers describe the biggest limitation as consistency: generating characters, environments, or visual styles consistently across multiple clips is still largely unsolvable in the current model, making it hard to use AI video for anything beyond individual shots.
