Pros and cons

AIReiter

Pros

  • One key and one balance across image, video and text models from several providers
  • Text API compatible with the OpenAI SDK, so switching needs only a base URL change
  • Per-model prices are listed publicly on the site
  • Coding Plan has simple monthly tiers at $10, $30 and $100 with no overage charges
  • Operating company and Hong Kong governing law are stated in the terms

Cons

  • Reseller of third-party models, so availability and pricing depend on upstream providers
  • Coding Plan page gives no numeric per-plan quotas, and its usage table's $180 allowance column is unexplained
  • No documented SDK, mobile app or free-credit policy found on the pages read
  • Homepage claims such as 99.9% uptime and discounts against official rates are unsourced

Runway

Pros

  • Combines video, image and audio generation and editing in one workspace
  • Offers Runway's own Gen-4.5 plus third-party models such as Seedance 2.0
  • Creative Agent builds videos from a conversation
  • Runway Dev API with Node and Python SDKs
  • Free plan with 125 credits that do not expire
  • Native iOS and Android apps

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing: a 5-second Gen-4.5 clip costs 60 credits, so the 625 credits on Standard cover about 10 such clips
  • Standard and Pro credits do not roll over at the end of the month
  • Some App Store reviewers complain about the cost of failed or unusable generations
  • 4K upscaling is unlimited only on Pro and Max
