Pros and cons

Cyanvid

Pros

  • Seven video models from several providers in one account, including Veo 3.1 and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro
  • Exact credit quote shown before each generation
  • Low entry price: $9.90 per month for 100 credits
  • No watermark on any plan, including the free tier
  • Credits are refunded automatically on failed generations

Cons

  • Credits expire monthly and do not roll over
  • Premium models are expensive in credits: a 50-credit Seedance 2.5 clip uses half of the Max plan's monthly allowance
  • No built-in editor, captions, face swap, lip sync or audio-to-video
  • Clips are limited to 5 or 6 seconds and mostly 720p
  • Legal entity and location are not disclosed, and the domain was registered in October 2026

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
