Pros and cons

Ideoy

Pros

  • Prices and refund rules are stated clearly
  • Failed renders are refunded automatically
  • Discloses the underlying model and safety screening
  • No watermark on paid downloads
  • Credits never expire

Cons

  • No free preview, so quality can only be judged after paying
  • $3.99 per short clip adds up without a pack
  • Adults only and one photo per remake, with no custom scenes
  • Run by a single individual developer, so support depends on one person

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
