Pros and cons

Notion AI

Pros

  • Works directly on the pages and databases where teams already keep their content
  • Q&A answers include citations to workspace sources
  • Enterprise Search reaches connected apps such as Slack, Google Drive and GitHub
  • Meeting transcription works without a meeting bot
  • Notion states customer data is not used for model training unless the customer opts in

Cons

  • Full AI features (Agent, Meeting Notes, Enterprise Search) require the $20 per member Business plan
  • Custom Agents and Workers use credits billed at $10 per 1,000 monthly credits
  • Meeting Notes and Enterprise Search are labelled beta
  • Only useful if content lives in Notion; it does not generate images

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
