Pros and cons

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

v0 by Vercel

Pros

  • Imports Figma designs, screenshots and existing GitHub repositories
  • Offers a REST API, TypeScript SDK and an iOS app

Cons

  • Free plan is limited to 7 messages per day
  • Credit-based billing makes monthly cost depend on model and prompt size
  • Centered on the Next.js and React stack; the full workflow assumes Vercel
  • Business costs $100 per user per month with the same $30 monthly credits as Plus
  • No Android app
