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

VEED

Pros

  • Runs fully in the browser with no install, and covers editing, subtitles, recording and AI generation in one place.
  • Free plan with no credit card required.
  • Wide set of AI tools, including avatars, dubbing, voice cloning and several third-party video models.
  • Brand Kit and templates suit repeatable social content for teams.
  • Developer APIs for lip sync, subtitles and background removal.

Cons

  • Prices are not clearly shown without JavaScript and tier names and prices have changed during 2026, which makes comparison harder.
  • AI credits are capped per plan and do not roll over, so heavy AI generation can require credit add-ons.
  • Free exports are reported to be watermarked, 720p and limited to 10 minutes.
  • Browser-based editing is less suited to complex, long-form productions; the two iOS apps use separate subscriptions or plans, and no Android or desktop app was verified.
