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

Wispr Flow

Pros

  • Works in any app on Mac, Windows, iOS and Android without per-app plugins.
  • Cleans up filler words, corrections and punctuation automatically rather than producing raw transcripts.
  • Permanent free tier with 2,000 words per week on desktop.
  • Support for 100+ languages plus a personal dictionary and snippets.
  • Enterprise options include SSO, SCIM, audit logs and a signed BAA, and the company lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and HIPAA certifications.

Cons

  • The free tier is capped at 2,000 words per week on desktop and 1,000 on mobile.
  • Notetaker is limited to Mac and Windows, and unlimited Notetaker access appears to cost more on Growth.
  • At launch, the Android app lacked the learning dictionary, snippets and per-app tone features; Android dictation sessions are capped at 5 minutes.
  • No public API or offline mode is mentioned in the official documentation.
