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

Wondercraft

Pros

  • Covers audio and video in one studio, from text to speech to avatars and text-to-video.
  • Free plan with 150 credits and no credit card required to start.
  • Starts from documents, scripts or existing podcasts rather than a blank timeline.
  • Editable timeline Studio with captions, branding and resizing.
  • States SOC 2 and GDPR compliance, with SSO, SAML and MFA on Enterprise.

Cons

  • Free plan is limited to 720p export and limited access to AI models.
  • Credit-based usage makes costs variable; video and image credits depend on the model and resolution.
  • Team collaboration is capped at 3 users on Pro; larger teams need Enterprise.
  • No dedicated iOS or Android app found.
