Runway API pricing by platform

One row per Runway version, one column per platform: each cell is that platform’s lowest exact price for the version (per second of video), with the resolution it is for. Green is the cheapest platform for that version; when two or more platforms sell the same resolution, the row is ranked at it (“Ranked at 720p”). Grey prices are for another resolution or unit and are not ranked. Different versions are never ranked against each other; for the same resolution side by side, open a version.

Runway Gen-4.5 API price by resolution

2 endpoints on 2 platforms · 2 prices. One row per resolution, one column per platform: the lowest exact price for exactly that output (per second of video). Green is the cheapest platform at that resolution. “Video input” rows are the rates when you upload a video: platforms bill them on different bases (kie.ai charges the rate on input plus output seconds, Replicate on output seconds only), so they sit side by side without a cheapest.
