If you are here, this is probably why

You pay $12-76/month for Runway but don't use it every day

You want video billed per second with the cost shown before you spend, instead of decoding a monthly credit allowance

You want API access for automated video generation without enterprise pricing

You want 49 video models to choose between, not one house family

The short version

FairStack does not carry Runway's Gen-4 models. It carries 49 others -- Kling, Veo, Sora 2, Hailuo, Seedance and more -- billed per second.

A 5-second shot: 5s x $0.0312/s (768p) = $0.156 on Hailuo 2.3 Fast, or 5s x $0.12/s = $0.60 on Kling 3.0 Standard. Runway's own API lists Gen-4 Turbo at $0.25 per generation.

Images are billed per image: GPT Image 2 is $0.072/image and Nano Banana Pro is $0.1608/image. Runway meters images in monthly plan credits.

Voice is billed per character: ElevenLabs Multilingual V2 is $0.216/1K chars, with no monthly allowance to use up. Runway meters it at 20 credits per 1K characters.

When Runway may still be the better choice

We believe in honesty. Here is where they have an edge.

We do not carry Gen-3, Gen-4 or Gen-4.5. Runway's own models are only available from Runway — if a Gen-4 shot is what you want, buy it there

If you need Runway's built-in video editor with keyframing, motion brush, and inpainting — those tools don't exist on FairStack

If your team relies on Runway's editing and collaboration workflow

Runway bundles image, video and voice inside one subscription; priced per unit, some of those steps cost more here than a credit does there
