Unlimited-mode notes
RunwayThe Unlimited plan is no longer offered to new subscribers (legacy accounts continue through November 30, 2026); Max is the current high-volume plan. Fit is tested against fixed included credits; purchased credits ($0.01/credit, 1,000 minimum) are estimated separately.
MagnificNo verified unlimited policy recorded. Veytora AI does not assume unlimited behaviour.
Production use cases
RunwayB-roll scenes, establishing shots, image-to-video motion for illustrated documentaries.
MagnificUpscaling low-resolution generations, detail enhancement, still-image asset pipelines.
Workflow friction
RunwayScenes longer than 10 seconds need multiple generation calls and continuity work in the edit; 1080p/4K delivery is an upscale pass (included on Pro and Max).

Who should choose Runway
Creators whose finished runtime depends on AI-generated motion, who can estimate their retry rate, and who need to know whether a plan’s credits cover a month of clips before subscribing.
Who should choose Magnific
Creators working primarily with still images who need upscaling and enhancement. Veytora AI cannot yet size a Magnific plan for you because its per-image cost has not been verified.
Fields marked “Not yet verified” are intentionally blank. Veytora AI does not fill gaps with estimates.
