The limitation that matters
Free generations are watermarked and cannot buy top-ups. Commercial use is allowed under Runway's terms.
Output depends on model and duration. As one current example, Gen-4.5 costs 12 credits per second, so the one-time free balance is enough for two 5-second generations with 5 credits remaining. Free-plan credits do not expire. The official free-plan pages reviewed do not state whether signup requires a card.
Plan details can change. A source check confirms published information; it is not a hands-on quality review or a guarantee that the plan fits every project.
