How Creator Credits Compound Into Enterprise Contracts.

Runway monetizes through two engines. Self-serve subscriptions for creators and creative teams run from roughly $12–15/month entry plans to ~$76–95/month unlimited-tier options, billed by credits for video generations. On top, the API sells Gen-4 and Aleph models per second of generated video to developers, ad agencies and media platforms.

The 2026 acceleration is enterprise-led: management credits net revenue retention above 300% — driven by customers expanding from pilots into production pipelines — with one Fortune 20 customer scaling usage 17x. Advertising and entertainment budgets, not individual creators, now carry the growth.
