Runway Gen-4 Turbo 5 credits vs Gen-4.5 12: a 10-second clip costs
Runway's API lists Gen-4 Turbo at 5 credits a second and Gen-4.5 at 12, with credits at $0.01. What 10 seconds cost, next to the Sume rates.
On Runway's developer pricing, Gen-4 Turbo costs 5 credits per second and Gen-4.5 costs 12, and one credit is $0.01 (Runway pricing, read 2026-10-09). A 10-second Gen-4.5 clip is therefore 120 credits, or $1.20, and a Gen-4 Turbo clip of the same length is $0.50. Gen-4.5 clips run 2 to 10 seconds according to Runway's changelog.
What does each Runway model cost per clip?
The Omni row is also from the Runway pricing page; the changelog says that model outputs 720p and runs 3 to 10 seconds (read 2026-10-09).
| Model | Credits per second | 5 seconds | 10 seconds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gen-4 Turbo | 5 | $0.25 | $0.50 |
| Gen-4.5 | 12 | $0.60 | $1.20 |
| Gemini Omni Flash (text or image) | 10 | $0.50 | $1.00 |
How do Sume's rates line up?
Sume's Omni row, gemini-omni-flash-1.1, bills the provider list times 1.25 per output second, with four resolutions. Sume's catalog does not list Runway models (catalog read 2026-10-09), so the comparison is on price and length, not a swap.
| Resolution | Per second | 10 seconds |
|---|---|---|
| 360p | $0.0375 | $0.375 |
| 720p | $0.125 | $1.25 |
| 1080p | $0.1875 | $1.875 |
| 4K | $0.375 | $3.75 |
What decides it?
Pick on the shot. Both tools bill by the second, so a failed take on either is the cost to plan for, not only the headline rate.
- Draft volume: Gen-4 Turbo at $0.05 a second, or Omni 360p at $0.0375 a second on Sume, are the cheap ends.
- Length: Runway Gen-4.5 stops at 10 seconds; Sume's Wan 3.0 row accepts 2 to 30.
- Sound: check each model's page before you assume audio is included.
