A Runway alternative where unused credits roll over

Thague has 58 video models, including Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.5 and Veo 3.1, with credits that carry over and plans from $4.99.

For making clips with the leading video models, Thague has 58 of them, including Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.5, with credits that roll over. For video-to-video editing and pro output formats, Runway's own tools are hard to beat.
Do Runway credits roll over?

Is there a free Runway alternative?
Thague has no free plan, but new members can try Starter free for a day with 500 credits, enough for a Kling v3 Standard clip with some left over.
How much does Thague cost?
Starter is $4.99 a month with 500 credits (new members can try it free for a day with 500 credits), Pro is $18 a month with 2,500 credits and Pro Plus is $68 a month with 4,500. Credits cost what the generator charges (100 credits = $1), and unused credits roll over up to three months' worth.
Can I use the same models I used on Runway?
Often, yes. Thague has 80+ image models and 58 video models from many makers, including Nano Banana, GPT Image, Seedream, Flux, Ideogram and Recraft for images and Veo 3.1, Kling, Seedance, Hailuo, PixVerse, Pika, Vidu and Wan for video. You pick the model for each run.
What happens if a generation fails?
Its credits are refunded automatically. Every image, edit and video is priced before it starts, so you always see the cost first.

No. Your prompts and history are kept in your own browser, there's no public gallery, and the server removes finished jobs a day after they finish.
