Questions about Endless and Runway
Is Runway better for video?
For video production and editing, Runway offers more than Endless: its own models, an edit studio and plugins for editing apps. Endless runs video models from several makers, next to chat, image and audio.
How do the team plans differ?
Runway’s Team plan is priced per seat for 2 to 9 people, and each seat adds credits to a shared pool. Endless doesn’t charge per seat: the whole workspace draws from one credit balance, with spending limits per person and team.
Do both have an API and an MCP server?
Yes. Runway’s developer API is paid from its own credit balance, and its MCP server comes with the Pro plan and above. Endless’s MCP server works on every plan, and its REST API is part of the Business plan.
Does Runway have a free plan?
Yes, a one-time grant of credits to try it. Endless’s free plan renews its credit allowance; the amount is on the pricing page.
