Runway
AI video generation and editing studio, billed in US dollars
Visit website →About
Runway is a web studio for generating and editing video with AI: text to video, image to video, lip sync, upscaling and a set of image and audio tools around them. Work is metered in credits.
As of October 2026 the Free plan gives 125 one-time credits. Standard is $15 a month ($12 on annual billing) with 625 monthly credits, Pro is $35 with 2,250 credits, and Max is $95 with 9,500. All prices are in US dollars and the pricing page carries no tax note.
Runway states that Stripe is its billing provider. Its help centre lists credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and several other wallets, and adds that not all payment methods are available in all locations. Nothing Gulf-specific is documented, so plan on an international card.

Why we picked it
Runway is the reference point for AI video, and it represents a whole class of web-only tools in our payments guide: dollar pricing, Stripe checkout, wallets that may or may not appear in the Gulf. We list it so readers know in advance that an international card is the only documented way in.
