Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Runway and ClipDraft?
Runway (Runway ML) is a professional AI video studio aimed at filmmakers, agencies, and enterprise clients. The models (Gen-3 Alpha, Gen-4) are quality leaders — but API access costs $0.50–1.50/second and requires an enterprise contract. ClipDraft gives TikTok creators immediate access to AI-generated video without a contract, directly with TikTok API export.
Can I use Runway for daily TikTok videos?
Technically yes — but a daily 12-second video would cost $6–18/day with Runway, so $180–540/month. ClipDraft costs ~€30/month for the same volume. Additionally, Runway lacks TikTok draft integration: every video must be manually downloaded and uploaded.
When is Runway the better choice?
Runway is ideal for production studios, advertising agencies, and filmmakers who need the highest video quality and have the budget to pay for it. For solo TikTok creators or small creator agencies, ClipDraft's price-to-performance ratio is significantly better.
Is Runway available for individuals without an enterprise contract?
Runway offers a Standard plan from $35/month with limited credits for the web app. However, API access for custom applications is reserved for the enterprise program. ClipDraft users generate via API — this access is included from the start.
