The Agency Verdict

Runway is a solid tool — leading text-to-video and image-to-video quality and professional video editing tools built in. For individual creators or established enterprise teams, it can absolutely justify its cost. But for marketing agencies doing project-based work, the math gets painful fast.

With Runway at $28/mo (Standard), a 10-person agency pays Teams from $76/mo for 3 seats; credits shared. That cost scales with every new hire and doesn't flex with workload — you pay the same whether it's a slow week or a sprint. Credits often cap your output mid-project, forcing awkward conversations with clients.

Incudo's credit-based model solves this. Your whole agency runs on one plan — unlimited seats — and you pay for AI output, not headcount. Credits roll over so nothing is wasted. When a big campaign hits, you buy more credits. When things slow down, you're not burning cash on unused seats. It's the pricing model agencies have always needed.
