Our verdict

Choose Runway when generative video clips are the job — not Midjourney stills and not an LLM chat. Compare Midjourney if stills (with some video) are enough; Firefly if Adobe video credits fit the stack. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-18 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, usage caps and credit rates on the vendor site before purchase.
