Dreamina vs Runway
Both handle creative shorts, product and ad content. Below we compare only what the official sites publish: prices, annual billing, models and credit rules. We don't judge whose output is better — we have no side-by-side samples to publish, so it would be a guess.
Which to choose, and when
- To try one month on monthly billing: both cheapest plans are $15/mo (Dreamina Basic, Runway Standard), so the entry price does not separate them.
- If you want Seedance 2.0 Fast: both offer it. We only have an exact official rate for it on Runway, so only there can you work out a month's seconds before paying.
- If you plan to subscribe inside the iPhone app: we have no Dreamina in-app prices to compare with its website; Runway costs the same in the app as on its website. Compared at US prices, which exclude tax on both sides.
There is no "better overall" verdict. Each point above fits one situation; choose by whichever matters most in yours.

Credit rules
Dreamina
Credits are given monthly. Advanced lets you choose among several credit amounts; the one recorded here is the site's default.
Runway
Standard and Pro credits reset every month; Max carries unused credits into the next month. Rules last confirmed on Sep 14, 2026.
Credits are not a shared currency: one Dreamina credit and one Runway credit buy different things, so the counts cannot be compared directly.
