Runway added a time-limited offer to its Enterprise plan: two months of usage free for anyone who signs by October 31, 2026. The self-serve Free, Standard, Pro, and Max plans are unchanged.
What Changed
Our observatory flagged a new line on Runway's pricing page during the week of 2026-W42. We re-checked the live page on 2026-10-12 to confirm it.
| Before (observatory crawl, week 2026-W42) | Now (verified 2026-10-12, runway.com/pricing) | |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise offer | No promotional line on the pricing page | "Enterprises get 2 months of usage free. Sign by 10/31." |
| Free plan | $0 | $0 — unchanged |
| Standard plan | $12/mo (billed annually, -20% off $15/mo) | $12/mo (billed annually, -20% off $15/mo) — unchanged |
| Pro plan | $28/mo (billed annually, -20% off $35/mo) | $28/mo (billed annually, -20% off $35/mo) — unchanged |
| Max plan | $76/mo (billed annually, -20% off $95/mo) | $76/mo (billed annually, -20% off $95/mo) — unchanged |
| Enterprise plan | Custom pricing, no stated promo | Custom pricing, now with the 2-months-free offer above |
This is a promotional addition, not a list-price change: Free, Standard, Pro, and Max keep the same prices. Only the Enterprise tier — which is already custom-quoted — gained a time-boxed incentive.
Who's Affected
- Companies currently negotiating an Enterprise contract with Runway. Signing before 2026-10-31 adds two months of usage at no charge, on top of whatever volume the custom quote covers.
- Companies evaluating Runway for a team rollout who haven't started a sales conversation yet. The deadline gives roughly three weeks (from 2026-10-12) to start and close a conversation with Runway's sales team to qualify.
- Individual creators and small teams on Free, Standard, Pro, or Max. No change — this offer applies to the Enterprise tier only.
What to Do
- Already talking to Runway sales about an Enterprise deal: ask explicitly whether the 2-months-free offer applies to your quote and get it in writing before 2026-10-31 — the pricing page does not state what happens to deals that start before the deadline but close after it.
- Considering Enterprise but haven't contacted sales: start the conversation now. The pricing page gives no indication of what the offer reverts to after 10/31.
- On Free, Standard, Pro, or Max: no action needed, your plan and price are unchanged.
Runway states the deadline and the offer but not what happens to deals that straddle it — that kind of unanswered edge case is exactly what Clawnilab's 10-point landing-page clarity grid is built to flag; a page that goes silent on an edge case scores the same way as one that goes silent on who it's for.
Alternatives
Runway's Enterprise tier competes with other AI video platforms that also sell custom/enterprise plans. These tools overlap with Runway mainly for teams evaluating AI video generation broadly — Synthesia and HeyGen are built around AI avatars and talking-head video, while Runway's core product is generative text-to-video and image-to-video; see our comparison of Sora vs Runway vs Synthesia vs HeyGen for the feature breakdown.
