Higgsfield

A single place to run many image and video models on one credit balance. That is useful if you want to try several models without several accounts. The cost is that the monthly price tells you little about your bill: a clip’s credits depend on the model and its length. Our own test on 12 Nov: a 13-second 720p clip on Wan 2.7 cost 19.5 credits, about 1.5 credits a second. At Basic ($9 for 120 credits) that is roughly $0.11 a second. That is our measurement on one model, not a price from the page.

Runway

One company’s own models, with prices that convert straight to seconds. At Standard on yearly billing, $12 for 52 seconds of Gen-4.5 is about $0.23 a second (our arithmetic from the page’s own figures). It has a free plan, so you can look at the output before paying.

How to choose

  • You want to compare several models in one place: Higgsfield’s one balance suits that. Check which models your plan includes (Basic is “selected models only”).
  • You want to know what a second of video costs before you start: Runway prints it.
  • You want to test for nothing: only Runway lists a free plan.
  • You need our own audio to drive a talking face: we got this to work on Higgsfield with one model (Wan 2.7) and not with another (Seedance Mini). We have not rendered the same clip on Runway, so we cannot say which looks better. See how we make our daily videos.

Before you decide

  • Both pages show dollar prices. Higgsfield says its prices exclude VAT and local taxes, added at checkout; check the rupee total there. We have not confirmed rupee billing or a GST invoice for either.
  • Higgsfield’s sale price can end. The page showed a countdown on 13 November 2026.
  • We do not rate tools. We use Higgsfield, so read this with that in mind; the Runway figures come straight from its page.
