Our verdict: Runway
Ideal for marketers and agencies who want broadcast-quality AI video without a studio. Not if your need is limited to classic editing, CapCut will cost less. The Free plan (125 unique credits) lets you seriously test before buying.
Our verdict: Sora
Sora suits users already subscribed to ChatGPT Plus who want to add video without changing tools. Quality is good but not the best on the market against Kling or Runway. Uncertainty about the API service in 2026 makes it risky for critical integrations.
