Use the current product identity
The Luma entry refers to current individual Plus, not legacy Dream Machine Lite. The Runway entry refers to Standard. Historical help pages can use older tier names, so confirm the product and selected monthly checkout before comparing prices.
Account and workspace scope
Current Luma Plus is recorded as an individual account plan with guest edit access visible on the supplied card. Runway Standard is a workspace quote. Neither fact on its own determines the number of paid team members you can include.
Compare tasks rather than credit totals
Luma’s and Runway’s native credits follow different generation tariffs. The allowance row cannot establish the number of matched videos or images. Resolution, duration, audio, model and retries need their own observed generation charges.
Billing flexibility
Compare the monthly offer first when experimenting with a new workflow. Annual equivalents and any upfront commitment should be checked separately. Both prepared monthly entries record expiry rather than subscription credit rollover; keep paid packs and promotions outside that generalisation.
