Gen-3 Alpha Turbo and Gen-4 Aleph were removed on 2026-07-30 with no prior notice in the changelog.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Pika API\n\n1. Call `GET /catalog/apis/{api_id}?expand=inputs` first. It's free and returns the path, schema and price\n2. Check GET /billing/balance before a submit. A 403 can mean an inactive key or an empty balance\n3. Send an Idempotency-Key on every submit, and a fresh one only when you change the body\n4. Record cost from `billing.charge_micro_usd` only once `billing.state` is settled\n\n### Runway API\n\n1. Send `X-Runway-Version: 2024-11-06` on every request or it fails\n2. Use the SDK's wait-for-output helper or poll GET /v1/tasks/{id} until SUCCEEDED or FAILED\n3. Don't retry a SAFETY.* failure unchanged. It's moderation, not an outage\n4. Take model IDs from the models page, not memory. Two were removed without notice on 2026-07-30\n5. Copy outputs to your own storage. URLs expire within 24 to 48 hours\n\n## Other comparisons with Pika API or Runway API\n\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-pika.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-runway.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-pika.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-runway.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-pika.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-runway.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-pika.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-runway.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-pika.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-runway.md)\n- [OpenAI Sora API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-sora-vs-pika.md)\n- [OpenAI Sora API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-sora-vs-runway.md)\n- [Pika API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pika-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Pika API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pika-vs-vidu.md)\n- [PixVerse API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pixverse-vs-runway.md)\n- [Runway API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/runway-vs-vidu.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-04", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Pika API vs Runway API", "url": "" } ], "description": "Runway API has a score of 61.1 (C) against Pika API's 47.8 (D).
