Plan prices and the dollar value of a credit sit on a JavaScript-only billing page.\n\n**Runway API.** OpenAPI 3.1, llms.txt and Markdown copies of every docs page. 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### PixVerse API\n\n1. Generate a new UUID for Ai-trace-id on every new submit. Reuse it only to fetch the same job again\n2. Poll the result endpoint. Status 1 is done, 5 generating, 7 moderation failure, 8 failed\n3. Moderate prompts before calling. Repeated status 7 results can suspend the key\n4. Use model v6 or c1 for new work. Older model tables still sit in the docs\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 PixVerse API or Runway API\n\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-runway.md)\n- [Google Veo vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-runway.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-runway.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-runway.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-runway.md)\n- [OpenAI Sora API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-sora-vs-pixverse.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 Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pika-vs-runway.md)\n- [PixVerse API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pixverse-vs-vidu.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": "PixVerse API vs Runway API", "url": "" } ], "description": "Runway API has a score of 61.1 (C) against PixVerse API's 42.8 (E).
