What a second costs on Runware
Runware (runware.ai) lists a per-second figure against each video model it carries, from $0.04 on FLUX 3 Video to $0.12 on LTX-2.5 Pro. Several cells show a struck-through figure beside a lower one and a saving in per cent, so two prices are published for the same second. As of 2026-09-22.

2Two figures in one cell, and the ledger keeps both
Where a discount is running, the cell prints the original, then the discounted number, then a saving expressed as a rough percentage. On the MiniMax H3 Max row that reads as five cents reduced to two and a half. Recording only the lower figure would make this channel look permanently cheaper than the pages it resells; recording only the higher one would charge a buyer for a discount the page is offering them.
So the row carries the discounted figure with the list price named beside it. A promotional rate is a real price while it runs and an unreliable basis for a season budget, and the only honest way to show that is to print both and date the reading.
3Variants of one family, priced a third apart
Two rows here are the same Wan generation, standard and Prime, at five cents and just under seven. A third of a cost increase for a variant name is the sort of step a comparison built from one figure per vendor cannot see at all, and it is larger than the gap between this channel's Wan row and two of the other channels selling the same family.
The same pattern repeats on the LTX rows, where Fast and Pro differ by a third. On this page the decision that moves a budget is which variant, not which vendor, and that is only visible because the page prints the variants separately instead of publishing a band.
4What the price page leaves for somebody else to answer
No maximum clip length appears against any model, so the column stays empty. Nothing states whether a refused or failed generation is charged. Neither absence is unusual here, and neither is filled in from documentation written for a different surface.
The models on this list are other companies' work, which means the same second is sold by at least three sellers in this register at three prices. That is a fact about the market and not an error in any of the rows: each seller sets its own figure, and each figure is recorded against the seller whose page prints it.
