The condition printed beside Runware's rates

Runware's rate table mostly prints one figure per model. On one model the cell reads five cents struck through, then two and a half cents, labelled as saving about half. The condition is expressed as a price tag rather than a stated rule. As of 2026-09-22.

Fig. 1 Discounted, the resale undercuts that model's maker by more than three times, which is not a sustainable steady state whatever the page says.

How Runware's table marks a discount, and the unmarked rates around it. Read from model price page on 2026-09-22.
What is published	As the model price page states it
The marked cell	Five cents struck through, then two and a half cents, labelled Save about half
What the label does not say	Whether the reduced figure has an end date or a condition
Unmarked rates on the same table	Two and a half to twelve cents a second by model and variant
Longest single generation	Absent from the page carrying the rates

Inclusion rule. Cells on the model price page carrying a discount marking, with the surrounding unmarked figures for scale. A discount stated in words elsewhere would be a separate row. Order. The marked cell first, then the context around it.

1Where Runware sits in this column

Fig. 2 The condition each of these channels prints beside its own rate, Runware marked. Two are discounts a buyer can reach, two are warnings that the figure moves. Recorded 2026-09-22.

Condition on the figure, as each channel answering it has it, with Runware marked. Recorded 2026-09-22.
Channel	Condition on the figure
Runware	A struck-through cell on one model
Sora	Half price on the batch tier
Vidu	Half price off peak
WaveSpeed AI	Every figure may move with settings

Inclusion rule. Channels that print a condition on the same page as the rate: a discount, a tier or a statement that the figure varies. A bare figure with nothing attached is not listed. Order. Alphabetical by channel name.

2A struck-through price is a promotion pretending to be a rate

The reduced figure is the one a buyer pays today and the original is the one the shop wants remembered. Neither has a date attached, so a budget built on the lower number has an unpriced risk in it: the discount can end without any page changing in a way a reader would notice.

This register records the cell as it is printed, both halves. Recording only the reduced figure would put a promotional price beside unconditional ones; recording only the struck-through figure would overstate what a buyer pays now.

3The discount lands on the model where it changes the ranking

Two and a half cents a second is the cheapest figure on this table and among the cheapest anywhere in the register, and it is a model whose source publishes eight cents for the nearest tier. Discounted, the resale undercuts the maker by more than three times.

That is the most interesting thing a condition can do. Undercutting a source by a margin that large is not a sustainable steady state, which is a reason to treat the figure as temporary even though nothing on the page says so.

4Everything else on the table is a single unmarked figure

Five cents for one family, nine and twelve cents for two variants of another, four cents for a third, ten and a quarter for a fourth. Those are plain rates with no markings, which makes the one struck-through cell conspicuous rather than typical.

A table that marks its promotions is more honest than one that quietly lowers a number. The gap in both cases is the same: no page in this register states how long a rate is good for, so every figure here is dated by the day it was read rather than by the seller.

5The production behind the price

Price aside, what goes into the seconds behind “Runware price condition” is described in SceneMixer's guides:

The base image is the sword as carried; drawn is a separate state image, selected for the segments where it applies. Drawing both configurations in one picture used to make the render snap the blade back into its scabbard mid-shot.
SceneMixer, AI Prop & Item Generator — “How do I show a sword being drawn?” (read 2026-10-13)

The shot seconds in the storyboard add up to the segment length, so editing them changes it.
