The short version

- Each has a real cost: Loomly starter plan caps at 12 social accounts and 3 users; unlimited users require the Beyond plan at $332 per month billed monthly; Runway the free tier is 125 one-time credits rather than a monthly allowance, so it runs out and does not refill

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Loomly
- Starter plan caps at 12 social accounts and 3 users; unlimited users require the Beyond plan at $332 per month billed monthly
- Yearly plans are charged upfront with a 12-month commitment and no early termination option
- Enterprise-level access above 60 social accounts is quote only
- Downgrades only take effect at the end of the current billing cycle, so an unwanted higher tier is billed through its term
Runway
- The free tier is 125 one-time credits rather than a monthly allowance, so it runs out and does not refill
- Outputs carry a watermark until the Standard plan at $12 a month
- Everything is metered in credits, and Gen-4.5 video costs 60 credits per 5 seconds, so a Standard plan covers roughly 125 short videos a year
- Only the Max plan at $76 a month rolls unused credits over, and only for one month
- The free tier gives a selection of models rather than the full set
