3 videos per month, each capped at 1 minute, on the US$0/month free plan; the quota is counted in videos, not credits (the official FAQ confirms again: The Free plan includes up to 3 videos per month, no credit card required). Quality up to 1080P (4K needs Pro or above), processing at the slowest Standard speed. Assets available: 500+ built-in avatars, 1,000+ AI voices, 75+ video templates, 1 custom avatar, 1 voice clone, up to 3 photo avatars, 30+ languages (paid plans get 175). Avatar IV and Video Agent are accessible but still bound by the 1-minute limit; video translation is likewise capped at 1 minute per video. 1 seat. The official feature table lists remove watermark from Creator upwards and leaves that row unticked for the free plan, so free-plan output carries a HeyGen watermark. The free plan has no monthly credit allowance and is not eligible for credit rollover. What happens after the 3 videos are used, and commercial rights on the free plan, are not explained on the official site. The quota resets monthly.

A one-time 125 credits, US$0/month; the plan is called Free and the official site labels it Free forever. The core quota is a one-time 125 credits, not a monthly grant; the official FAQ says these 125 credits never expire, but they also never reset, so once they are gone the only way to generate more is to upgrade or buy credits (top-ups start at 1,000 credits). Asset storage 5GB. Only some generative models are included for testing concepts, not the full model line-up. What 125 credits actually buys, using the site's own conversion figures: Gen-4.5 costs 60 credits per 5 seconds, Gen-4 Image 1080p 8 credits per image, Turbo 2 credits per image, which is roughly 2 five-second Gen-4.5 clips, or 15 images. The official site lists No watermarks and 4K upscaling from Standard upwards, and those two rows are not listed for the free plan. Commercial-use rights for the free plan are not explained on the pricing page. (Read from runway.com/pricing including the on-page FAQ on 2026-08-09)
