Wan 价格 / 入口
Open weights can be downloaded, but practical cost depends on GPU hardware or hosted inference. Commercial Alibaba/partner endpoints should be priced separately.
If exact public pricing is not listed here, treat it as provisional and check the linked source before publishing a cost claim.

价格事实
- Self-hosting costHardware-dependent; S2V examples note high VRAM requirements.
Runway Gen 价格 / 入口
Runway uses subscriptions, plan-gated features, and API usage. Changelog states Gen-4.5 was available on paid plans; exact credit prices require a live pricing scrape.

外部评分
Fallback scores, SEO/web authority signals, GitHub status, and preset editorial winners are shown with caveats.
| Signal | Wan | Runway Gen |
|---|---|---|
| Fallback score | 87 Wan appears in Artificial Analysis and Arena snapshots, and the open repository/paper provide reproducible public evidence.; professional score is provisional/evidence pending unless backed by scoring JSON. | 87 Runway has mature product evidence and public leaderboard presence; exact current model rank needs live leaderboard collection.; professional score is provisional/evidence pending unless backed by scoring JSON. |
| SEO / web authority | Reachability collected; third-party authority metrics pending. | Reachability collected; third-party authority metrics pending. |
| GitHub / open source | Wan2.2 publishes code and model weights with Apache-2.0 repository licensing shown by GitHub repository metadata. | Runway-native Gen model weights are not open. |
| Comparison preset | Open 权重 Benchmarking; 开发者 工作流; Image To Video; Open 模型 Ecosystem; MoE Video Diffusion Newer Wan 2.5/2.6/2.7 names need official release-page confirmation.; Open checkpoints can require high-memory GPUs. | Production 工作流; Image To Video; Video Editing; Gen 4.5 Frontier 模型; Image To Video For Gen 4.5 Runway now hosts third-party models, so benchmark pages must separate Runway-native models from hosted models.; Some features are plan-gated. |
到底该选哪个？
- Wan best-fit workflows: Wanopen-weight benchmarking, developer workflows, image-to-video
- Runway Gen best-fit workflows: Runwayproduction workflows, image-to-video, video editing
- Score-backed shortlist pick: WanScores are close (87.4 vs 86.6), so run a prompt-level test for the exact use case.
