Adobe Firefly: who it fits and who it does not
- Good for
- Teams that need images and video they can use commercially
- People who already work in Adobe apps
- Not for
- Anyone wanting unlimited video: video uses monthly generative credits
- Buyers who need US prices from us: we could only read local-currency prices
- The catch
- Clear commercial-use terms and image, video and audio in one place, but premium video and audio draw down monthly credits.

Runway: who it fits and who it does not
- Good for
- Creators and marketers making short videos from text or images
- Small teams testing many video ideas on credits
- Not for
- Anyone needing a fixed number of videos: each generation uses credits
- Teams of 10 or more: the Team plan covers 2 to 9 seats
- The catch
- Wide choice of video and image models with commercial rights, but everything runs on monthly credits that heavy use burns fast.
