Our honest take
The AI video tool with a working program — after Pictory went one-time and Play.ht died outright, flat-but-real beats nothing. The code-based attribution means you must say 'use my code' out loud in content. No follower gate makes it one of the few AI programs a brand-new creator can join day one.

Runway — questions
Is Runway legit?
Runway is a real product from Runway with its own checkout — check their current refund terms before buying. Legit ≠ worth it for you, though: weigh the cons above against where you actually are. Our score: 3/5.
Why does Make Money HQ link with affiliate links?
Because it keeps the directory free and independent. The commission comes out of the vendor's side, not your price. We'd rather be transparent and keep your trust — it's the only asset a directory has.
