Monthly platform credits for AI creators producing standout visuals, tutorials and technical explainers, plus real cash bonuses for your best work.

Overview

What is the Runware Creator Program?

The Runware Creator Program backs the people building the next wave of AI content. If you create AI-generated images, videos, or educational content, the program funds your work with Runware platform credits in exchange for featuring Runware in what you publish.

Runware is one API for all AI: image, video, audio, 3D, and LLMs, running on infrastructure we built ourselves. That means frontier models at the lowest cost on the market, so the credits you earn stretch into far more generations than they would anywhere else, and you can experiment without watching a meter.

The lowest-cost AI API

Runware runs on our own Sonic Inference Engine, delivering frontier models at the lowest cost on the market. Your credits go further here than on any other platform.

400,000+ models, one API

Image, video, audio, 3D, and LLMs through a single integration. Whatever your audience wants to see next, the model is already here.

Curated collections

Hand-curated model collections across every modality help you find the right model fast and test it in the Playground before you commit.

Runware credits fuel your content and give you a frontier toolkit to create with; your audience discovers what they can build on Runware. The better your work performs, the more we invest in it.

Commitments

What we ask of you

Once accepted, creators must:

  • Regularly produce original content using the Runware platform (images, videos, workflows, tutorials, or showcases)
  • Create their own original work so no reposts, compilations, or AI-slop with no creative input
  • Ensure each piece visibly attributes Runware by tagging @runware, including "runware.ai" in the caption/description, and verbally mentioning Runware in video content
  • Not feature a direct Runware competitor in the same post or video
  • Not misrepresent Runware's capabilities or make false claims about outputs
Rewards

What your reach is worth

Pro tier, one month of full engagement
$3,000

The $500 Pro starting credit, plus five bonus-qualifying posts at $500 each in a single month, an example of what the top tier is worth to a creator posting consistently.

Accepted creators receive an initial credit allocation based on their audience size.

On top of your credits, we pay real cash for content that performs. When a piece you've created through the program hits an engagement milestone, you earn a bonus in real money, not more credits. At the top tier it can match your starting credits and double the value of the program:

All 5 planned posts clear the 500+ likes or shares needed for a bonus, regardless of tier.

CreditsCredits are allocated to your account upon acceptance and are available to use across the Runware platform immediately. As your balance is consumed, Runware will periodically review your content activity to assess eligibility for a top-up. Reviews consider whether posting requirements are being met, whether Runware is being properly attributed, and whether the content meets program standards. Top-ups are not automatic and are issued at Runware's discretion based on demonstrated program participation.

BonusesBonuses are not automatic. All qualifying posts go through a manual review before any payout is issued. Runware reserves the right to withhold bonuses if there is any indication of artificial or inauthentic engagement, at its sole discretion.
