## Key features

- **Hosted open-source apps:** ComfyUI, Auto1111 and similar apps run on the vendor's cloud servers, so no local GPU is needed; they are included even on the free plan.
- **Premium image, video and editing tools:** Paid plans add premium tools, with the homepage naming models such as Z-Image, Flux 2, Nano Banana 2, LTX-2 and Seedream 5.0.
- **Runnit Boards:** Boards are canvases that hold tools and results; the number of boards and tools per board depends on the plan.
- **LoRA model training:** Paid plans include LoRA training; downloading the trained models starts on the Pro plan.
- **Design-software plugins:** Plugins connect RunDiffusion to Photoshop, Miro, Revit, Rhino and NVIDIA Omniverse.
- **Team and enterprise controls:** Team workspaces, usage analytics, budgeting, model access and spend limits, and SSO are described on the enterprise pages.

## Good for

- Running ComfyUI or Auto1111 without owning a GPU
- Architecture and design teams that work inside Revit, Rhino or Photoshop
- Users who want to try open-source tools free before paying

## Worth knowing

- Usage is metered in tokens, so how far a plan goes depends on the tools and server sizes used.
- Premium image, video and editing tools are not part of the Free plan.
- Persistent extensions, API mode and the $10 reward balance need Creators Club + Runnit Pro or higher.
- Free-plan files are kept for 72 hours.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. RunDiffusion hosts open-source apps such as ComfyUI and Auto1111, plus premium image, video and editing tools, on one token subscription.

- **Value for money: C.** Runnit Hobby is $8.79 a month billed yearly, $10.99 monthly, just above the cheaper quarter of AI image tools. Pro is $23.99 and the Team plan $179.99.

- **Features: C.** Hosted open-source apps, premium tools, boards, LoRA training and plugins. Metering by tokens makes the cost hard to predict.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace RunDiffusion you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $105.48 a year.

- You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Photoshop, Miro and Revit among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
