Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 63 of the 168 other AI image and video generators we grade
RunDiffusion is a cloud platform for AI image and video work. It hosts open-source apps such as ComfyUI and Auto1111 and a catalog of premium image, video and editing tools under one token-based subscription, with plugins for Photoshop, Miro, Revit, Rhino and NVIDIA Omniverse.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about RunDiffusion, taken from its own pages and our grades.

There is a free plan
Up to 100 free tokens a day, open-source apps such as ComfyUI and Auto1111, and 10 GB of storage kept for 72 hours.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
Runnit Boards
Boards are canvases that hold tools and results; the number of boards and tools per board depends on the plan.

A 2.2 GPA, above 63 of 168
That is against the other AI image and video generators we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

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.

The report card
Best for hosted ComfyUI and Auto1111 with premium tools
RunDiffusion hosts open-source apps such as ComfyUI and Auto1111, plus premium image, video and editing tools, on one token subscription. Free is up to 100 tokens a day with files kept for 72 hours, and Runnit Hobby starts at $8.79 a month on yearly billing. How far tokens go depends on the tool and server size.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Up to 100 tokens a day with the open-source apps and 10 GB kept for 72 hours. Premium tools aren't in it. |
| Features | C | Hosted open-source apps, premium tools, boards, LoRA training and plugins. Metering by tokens makes the cost hard to predict. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Hosted ComfyUI and Auto1111 take learning, though boards add an easier route. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with plugins for Photoshop, Miro, Revit, Rhino and NVIDIA Omniverse, and ComfyUI. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who RunDiffusion is for
- Fits if you want ComfyUI or Auto1111 without owning a graphics card
- Works for designers who want Photoshop or Rhino plugins
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 100 tokens a day and files gone after 72 hours
- Watch out: premium image, video and editing tools aren't on the free plan
- Watch out: API mode and persistent extensions start at Creators Club + Runnit Pro, $41.79 on yearly billing
- Skip it if you want a fixed bill, as tokens run out faster on larger servers
Good to know
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- It plugs into other products, Photoshop, Miro and Revit among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. RunDiffusion’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
