When Runway may still be the better choice
We believe in honesty. Here is where they have an edge.
If you need Runway's built-in video editor with keyframing, motion brush, and inpainting — those tools don't exist on FairStack
If you need Gen-4.5 or Runway's latest proprietary models not yet available via third-party API
If your team relies on Runway's editing and collaboration workflow
