Equipping a creative team with generative AI tools requires navigating different billing architectures. The Runway Team plan is priced per seat at $69 per seat per month on monthly billing, or $55 per seat per month when billed yearly (a 20% discount), designed for groups of two to nine people. On the ElevenLabs pricing page, team collaboration and workspace seats are included on the Scale plan at $299 per month for 3 workspace seats (or an equivalent monthly price of $249.17 on annual billing). On the Magnific pricing page, plans that include Brand Kit and Spaces access are priced in euros, starting at €15 per month (or €10.50 per month billed annually) for Premium and €34 per month (or €25.50 per month billed annually) for Premium+, with credits valid for 1 year and no monthly resets.

Creative teams budgeting multi-seat software subscriptions must evaluate seat minimums, credit allocations, rollover policies, and tax treatment across video, voice, and image platforms.

Understanding the Three Seat Architectures: Per-Seat, Bundled Workspaces, and Credit Pools

Collaboration across these three platforms is structured through three distinct pricing models:

  1. Additive per-seat pools (Runway): Each seat added to a Team workspace adds 6,900 credits per month to a single shared workspace pool.

  2. Workspace seats (ElevenLabs): The Scale plan ($299 per month) lists 3 workspace seats and the Business plan ($990 per month) lists 10 workspace seats.

  3. Annual credit allowances (Magnific): Paid subscription plans provide annual credit allotments (such as 240,000 credits per year on Premium and 600,000 credits per year on Premium+) that remain valid for 1 year with no monthly resets.

Runway Team Plan Cost per Seat: Per-Seat Billing and Video Brand Kits

According to the Runway Team plan, Runway provides a self-serve per-seat pricing model for small groups. The Team plan is designed for teams of two to nine people who collaborate in a single workspace.

Pricing and Credit Allocations

The Runway Team plan costs $69 per seat per month on monthly billing, or $55 per seat per month when billed yearly, which reflects a 20% discount. A workspace owner can start with two seats and add additional seats as needed.

Every seat provisioned on a Runway Team workspace includes:

  • 6,900 monthly generation credits: Credits are added to a single shared workspace pool the moment a seat is added.

  • One month of credit rollover: Unused credits in the shared pool roll over for one month.

  • Up to 100 Brand Kits: Shared brand assets to keep video ads, variants, and localized campaigns consistent.

  • Up to 100 shared projects and 1 TB of workspace storage: Centralized storage for project assets.

  • Workspace collaboration tools: Frame-accurate commenting with user mentions, 20 shared agent skills, Agent Connectors for Figma, Dropbox, and Notion, 24 parallel generations, API access, and priority support.

Individual Runway Plans vs. Team Tier

On the individual tiers detailed on the Runway pricing page, Brand Kit allowances are limited. The individual Standard plan ($15 monthly, or $12 per month billed annually) does not include Brand Kits. The Pro plan ($35 monthly, or $28 per month billed annually) includes 1 Brand Kit and 1 custom voice clone. The Max plan ($95 monthly, or $76 per month billed annually) includes up to 3 Brand Kits and up to 3 custom voice clones.

For creative teams managing multiple brands or client accounts, the individual plans restrict brand assets. Upgrading to the Team plan expands workspace capacity to up to 100 Brand Kits and allows up to nine members to generate from a pooled credit balance.

ElevenLabs Workspace Pricing: Bundled Tiers for Voice Identity

In audio production, brand consistency centers on vocal identity. ElevenLabs provides voice consistency through Professional Voice Cloning, which creates synthetic voices suitable for brand narration.

Workspace Tiers and Seat Minimums

According to the official ElevenLabs pricing page, entry-level individual tiers do not include multi-user workspace seats:

  • Free: $0 per month (10,000 monthly credits, 3 Projects in Studio).

  • Starter: $6 per month ($1 for the first month; 30,000 monthly credits, Instant Voice Cloning).

  • Creator: $22 per month ($11 for the first month; 121,000 monthly credits, 1 Professional Voice Clone).

  • Pro: $99 per month (600,000 monthly credits, 1 Professional Voice Clone).

To access shared workspace seats and team collaboration features, businesses must subscribe to tiers listed under the business section:

  • Scale Plan: Costs $299 per month on monthly billing. It includes 3 workspace seats, team collaboration, 3 Professional Voice Clones, and 1,800,000 monthly credits. On annual billing, ElevenLabs charges for 10 months (two months free), yielding an equivalent monthly price of $249.17.

  • Business Plan: Costs $990 per month on monthly billing. It includes 10 workspace seats, 10 Professional Voice Clones, 6,000,000 monthly credits, and low-latency text-to-speech as low as 5 cents per minute. On annual billing, the equivalent monthly price is $825.

  • Enterprise Plan: Custom pricing with custom credits and seat limits.

Individual seat add-ons outside these fixed seat allotments are not published on the page.

Credit Allocations and Rollover Rules

All ElevenLabs products draw from a single shared monthly credit pool. ElevenLabs states that unused credits roll over for up to two months on paid subscriptions, capped at up to 2x the monthly quota, allowing an account balance to reach at most 3x the monthly allotment. Downgrading or cancelling forfeits unused credits at the end of the billing cycle.

In addition, ElevenLabs explicitly notes that published prices exclude all taxes, levies, and duties.

Magnific Pricing: Shared Spaces and Credit Allowances

Magnific (formerly Freepik) provides AI image upscaling, enhancement, and generation. On the Magnific pricing page, subscription prices are listed in euros (€) and exclude VAT and local taxes. Annual subscriptions receive a 25% discount compared to monthly billing.

Self-Serve Plans and Credit Validity

Magnific offers three self-serve plans that include Brand Kit and Spaces access:

  1. Premium Plan:

    • Monthly billing: €15 per month.

    • Annual billing: €10.50 per month (billed annually).

    • Credit allotment: 240,000 credits per year.

Character Training and Team Workspaces

On the Magnific pricing page, training AI characters costs 3,000 credits per character.

For collaboration, plans include Spaces, described on the page as a shared canvas built for workflows. The page also lists a Business plan for collaborative AI for growing teams, but specific seat counts, credit limits, and pricing for the Business tier are not published on the page.

Worked Examples: Multi-Seat Cost Scenarios

Runway Team Plan Calculation

Hypothetical: Imagine a video production agency provisions 3 seats on the Runway Team plan using annual billing. Assumptions: The agency purchases exactly 3 seats at the annual rate of $55 per seat per month without purchasing additional credits. Inputs: 3 seats and $55 per seat per month. Formula: 3 seats * $55 per seat per month = $165 per month. Result: The team pays $165 per month, receiving 20,700 pooled generation credits each month with one month of credit rollover.

ElevenLabs Scale Workspace Calculation

Hypothetical: Imagine a studio with 3 team members subscribes to ElevenLabs Scale to enable collaborative voice generation. Assumptions: The studio subscribes to the monthly Scale tier covering up to 3 workspace seats, without adding pay-as-you-go top-up credits. Inputs: A monthly subscription price of $299 and 3 included workspace seats. Formula: $299 total monthly fee / 3 workspace seats = $99.6666... rounded to $99.67 per seat per month. Result: The effective per-seat cost is $99.67 per month, providing the workspace with 1,800,000 monthly credits and 3 Professional Voice Clones.
