A Closer Look at Genmo's Replay, Runway's Gen-2 & Pika
Total reading time is about 4 minutes.
A revolution is taking place in video creation, spearheaded by cutting-edge AI tools, and we’ve seen a huge improvement in the capability of GenmoAI, RunwayML’s Gen-2, and Pika’s animation features.
I’m excited about the improving text-to-video and image-to-video technology. I never thought I would make video content, but I am learning how to generate many different types of animation for multiple platforms.
Now, you can do it too.
Genmo Updates Replay Video Tool

Comparing Runway Gen-2, Pika, and Genmo
Which video tool works best?
It depends on what you are trying to create and your preferences.
Each one allows you to upload a starting image to animate, generate a new image, or a combination of an uploaded image plus a text prompt.
Other features to consider when comparing these tools:
Camera/motion controls:
Pika, Genmo, and Runway’s Gen-2 have the ability to control angles, speed, and rotation.
Video length:
Pika - 3 seconds
Genmo - 6 seconds
Runway - 18 seconds (each video is 4 seconds and can be extended 4 times, but quality and composition are difficult to maintain after the first extension.
User interface/app:
Pika is only available in Discord.
Gen-2 and Genmo exist on their individual brand platforms.
Price:
Pika is free for everyone.
Genmo’s free plan includes unlimited video generation and a paid option for unlimited fast generation.
Runway has a limited free plan and requires a paid subscription for continued use.
Here is a comparison of each one with the same starting image:
