Siren vs Runway
Runway makes generative video with its own frontier models: cinematic clips, images, upscales, sound, plus a developer API and MCP. Siren makes something narrower: product videos in motion design, with your logo, colours, words and screens, rendered the same way every time.
The cut
Pick Runway for cinematic generated footage and creative experiments. Pick Siren for a product launch video your buyers recognise as yours.
