The first reason to leave Maxfusion AI is the entry price: plans start at $99 per month with no free plan, so you cannot test without paying. Credits are a fixed monthly amount that does not scale with demand, account sign-up is required, and its privacy and docs pages were unavailable, so data terms could not be verified.
Runway generates and edits video, images and audio, with a free tier and Standard at $15 per month for 625 credits with no rollover. Kling AI is a video and image generator without a free plan in our data; Standard is reported at about $10 per month for 660 credits, from a third-party source. Synthesia is built around avatar video, with a free tier and Starter at $29 per month billed monthly for 1,200 credits and 10 minutes of video. All three start well below $99, but none is described as an ad research workspace with 300+ actors and MCP access.

Runway and Synthesia have free tiers in our catalog. Kling AI is listed without a free plan, and Maxfusion has none.
The documented reasons are the $99 entry price, the fixed monthly credit amount and the absence of a free plan.
Kling AI at about $10 per month (reported), then Runway Standard at $15 and Synthesia Starter at $29 billed monthly.
Not according to our data, which lists no MCP access for them. Maxfusion lists MCP and public API access on Starter.
