Runner AI is a fit for first-time store owners and dropshippers who want to describe a store, preview it free, and pay a small per-sale fee that falls on higher plans.
Runner AI charges twice: a monthly plan and a fee on each sale. Free is $0 with no card, 150 starting credits, up to 20 products and a 3.5% Runner fee per sale. Plus is $25 per month with 1,000 credits, one always-on published store, your own domain without the Runner badge and a 2% fee. Pro is $49 per month with 2,500 credits and a 1.5% fee, and Max is $159 per month with 10,000 credits and a 1% fee.
The plan page says annual billing saves 20%, but it is unclear whether the displayed prices are monthly or annual rates, so check the toggle before paying. Prices checked on 2026-09-29.
