Runneth is Motion's AI creative strategy teammate. It's a monthly add-on to your core Motion subscription. This article explains how Runneth is packaged, what each pack includes, what stays in your core Motion plan, and how usage works.
Note: For current pricing and any offer applied to your account, reach out to the Motion team or check your billing page in Motion. Pricing can vary by account, so we keep exact figures where they're always up to date rather than in this article.
How Runneth is packaged
Runneth is a monthly add-on. You always need an active core Motion plan to use it.
Pricing doesn't scale with your ad spend. It scales with how much you use Runneth, measured in usage. You add more capacity only if and when you need it.
Your base Runneth pack includes:
A private virtual machine (VM) and the Brain – Runneth's long-term memory for your organization
Runneth as your AI teammate in the Motion web app and in Slack
The native integrations library, including Slack
Secure secret storage for setting up your own private integrations
Hosting for custom apps Runneth builds for you
An included allotment of credit usage each billing cycle
Some integrations connect instantly, while others ask for credentials (such as an API key or client ID) the first time you set them up. (See Getting started with Runneth 🐸)
What is the virtual machine (VM)?
When you add Runneth, we spin up a private virtual machine for your organization. Think of it as Runneth's own dedicated computer, running just for you.
The VM is what lets Runneth actually do work rather than only chat. It's where Runneth runs analysis, builds reports and apps, holds your connected integrations and stored credentials, and keeps the Brain, its memory of your brand, preferences, and past work. Because the VM is private to your organization, your data and connections stay isolated to your own environment.
The VM is provisioned automatically when Runneth is added to your account.
Runneth and your core Motion plan
Runneth is an add-on. Your existing core Motion features are unaffected by adding or removing Runneth, and removing Runneth never changes your core plan.
How usage work
Usage measure how much work Runneth is doing for you. It's a monthly amount drawn down whenever Runneth is working.
Some messages and conversations use more than others, depending on how much data and context Runneth needs and how much reasoning is involved. As a rough guide, most chats use a small amount, while larger operations use more.
At the start of each monthly billing cycle you receive your full usage allotment. As you use Runneth, it draws that total down. If you reach 100%, Runneth pauses until your next billing cycle or until you add more usage.
Note: Usage doesn't roll over. Your allotment resets at the start of each cycle, and unused amounts don't carry forward.
If you need more usage
If you're running low, you can add more usage capacity to your subscription. You can add as much as you need, and packs can be added or removed from your monthly subscription at any time. If you expect to need a lot of additional capacity, reach out to the Motion team and we'll help you find the right setup.
You can add a usage pack to your subscription in-app:
Click the icon in the bottom left
Click on Runneth usage
Next to Runneth packs click on Manage
Add at least 1 usage pack to your subscription and click Confirm upgrade
Runneth during the Motion trial
Runneth isn't included in the Motion free trial by default. If you add Runneth usage during your trial, your core Motion trial is extended.
