runwayml.com vs replicate.com

Both are fortress products with identical scores, but Runway's massive creator network and trained model weights give it a stickier moat than Replicate's more commoditized API wrapper—so Runway's marginally harder to genuinely displace.

Runway (runwayml.com)

10clone difficulty

moat 10~1 day for the marketing site alone; the full product is multi-year, multi-million-dollar R&D (not a "build," a research program)$500–2k for landing page clone; $50M+ and years for the real product (GPU training runs, research team, infra)

You can clone the homepage in an afternoon; you cannot clone a $5.3B foundation-model company with a prompt.
