What each generator documents about marking its output

A free plan that states its mark, and no free plan

One entry's free plan states that it includes the vendor's watermark. The other publishes no free plan at all, so the question has no subject and the cell is empty for a third kind of reason. As of 2026-09-22.

Four reasons a free-tier cell is not a sentenceA free-tier value can be a sentence the vendor wrote, a line read off the layout of a grid, a default with no plan attached, or a blank because no free plan is published. These two entries occupy the first and the last, and a single dash would hide the difference.What does the page say about free outputA sentence in the freeplan's own listStatedThe watermark is printedas something the free planincludes.

Inclusion rule. One row per question on which these two entries can be compared from their own published pages. Questions neither vendor addresses are left out rather than filled with a dash. Order. Fixed order: the mechanism first, then who holds it, then what it leaves behind.

1Two cells at opposite ends of one column

The free-tier column holds four kinds of answer and these two entries occupy the extremes. One is a sentence in a free plan's own feature list, which is the sturdiest evidence on the site: nothing to decode, nothing inherited, no empty column to interpret. The other is a structural blank, because the pricing page begins at a paid plan.

Between them sit the omission rows, where a free plan exists and the marking line appears only against the paid columns. A register that printed a single dash for every unfilled cell would lose the distinction between a vendor with no free plan and a vendor whose free plan is undescribed.

2What follows for inherited footage

One of these products has no free tier, so every file it ever produced came from a subscription whose feature list says No watermark. There is no population of marked material for a later project to inherit and no contributor question to settle.

The other produces marked files continuously and says so. That is better documentation and a worse situation: a reader knows exactly what free output carries, and free output exists in quantity. The two rows are therefore not comparable as quality of disclosure, which is the trap in reading this column as a scoreboard.

3Where each vendor becomes unreadable

The candid free plan sits on a page whose plan prices are not present as text, so the crossing point can be named and not quoted. The vendor with no free plan prints two figures for its single tier, twenty-five billed annually and twenty-nine billed monthly. Unusual candour and unusual opacity, one each, in different columns.

Both record not documented for file contents, as every grid-read row does. The register keeps the free-tier finding, the price finding and the file-contents finding as separate rows on each entry, because a single verdict about transparency would serve neither reader.

Both values above are read from the vendor pages linked in the rows: pictory.ai and fliki.ai, on 2026-09-22. Each entry has its own page, Pictory and Fliki, and the rule for the column they diverge on is on the free tier column page. Other pairs: a standard or a price, who reads the signal.
