Two marking statements published outside a price list
Two entries here are read from something other than a pricing page: a system card and a set of terms. One names C2PA metadata on all assets; the other an invisible, compression-resistant watermark or content credential that is never removed. From 2 source pages, read 2026-09-22 to 2026-10-13; no maker pays to be listed.
| On this question | Sora | SceneMixer |
|---|---|---|
| Document read | A system card | Terms of service |
| File contents | C2PA metadata on all assets | An invisible watermark or content credential |
| Visible mark | Visible and moving, on downloads | A corner badge at delivery, by default |
| Control | Nothing published | A switch for paid members, visible layer only |
| Who can check a file | The vendor, internally | Nobody yet, no reader published |
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.
| Generator | Machine-readable marking | Document read |
|---|---|---|
| SceneMixer | Invisible watermark or content credential | terms of service |
| Sora | C2PA on every asset, standard named | Sora 2 system card |
Inclusion rule. The two entries on this page, with the value each one's own pages support in the column they diverge on. Order. Alphabetical by generator name.
1Two documents written for different readers
A system card is written for reviewers and researchers; terms of service are written for the customer and bind the vendor. Both put the marking statement where a price list would not, and both describe the file rather than a plan.
2Both mark both layers
Each entry describes a visible mark and a signal inside the file. Sora pairs a moving watermark on downloads with C2PA metadata on all assets; the other pairs a corner badge at delivery with an invisible watermark or content credential, and says the invisible half is never removed even when a paid member switches the badge off.
3Neither hands a recipient a public reader
Sora describes detection tools held internally; the other entry publishes no reader at all. C2PA is a named standard that other tools can read, which gives Sora's file contents the edge on checkability; the other's edge is a contractual promise that the signal stays on.

- User togglePaid members can switch the badge off for later renders; the terms make removing the visible label an optional paid feature where the law permitstied to a paid membership
Both values above are read from the vendor pages linked in the rows: openai.com and scenemixer.com, on 2026-10-13. Each entry has its own page, Sora and SceneMixer, and the rule for the column they diverge on is on the machine-readable marking column page. Other pairs: named, or avoided, two routes, as read in september.
