What each generator documents about marking its output

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.

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 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.

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.
