Licences that move separately from the mark
Two entries start the commercial licence on the same plans that stop the mark. One puts the licence a plan higher, leaving a subscription whose output has no mark on it and no permission to use it. As of 2026-09-22.
| Generator | Paid tier | Document read |
|---|---|---|
| LTX Studio | No watermarking from Lite ($15/mo) | pricing page |
| Luma AI | No watermark from Plus ($30/mo) | licensing guide |
| Pika | Watermark-free from $28 Pro | pricing page |
Inclusion rule. Entries whose pages state both a marking boundary and a commercial-use boundary, so the two can be compared. Entries that publish only one of the two are not counted. Order. Alphabetical by generator name.
1A clean file is not a publishable file
On one entry the mark stops at the entry paid plan and the commercial licence starts at the plan above it. Between them sits a subscription whose output carries no watermark and which the vendor's own wording describes as personal use, excluding promotional activity for a business, product or service.
Nothing about such a file reveals the restriction. A studio reading only the marking line would conclude that the cheaper subscription is enough to ship, and the evidence in the file would agree with them. That is the single most expensive way to misread this register, and it is why marking and licensing are never merged into one column here.
2Where they coincide, they coincide by packaging
On the other two entries the same plans carry both, so a clean file is a publishable one. One of them ties them with an icon: the crossed glyph on its free and eight-dollar plans covers watermark-free download and commercial use alike. The other groups three plans as carrying commercial rights and no watermark in a single sentence.
Neither of those is a policy statement; both are packaging that happens to align. A redesign could separate them without any change to a product, and a register that had merged the two would show nothing on the day it happened. Recording them apart costs a row and buys the ability to see that change.
3What this means for the columns that exist
The register has no licence column, and this page is the reason it does not need one: licensing is recorded where a vendor states it, as a fact on that entry's own page, rather than as a field every row has to fill. Adding a column would force a value onto twelve entries whose pages say nothing about it.
The four columns are about what a file carries and who can change that. Permission is a different subject with a different source, usually a terms page rather than a grid, and conflating the two is how a reader ends up holding an unmarked file they are not allowed to use.

Every row above is read from the vendor page named beside it, on 2026-09-22. The same values in register form are on the support table, the rule for this column is on the paid tier column page, and what may fill a cell at all is on the what earns a row page.
