What the free tiers put on your file
Every generator here with a free tier marks the output. Four say so in a sentence: Kling AI, Luma AI, Fliki and D-ID. Five are read from a line missing off a plan grid, which is weaker evidence and is labelled as such. As of 2026-09-22.
| Entry | What is published | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| D-ID | Stated | A full-screen watermark appears for trial users |
| Fliki | Stated | The free plan includes the Fliki watermark |
| HeyGen | By omission | Watermark removal absent from the free plan's features |
| Kling AI | Stated | Brand watermark on the free Basic plan |
| LTX Studio | By omission | The line "No watermarking" is absent from the free feature list |
| Luma AI | Stated | A watermark an upgrade does not lift from those files |
| Pika | By omission | Watermark-free download absent from the free plan |
| Runway | By omission | Watermark-free output absent from the free plan |
| Synthesia | By omission | Logo removal absent from the free Basic plan |
Inclusion rule. Generators on this site with a public free tier. A vendor whose free tier could not be read from a public page is not listed. Order. Alphabetical by vendor name.
1A missing line is evidence, and it is not a sentence
Five of these nine rows exist because a phrase that appears on the paid column is absent from the free one. On a feature grid that is designed to mean excluded, and readers are meant to read it that way. It is still not the vendor saying anything, and the day the grid is redrawn the evidence changes without an announcement.
This site keeps the distinction in a column of its own because the two kinds of row behave differently over time. A stated line stays quotable; an omission has to be re-read every time the pricing page moves.
2The tier that produces the most footage is the one described least
Trials, first drafts and the clip somebody liked enough to keep all come from the free tier. It is also the column vendors write least about, because a plan table exists to sell the upgrade rather than to describe the floor.
The practical consequence shows up later, when a finished cut contains material generated weeks apart on two different tiers and nobody recorded which was which. That is a production bookkeeping problem rather than a product one, and it starts here. One vendor closes the escape route entirely: Luma AI's licensing guide says a watermark applied on the free or Lite plan stays on that file even after the subscription is upgraded, so the fix is to generate it again rather than to pay.
3What this page does not tell you
Nothing about what the mark looks like, where it sits, or how large it is. Those vary by aspect ratio and by version, and no vendor here publishes a specification for them, so the site does not carry a column it would have to fill by looking at output.
Nor does it say anything about signals inside the file. That is a separate question with a separate page, because a visible mark and a machine-readable one are different things that happen to be discussed in the same paragraph of most coverage.

4From the production side
Next to the marking question in “Free tiers”, SceneMixer's pages describe its output like this:
SceneMixer writes dialogue into the script analysis, assigns each line to a shot with a speaker and a short delivery note, and the video model performs it — picture and audio generated together, so the mouth forms that sentence in the language you chose.

You can recomposite with different end-card text, and in step-by-step mode you can reshoot individual segments. The finished file can also be downloaded and shared with a link.
