Commercial Use, Watermarks & Content Credentials in AI Content Apps (September 2026)

Before you publish AI-made content in a monetised channel, a client project or an ad, check three things: whether your plan grants commercial use, whether the export carries a watermark, and whether the file is labelled as AI-made. This table summarises what each vendor's own pricing and terms pages say.

Not legal advice. Terms change and often differ between free and paid plans, between regions and between features inside one app (for example voice cloning or stock assets). Always read the current terms before commercial use.

What the columns mean

Commercial use: the vendor's paid plans grant you the right to use outputs commercially. “Check terms” means we could not confirm it, or it is restricted.
Free-plan watermark: “None” when free exports are clean; otherwise expect a visible logo or an upgrade prompt.
Content Credentials: the app attaches C2PA provenance data that platforms such as TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube can read and label.
