A commercial use license grants you the right to use AI-generated content in paid ads, client deliverables, and revenue-generating contexts. Without it, AI output is typically restricted to personal or non-commercial use.
What is commercial use license?
Most AI video tools restrict commercial use to paid tiers, but the specific terms vary widely. Some tools include commercial use only on enterprise plans. Some exclude paid advertising even on paid tiers. Some require attribution. $2.99 makes one clean video, ready in about a minute — or add 3 more takes for $6.99 — any photo, any look, same clean 1080p with commercial use. Always read the actual terms of service rather than relying on marketing copy.
