Before Commercial Use, Read Each Tool's License
"Can I sell an AI-made image?" "Can I use it in client work?" Conditions differ per tool and per plan. Here's a license overview of major AIs.
What Is Commercial Use, Anyway
- Revenue purpose (sales, ads, client work)
- Affiliate on a personal blog → commercial
- Free use on a company site → commercial
- Hobby posts on personal social → not commercial
