SceneMixer and HeyGen on who is holding the lever

Both entries price the lever that removes a visible mark. On one the price buys a switch the paid member flips render by render, with an invisible layer kept on; on the other it buys a state, removal listed on the $29 and $49 tiers. From 2 source pages, read 2026-09-22 to 2026-10-13; no maker pays to be listed.

A paid switch with conditions, and a paid state without themBoth levers sit behind a paid plan. One is a switch the paid member flips per render, conditioned on the law and auditable, over an invisible layer that stays; the other is a tier-wide state with a price and nothing else.A paid per-render switchPriced into a tierWho moves itA paid memberA budget holderConditionWhere the law permits; revocableThe priceMachine-readable layerKept on, per the termsNot documentedOne lever leaves the provider half intact

Inclusion rule. Two entries whose published answers to one column pull in different directions. Cells hold each vendor's own wording from the page its entry names; pairs that agree on the column are not filed at all. Order. Fixed order, and the two columns are in the order the heading gives them.

1A price for a switch, and a price for a state

Both entries make removal a paid benefit, so neither lever is available to a free user. On one the benefit is a switch the paid member sets per render; on the other it is a state that covers every file under the tier.

2One lever comes with conditions

One entry's terms condition removal on the law that governs the user's own use and keep a right to audit and revoke it, and its guide gives a presentation reason for using it. The other names a price and nothing else.

3What neither lever touches

On one entry the terms say the invisible layer is never removed, so the lever governs the visible badge only. On the other the machine-readable layer is not documented, so a reader cannot say what a purchase leaves behind.
