Pika on a visible mark that a plan change takes away

Nothing on the page says what free-tier output carries. What it says is that a feature removing the mark appears from a particular price upward, and the state of cheaper output is read backwards from that. As of 2026-09-12.

Reading a plan table backwards, and what that costsA phrase removing the mark appears from one price upward. The state of cheaper output is not stated anywhere and is read back from that boundary, which is weaker than a sentence and is the only evidence the page offers.What the page statesWhat the cell recordsOn the paid tierWatermark-free download is listedRemoval available from that priceOn the cheaper tiersThe phrase does not appearA mark, by omissionReason for the markNothingNot givenMachine-readable layerNothingNot documentedOne pricing page, two standards of evidence

PointWhat the record holds
Article 50(4), deployer disclosureA visible mark on free and $8 output, read from an omission
Read fromA pricing page, written for somebody choosing a plan
What it does not settleWhether the mark is framed as a disclosure at all

Inclusion rule. One cell of this generator's entry, quoted from the page the entry names. Coverage, commentary and third-hand summaries are not admitted, in either direction. Order. Fixed order: the cell, the page it came off, then the limit on reading it.

1Reading a feature list backwards

On a plan table the presence of a phrase means a feature is included and its absence means it is not listed. Those are not the same as present and absent in a file, and a summary leaves things out for reasons unrelated to the subject somebody is researching.

So the cell says the position is read from an omission and keeps its weight low. The alternative would be to promote a gap in a marketing table into a published statement about output, which is exactly the move this register avoids.

2The deepfake paragraph asks for a disclosure, not a logo

The duty on deployers is to disclose that image, audio or video content has been generated or manipulated. A mark in a corner may well achieve that for a viewer, and nothing on this page frames it that way.

The distinction matters when somebody has to account for a decision later. A mark presented as a product feature can be removed by buying something; a disclosure presented as meeting a duty cannot be removed by buying something.

3What a price tells a reader about a file

The useful consequence of gating by tier is that the state of any given file follows what was paid when it was produced. That is recoverable from an invoice long afterwards, which is more than can be said for a per-request flag.

The useless consequence is that the page offers no reason for the mark at all. Every other entry describing a visible mark gives at least a sentence about why it is there; here it is inferable only from what removing it costs.
