    Depends on the model. The [dev] weights (FLUX.1 [dev], Kontext [dev], Krea [dev], FLUX.2 [dev], FLUX.2 [klein] 9B and others) are non-commercial, but the licence says you may use the images for any purpose, including commercial. FLUX.1 [schnell] and FLUX.2 [klein] 4B are Apache 2.0.

  • Midjourney
    • Basic / Standard Yes
    • Pro / Mega Yes

    You own what you make on any paid plan, but a company (or its employee) with more than $1M a year in revenue must be on Pro or Mega to own its images. Images are public and remixable unless you use Stealth Mode.

    • Qwen app / Qwen Studio (free and paid subscriptions) No
    • Alibaba Cloud Model Studio API Unknown

    The open weights are Apache 2.0, so self-hosted output can be used commercially. The Qwen app and Qwen Studio are for private, non-commercial use only, even though the rights in outputs are assigned to you.

    • Free / SuperGrok Depends

    You keep ownership of your outputs and the terms don't limit commercial use, but you must credit the service (per xAI's brand guidelines) when you use Output.
