AI video generators

AI video tools and models. Several free plans are non-commercial, so the plan you're on matters.

20 tools

  • CapCut
    • Free / Pro Depends

    CapCut's own templates, music and effects come in two kinds: non-commercial-only materials and 'Dual Use' materials marked for limited commercial use. Unless a material says otherwise, content made with them is for personal, non-commercial use. US users have a separate agreement.

  • ElevenLabs (voice, image, video)
    • Free No
    • Paid (Starter and up) Yes

    The free plan is non-commercial and makes images but not video. Paid plans (Starter and up) can sell voice, image and video output. Sound effects can only be sold as part of a larger work. Image and video run on third-party models such as Veo, Kling and Seedance, and each provider's own terms apply on top.

  • Google Flow (Veo + Nano Banana filmmaking app)
    • Google AI Plus / Pro / Ultra (Veo, Omni or Nano Banana inside Flow) Unknown
    • Qualifying Google Workspace plans (50 daily credits) Unknown
    • Same models via Gemini API / Vertex AI (not Flow) Yes

    Flow runs on Google's consumer Terms of Service. Asked whether outputs can be used commercially, Google's Flow help page only quotes 'Google won't claim ownership'. It needs Google AI Plus, Pro or Ultra (or a qualifying Workspace plan). For a clear commercial yes, use the same models through the Gemini API or Vertex AI.

  • Google Veo (Gemini app, Google Flow, Vertex AI)
    • Gemini app / Google Flow: AI Plus / Pro / Ultra Unknown
    • Gemini API (Veo) Yes
    • Vertex AI, GA Veo models Yes
    • Vertex AI preview (e.g. Veo 3.1 Lite) No

    Google won't claim ownership of Veo videos. On the commercial question, Flow's help page only points back to that ownership line. Flow needs Google AI Plus, Pro or Ultra. On Google Cloud, preview Veo models are for evaluation only.

  • Hailuo / MiniMax
    • Free / paid No

    The terms say the services are for personal, non-commercial use only and any commercial use of generated content is at your own risk. Do not remove AI watermarks.

  • Hedra (talking-avatar video)
    • Free / paid Yes

    Hedra says you own your inputs and outputs, and we found no plan-based commercial restriction in its terms. Hedra gets a broad licence to your content to run the service.

  • HeyGen
    • Free No
    • Creator / Pro / Business Yes

    Free plan: personal, non-commercial and evaluation use only (no monetising, ads or client work). Creator, Pro and Business: you own your output and may use it commercially. The same rules cover HeyGen Voice (see the voice entry).

  • Higgsfield
    • Free / paid Yes

    Higgsfield does not claim ownership of your outputs and does not restrict commercial use. It may embed invisible watermarks / C2PA provenance.

  • InVideo
    • Free / Plus / Max Yes

    InVideo assigns you its rights in outputs and grants a perpetual licence to commercialise them, which survives cancelling your subscription.

  • Kling AI
    • Free (non-member, incl. credit top-ups) No
    • Membership (paid) Yes

    Kling doesn't claim ownership of your content. Without a membership, you need Kling's written permission to use output commercially and must keep the Kling brand on it. Members may use output for any commercial purpose except building a competing product.

  • Luma (Dream Machine / Ray)
    • Free No
    • Paid plans permitting commercial use Yes

    You own your outputs, but you may only use them commercially if they were made during an active paid subscription that allows commercial use.

  • MiniMax API (H3 video, Speech, Music)
    • API (pay as you go) Yes

    Through MiniMax's own API, you keep ownership of what you generate and the terms set no non-commercial limit. The open H3 and Music 3 weights have their own licences with extra rules, and H3's excludes the EU, UK, South Korea and US.

  • Pika
    • Free / Starter No
    • Creator / Fancy / Enterprise Yes

    Pika is personal and non-commercial unless your plan permits otherwise. Its pricing page lists the commercial licence as not included on Free and Starter, and included on Creator, Fancy and Enterprise.

  • PixVerse
    • Free No
    • Paid Depends

    PixVerse's terms limit outputs to non-commercial use unless you get separate authorisation or a commercial-use licence. Platform templates and materials are non-commercial unless PixVerse authorises otherwise.

  • Runway
    • Free / paid Yes

    Runway does not claim ownership of your outputs and does not restrict commercial use of them; it may use inputs/outputs to train its models.

  • Seedance (ByteDance video model, via Dreamina / BytePlus)
    • Dreamina (CapCut) Free / paid Depends
    • BytePlus ModelArk API (business) Yes
    • Third-party platforms (Higgsfield, Freepik, CapCut etc.) Depends

    On Dreamina, the terms say the service is 'generally' for private, non-commercial use, with commercial use only where extra terms allow it. On the BytePlus business API you own the output, but it's not available in the US.

  • Synthesia
    • Starter / Creator / Enterprise Yes

    You own your videos (Output is part of the Customer Data you own) and the terms don't limit use to non-commercial purposes. Synthesia's stock avatars and templates stay theirs, and you can't use a stock avatar in paid social ads without Synthesia's written consent.

  • Tencent HunyuanVideo / Hunyuan Image (open weights)
    • Open weights: HunyuanDiT v1.0–v1.2 (image) Yes
    • Open weights: HunyuanVideo, HunyuanVideo 1.5, HunyuanImage 2.1, Hunyuan Image 3.0 Depends

    Depends on the model. The older HunyuanDiT image models (v1.0–v1.2) are licensed worldwide. HunyuanVideo, HunyuanVideo 1.5, HunyuanImage 2.1 and Hunyuan Image 3.0 are not licensed in the EU, UK or South Korea, and their outputs can't be used outside the licensed territory. Products with over 100M monthly users need a separate licence.

  • Vidu (Shengshu)
    • Free No
    • Paid Yes

    Free users: personal, non-commercial use. Paid users: the licence extends to commercial use. Vidu doesn't claim ownership of your content.

    • wan.video Free / paid (incl. Wan 2.5 and later) Yes

    Only Wan 2.1 and 2.2 are open weights (Apache 2.0, and Wan claims no rights over what you generate). Wan 2.5 and later are hosted only. On wan.video, Wan assigns you its rights in outputs, and we found no non-commercial clause. You must not remove AI labels or watermarks.
