OpenRouter (model API hub)
OpenRouter's terms don't decide who owns your outputs. They point to each model's own terms, so the model you pick decides what you can sell.
Plan by plan
API (pay as you go)
Depends- Who owns the output
- Set by each model's own terms
- Revenue cap
- none stated by OpenRouter
- Attribution or watermark
- none stated by OpenRouter
- Indemnity
- You indemnify OpenRouter
You must check each model's terms yourself. OpenRouter says it doesn't change or waive them.
Owning the output under a tool's terms isn't the same as holding copyright in it. Can you copyright AI art, music and video? →
