PixVerse is one brand with two contracts, and they disagree about money. The website and the app sit under one terms of service, the API platform under another. Read only the first and you will get your client work wrong.
Two documents, two operators, two answers
The consumer terms are operated by AIVORA PTE. LTD. and close with Updated on May 7, 2026. The PixVerse Platform Terms of Service are operated by MOTIVAI PRIVATE LIMITED and close with Updated on Sep 4, 2026. Four months apart, same logo.
Which one applies follows from where you generate: the web walkthrough covers the console route, the PixVerse API guide the request route.
What the web terms of service say
Section 4.1 answers twice.
The sentence that limits output use
Your use of the Outputs is limited to non-commercial purposes unless you obtain separate authorization or a commercial-use license from the relevant rights holders.
Read alone, that makes the consumer product non-commercial without a commercial licence. The same paragraph disclaims ownership: We do not claim ownership of the Outputs. You own the file; permitted use is a separate question. On this wording you may not sell it.
The bullet list that says the opposite
A few paragraphs later, section 4.1 lists conditions for downloading material. The first bullet reads Said information is can be used for both personal and commercial purposes. The rest require no alterations, no added warranties, and PixVerse notices left in place.
One section, paragraphs apart, says output use is non-commercial and says the material may be used commercially. Nothing reconciles the two.
What the API platform terms say
The developer document is unambiguous in comparison.
Users' use of AI-generated content for commercial purposes is not restricted.
What follows is a risk warning, not a permission slip: such content cannot completely avoid the risk of intellectual property infringement, and a user who causes losses shall bear the liability for compensation. Responsibility for your own inputs stays with you.
The platform document does forbid something. Section 3.1 bars handing the interface to others: users shall not integrate the API into third-party applications for resale or sharing, nor use the API to provide video generation services for other unauthorized users. Section 1.4 adds that it is prohibited to use the API for any commercial profit-making activities, such as directly selling API invocation services. The line is not “no commercial projects”. It is “no reselling our interface”.

| Supplying others with access | Not addressed in section 4 | Prohibited without written consent |
| Licence you grant back | Aggregated and anonymised, with an opt-out | Not restated in section 5 |
Examples: one clip, two licensing routes
Two readers, one prompt, different documents. The prompt is ours, not a PixVerse sample, and both routes produce the same file.
Example one: a freelancer billing a client
Route: PixVerse web or app, free or subscription tier
Job: 15-second product clip for a paying client
Prompt: A matte black coffee grinder on a slate counter, morning light raking across the hopper, the burr turning slowly as grounds fall into a glass jar, camera locked off.
Model: v6
quality: 1080p
duration: 15sThe file is identical to the developer route’s. The licensing is not. Section 4.1 limits output use to non-commercial purposes unless you obtain separate authorisation, and a paying client is commercial use. On this route you need that authorisation, or you rely on the bullet list.
Example two: the same clip through the API
Route: PixVerse Platform API
Same job, same prompt, billed per second of output
Endpoint: POST https://app-api.pixverse.ai/openapi/v2/video/text/generate
model: v6
quality: 1080p
duration: 15
audio: offHere the platform terms govern and section 5.3 permits commercial use. What you may not do is wrap the endpoint and sell it, and section 3.1 says so in as many words. Credits here are billed per second, so price against the per-second rate card.
Template materials are stricter than output
A third category is the narrowest. Section 4.2 covers the images, characters, templates and visual elements PixVerse publishes as inspiration, including Trending Inspo.
Platform Creative Materials are made available for non-commercial, in-Platform creative use only. The next sentence closes the obvious gap: they may not be used commercially whether alone or as part of Outputs. A clip whose own frames are permitted can therefore still be non-commercial once a template asset is baked into it. The section also bans political campaign use.
What PixVerse has not published
No page we could open offers a paid commercial licence for the consumer route, or states a price, even though section 4.1 names separate authorization or a commercial-use license as the way through. Nothing reconciles the two sentences in section 4.1. The free tier is never treated as a licensing category either, so whether a free render carries different terms is unstated; the free plan page covers what is published on limits.
One third-party site ranks well here and states that every subscription tier includes commercial rights, under plan names that appear nowhere on PixVerse’s pages.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use PixVerse output commercially? It depends which document governs your account. The web terms limit output use to non-commercial purposes without separate authorisation; the platform terms say commercial use is not restricted.
Do the API terms let me resell generations? No. Section 3.1 forbids integrating the API for resale or sharing.
Do I own the video? The web terms say We do not claim ownership of the Outputs. Ownership and permitted use are separate answers, and the second one is the restrictive one.
Can I put a trending template in a paid ad? Not on the published wording. Section 4.2 keeps those materials non-commercial, including inside an output.
Is there a commercial licence I can buy? Section 4.1 refers to one. No page we could open publishes its terms or its price.
