What each vendor's terms say about commercial use

A boundary drawn around paid plans, and one drawn on a map

Runway states commercial use of the paid plans as a group, naming no plan and no figure. The Hunyuan community licence grants a limited licence over a territory defined as worldwide excluding the European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea. As of 2026-09-22.

Inclusion rule. Two vendors whose published answers in one column point in different directions, or sit far enough apart that a reader choosing between them would decide differently. Order. The vendor named first in the heading is the one whose wording is quoted first.

1A condition money clears, and one it does not

The first boundary is the easiest kind to satisfy: any purchase is enough, and the reader does not have to compare cards. The second cannot be satisfied by spending, because what it turns on is jurisdiction.

A London advertiser is outside the defined territory of the second licence no matter what it is willing to pay. That is not a price comparison at all, and the register keeps the two in the same column because a brand asks the same question of both.

2Which boundary is more stable

The category wording is convenient and fragile: a cheaper variant or a renamed tier changes who the grant covers without anybody touching the sentence. The territory definition changes only when the licence is redrafted, and licence files are redrafted rarely and visibly.

So the vaguer-looking condition is the more durable one. A register that ranked these by how easy they are to read would get the stability question exactly backwards.

3What each one asks a reader to keep

For the priced row: which plan was in force when the file was exported, since the permission attaches to a class of plans rather than to a named one. For the licensed row: where the entity relying on the grant is established, and whether that is still true.

Both are records rather than readings. Neither can be reconstructed from the finished file, which is the argument for writing them down at the time.
