Licensing FAQ
Can I post Free plan output publicly, and do I need to credit Sonilo?
Short answer
You can post Free output to a personal account that is not monetized, sponsored, or used for a business. A download made on the Free plan must be credited “Music by Sonilo” (or “Sound effects by Sonilo”) wherever you share it; Pro, Premium, and Enterprise output needs no credit. What you cannot do on Free is use the output commercially: ads, sponsorships, monetized channels, client work, or products you sell. Free plan exports are also preview quality.

Attribution
Free plan: required. If you share or publish a Free-plan download, the Terms (Section 6.2) require a credit of “Music by Sonilo”, or “Sound effects by Sonilo” for sound effects, where viewers can reasonably see it, such as the video description or caption.
Pro, Premium, and Enterprise: not required. You may credit Sonilo if you want to, but the license does not depend on it. Platform rules on labelling AI-generated content are separate and apply regardless of plan.
Export quality
Free exports are preview quality. Paid plans export at full quality.
