ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The free use threshold is tied to total annual revenue from any source, not revenue generated specifically from the models, meaning a large business cannot claim the free tier by isolating model-related income.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users with annual revenue under USD $1M from any source may use and sell models without paying Stability AI.
