Aggregating at the application layer or the maker layer
Both entries sell other companies' models and only one of them makes any. That changes who a customer can hold responsible: an application aggregating six makers has no schedule of its own, while a maker reselling others has its own generations on the same table as theirs. From 2 source pages, read 2026-09-12 to 2026-09-22; no maker pays to be listed.
| On this point | invideo AI | Luma |
|---|---|---|
| Own models on the menu | None; every line is another maker's | Two house generations |
| Schedules the entry controls | None | Its own two lines |
| Schedules it inherits | Six | Several, from other makers |
| Versions given | Makers named, versions mostly not | Versions named on the plan table |
| Is the mixture acknowledged | The list names six makers | The plan wording names other makers |
Inclusion rule. Both cells on a row come from the entry's own published pages. A maker counted here is one the entry itself names. Order. Own models first, then schedules, then version detail.
1A maker that resells has a floor under it
If every licensed line were withdrawn, one of these entries would still have two house generations to sell and the other would have nothing. That is a difference in the worst case rather than in the ordinary one.
It also means one entry can be asked about part of its menu and the other can only pass questions upward. Neither publishes a route for doing so.
2Version detail is where they really differ
One names makers and mostly not versions, so a dated announcement about a specific version cannot be matched to anything purchased. The other names versions on the plan table, so it can.
That is a bigger practical difference than the layer question. A menu of makers is a marketing list; a menu of versions is something a production can audit against.
3One listed line already carries a date
The aggregated menu still names a model whose maker has announced that its interface closes. Both statements are current, and the register keeps them side by side without predicting what the application does next.
The habit that works at either layer is checking the maker rather than the reseller, which is the whole reason model pages and entry pages are kept separate here.
4The same question, put to a third entry
| On this point | SceneMixer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| When a tier is withdrawn | When a tier is withdrawn, text and image work falls back to the default tier and video to the tier the episode last used if it is still listed, otherwise the default; the price shown is the tier that will run | SceneMixer, withdrawn tier guide |
Inclusion rule. SceneMixer's own statements that bear on the column this pair was chosen for. Order. The statement closest to the column first.
All of its readings are on the SceneMixer entry.
