Which licence do you actually need?

Breaking down individual, studio, and corporate tiers for commercial mockup use

Licensing is the part everyone skims — until a client asks “are we cleared to use this commercially?” and you don’t have a clean answer. Knowing the tiers protects you, your client, and the work.

Individual

The entry tier covers a single designer using the mockups for their own client work. It’s the right fit for freelancers and solo studios: you can render, deliver, and use the visuals commercially, but the licence is tied to one person. If a second designer needs the same files, this isn’t the tier.

Studio

A studio licence extends usage across a team. Everyone in the studio can work from the same library on the same projects without each person buying in. For agencies and multi-designer shops, this is usually the practical choice — it keeps the whole team legally covered under one agreement.

Corporate

The corporate tier is built for larger organisations and higher-volume, brand-wide use — often with broader distribution rights and internal teams across departments. If the visuals will be used at scale or embedded in a company’s own production pipeline, this is the tier that keeps everyone clear.

Pick by who’s using it, not just price

• Solo, your own clients → Individual

• A team sharing the same files → Studio

• An organisation using it at scale → Corporate

When in doubt, license up. The cost of the right tier is always smaller than the cost of an infringement conversation later.
