Stable Diffusion web UI FAQ
- Is Stable Diffusion web UI free?

- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does Stable Diffusion web UI work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use Stable Diffusion web UI commercially?
- The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
