AIBase

Official /en/pricing lists Free trial credits, plus monthly Basic $29.9/mo (was $39.9), Pro $49.9/mo (was $69.9), and Ultimate $99.9/mo (was $120) with 800, 1,400, and 2,800 credits per month respectively. Yearly billing is 20–40% off (Basic yearly ~$180; Pro yearly equivalent ~$29.9 × 12 × 0.6 ≈ $215; Ultimate $99.9 × 12 with 40% off ≈ $720, saving $238.8 on the Pro tier). Pay-as-you-go credit packs available. Per the public Credits Cost Table, text-to-image runs 12–46 credits (~$0.05–$0.18) and 5-second video runs 150–380 credits (~$0.60–$1.52). Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2, Seedream 5.0 Lite, Seedance 1.5 Pro, and Veo 3.1 Fast run on monthly; Veo 3.1 Pro, Seedance 2.0, and HappyHorse 1.0 require yearly or credit packs.

Open verification questions
  • Credits-as-cost model makes monthly spend harder to forecast than flat-rate plans; users should run a real task before subscribing.
  • Veo 3.1 Pro and Seedance 2.0 are gated to yearly plans / credit packs — Basic and Pro monthly cannot access them.
  • Because AIBase routes to third-party models, each model's provider's terms and safety layers apply on top of AIBase's own.
  • No explicit SOC 2 / security claims located on the public site.
  • Affiliate program live: 30% recurring for the first year, PayPal NET-15 payouts.

  • Enterprise pricing is not publicly specified.
  • Workflow-credit cost varies with computational complexity; the official pricing page does not provide one fixed number of workflow runs per plan.
  • The Terms grant usage rights rather than promising that generated content is unique or copyrightable.
  • No separate official image-specific rights policy was found; Copy.ai's Terms address Generated Content generally.

The official pricing page was published on 2026-08-17 and was checked directly. Copy.ai's official security page, https://www.copy.ai/security, says it does not train its models on individual customer data, share prompts with other customers, or sell customer data. The Terms say Copy.ai does not claim ownership of User Content; they grant compliant users a non-exclusive worldwide sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, sell, create derivatives from, distribute, display, and perform Generated Content for lawful business purposes. The Terms also grant Copy.ai and its licensors a broad license over User Content for providing, operating, securing, and improving their services.
