Aibase vs Pawheadshots
Indie creators who want one credit-based workspace for AI images and short AI video without juggling multiple subscriptions · Cat and dog owners who want a comedy headshot pack out of one phone photo - 30 fixed looks plus 6 styles you choose, with a matching Employee ID, PawkedIn profile and printable Pet Resume - as a single $19.90 one-time purchase; a $29.90 'Me & My Human' pack does 30 portraits of you and your pet together. Not a fit if you need to see the results before paying (there is no preview), if you expect the files to be stored for you (they are deleted 7 days after purchase), or if you need a company address and governing-law clause before you buy.

- 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.

Official sources checked 2026-11-02Submitted via form 2026-11-03 02:39 UTC (contact field a third-party mail.grokbot.com alias, vban@) - editorial entry written independently from live pages fetched 2026-11-02 Pacific. Live: /, /studio, /me-and-my-human, /pet-resume, /resume, /breeds, /privacy, /terms all 200; /pricing, /about, /contact, /faq, /cookies, /refund 404. Operator named as Vban LLC in both policies; processors named by company (Cloudflare, fal.ai running OpenAI and Google models, Stripe and Link as merchant of record); retention stated as periods (uploads 3 days, images 7 days, IP counters 1-2 days, order records for tax); training use explicitly denied; commercial rights granted with the pack and revoked on full refund; 18+ rule. Analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics is the only tracker on the fetched pages and the policy names it as cookieless - disclosure and instrumentation match. Checkout is wired, not announced: /api/checkout is a live POST route in the shipped client bundle and /api/orders answers GET 200 with an empty list; no purchase was attempted. No governing-law clause, jurisdiction or postal address anywhere (whole-page sweep of /terms for 'governing law', 'jurisdiction', 'courts', 'arbitration', 'address' returns zero). Domain registered 2026-10-30 14:25 UTC (Cloudflare registrar, NS johnathan/athena - a pair in no other ledger row); the name appears on a March 2026 .com drop list, so this is a re-registered generic pet-name domain, not a squat. Contact support@pawheadshots.com verified deliverable before any send: SMTP RCPT TO against Cloudflare Email Routing MX returned 250 2.1.0 Ok while a random local part returned 550 5.1.1, so the domain is not a catch-all (nothing sent on the probe).
