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.

One-time packs, credits never expire: Single $9.99 (12 credits, 1 video), Trio $19.99 (36 credits, 3 videos), Crew $49 (120 credits, 10 videos), Studio $99 (300 credits, 25 videos), Label $199 (720 credits, 60 videos).

Official sources checked 2026-10-27

Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-27 14:13 UTC; editorial entry written independently from live pages on the site's Pacific working date 2026-10-27. The submission's name, category (Creative) and summary were accurate. Prices were read from the served /pricing HTML and cross-checked against the /zh, /es, /fr and /de mirrors, which carry identical figures; per-render credit costs come from the same page's model table. The yearly toggle is JavaScript-only, so only the Basic yearly figure ($299/120 videos, quoted in the studio's own price line on the homepage) could be verified - Pro and Agency yearly prices are recorded as unavailable rather than guessed. Three internal pricing inconsistencies were verified on the live pages and are published in cons: 'About $1 a song' (homepage value card plus the /pricing <title> and og:title) against 'about $2.99 a song on the Basic plan' (hero and FAQ) and the $3.32/video Label pack; '100 credits / month · 8 videos' on the Basic card against '10 songs a month for $29.90'; and plan/pack sizing at ~12 credits a video against the stated 10-credit standard render. Legal set: /privacy-policy, /terms-of-service and /refund-policy all 200 (all dated 'Last updated: 2026-10-04'), while /privacy, /terms, /refund, /about, /contact and /faq 404 - the FAQ is the homepage anchor /#faq, not a missing route. Processors named by company with purpose (Kie.ai/ByteDance Seedance, OpenAI lyrics, Cloudflare, Railway, Stripe, Google); training use explicitly excluded; likeness, minors and prohibited-use clauses present; refund windows stated; non-affiliation with artists and labels stated in the ToS and on the Hotel Lobby guide. Trackers read from the served markup on the policy pages themselves: GA4 G-GLWNKQXXM1 via googletagmanager, Microsoft Clarity yr9wgy5s80, PostHog, plus the Cloudflare beacon - none named in the notice, no cookie section, no consent gate (the 'consent' strings in the bundle are photo-permission i18n, and the 'countdown' strings are OTP resend labels, not a pricing timer). No company, controller, postal address or governing-law clause exists in the ToS. Contact: support@rapvideoai.com published via Cloudflare email obfuscation on every legal page and probed live against the domain's Cloudflare MX with nothing sent - 250 2.1.0 Ok, random local part 550 5.1.1, so one real mailbox on a non-catch-all domain; the submission's alex@imagesv2.ai also answers 250 and is the same address that submitted ImagesV2. Operator: rapvideoai.com and imagesv2.ai share the Cloudflare nameserver pair noor/jake, the same Cloudflare MX triple and registrar Dynadot, and the submitted contact address is on the imagesv2.ai domain we already list - same operator, separate product, so this is a second listing rather than a duplicate. Name: rapvideo.ai is a separate operator (Roman/Bristol nameservers, Zoho MX, Spaceship registrar, registered 2026-10-02) selling a same-named Hotel Lobby rap-video product; homepage body-text similarity to this site measured 0.156 with difflib, i.e. separately drafted, and rapvideoai.com was registered 2026-09-29, three days earlier - a crowded fresh name, not a squat, and it is disclosed in cons.
