- 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 2026-10-21Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-20 (14:22 UTC), category 'Creative' (accurate). Editorial entry written independently. One of four products from the same operator, confirmed in writing 2026-10-20 15:34 UTC; the same reply supplied the inference path (WaveSpeed, google/gemini-3.7-flash) and the session-record retention mechanics. Held on an unnamed contracting party and a GA4 claim that does not match its configuration. Re-verified live 2026-10-21: /privacy-policy (dated 2026-09-27) still reads 'We use self-hosted Umami and Google Analytics 4 ... load by default without requiring click consent', no G- measurement ID appears in any served page, and the shipped config carries an empty gaId. PUBLISHED 2026-10-21 with 'no registered company, trading name, postal address or controller identity' and the GA4/gaId mismatch recorded as stated limitations in cons rather than as a gate. Governing law (Hong Kong) and the provider/model disclosure are credited in pros.
