Official sources checked 2026-10-22Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-22 12:18 UTC (05:18 PDT); editorial entry written independently from live pages on the site's Pacific working date 2026-10-22. The submission's summary and category (Creative) were accurate. Prices were read from the rendered /pricing cards and cross-checked against the /zh/pricing mirror and the site's llms.txt; every figure agreed and the per-credit lines reconcile with the credit counts ($49.90/12,000 = $0.0042, $199.90/60,000 = $0.0033, $499.90/240,000 = $0.0021), and yearly allowances equal twelve monthly allowances. Credit costs per image come from the home page pricing block and the FAQ. Legal pages: /privacy-policy and /terms-of-service return 200 with real substance, while /privacy, /terms, /refund-policy, /contact, /legal, /cookie-policy and /acceptable-use all 404; the ToS defers generated-image retention to unspecified 'image storage terms' that are not published. Non-affiliation is disclosed in both the privacy policy and the ToS. Trackers were read from the served markup: Google Analytics 4 G-GC01M2BQCY (gtag config) and Microsoft Clarity (clarity.ms/tag) are injected on /privacy-policy and /terms-of-service themselves, with no consent banner anywhere and no analytics processor named in the notice, against a policy sentence saying data is not transferred to outside parties. Contact: support@imagesv2.ai and alex@imagesv2.ai both returned 250 against the domain's Cloudflare MX with a random local part returning 550 5.1.1, so the published address is a working mailbox and the domain is not a catch-all. Domain registered 2026-04-05 via Dynadot behind a privacy service (Cloudflare NS jake/noor), sixteen days before OpenAI released gpt-image-2 on 2026-04-21 - a pre-launch registration of a model name, not an incumbent under this name. Name family sweeps found four unrelated operators on four different Cloudflare NS pairs (gptimage2.com, gptimage2.ai, gpt-image-2.com, and imagesv2.com now held by an Indonesian gambling site), so the request asks whether a relationship exists rather than demanding rights. No affiliate or partner page exists (/affiliates, /affiliate, /referral, /partners and /api/referrals all 404).
Free: one short low-resolution preview for some new accounts, at the vendor's discretion. Monthly plans (credits reset monthly, unused expire): Basic $29.90/mo for 100 credits (card shows 8 videos), Pro $49.90/mo for 200 credits (16 videos), Agency $99.90/mo for 480 credits (40 videos). Yearly: badged 'up to 44% off' and auto-renewing; the only yearly figure in the served HTML is Basic at $299/year for 120 videos (about 17% below the monthly rate, ~$24.92/mo), while Pro and Agency yearly prices render only after the client-side toggle. 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). Render costs: Seedance 2.0 Mini 5 credits at 480p / 10 at 720p; Fast 8 / 17; Pro 10 / 20 / 50; Seedance 2.5 Ultra 17 / 37 / 93. Standard 12-second 720p song = 10 credits; Original remake stages = 12 credits. Failed, timed-out or safety-blocked renders refunded automatically; unused pack credits refundable inside 7 days. USD via Stripe.
Official sources checked 2026-10-27Submitted 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.
