Trial checklist
Start with the free credits and run one real task from your own content calendar — an image you'd actually publish plus one short video. Count credits consumed: if your typical work burns through the Basic plan in a week, do the math against Pro/Ultimate before subscribing. Confirm the model picker shows you which underlying provider is running (Nano Banana vs Veo vs Seedance) so you know whose terms actually apply. Cross-check output ownership and acceptable-use against your client's brand rules before going commercial.

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.

How we evaluated
The AIToolsEssentials rating is an editorial score—not an external benchmark. It summarizes job fit, likely output quality, ease of adoption, and operational cost using published product information, benchmark context where the exact model is identifiable, and the repeatable trial checklist above. Benchmarks never determine the final product rating by themselves. See our editorial methodology, evidence ledger, and benchmark evidence policy.
Frequently asked questions
Is AIBase affiliated with Midjourney, OpenAI, or any model maker?
No — AIBase is an independent platform that routes to third-party models. The brand names appear only to identify which supported model is running.
Do I own what I generate?
Yes, subject to the underlying model/provider terms. AIBase's ToS section 4 says you may use Generated Content for personal or commercial purposes. Outputs are not guaranteed unique.
What's the real cost per task?
Their pricing page is explicit: text-to-image runs ~12–46 credits (~$0.05–$0.18), 5s video runs 150–380 credits (~$0.60–$1.52). At 800 credits/mo Basic, that's ~25 standard images or ~2–5 short videos.
Is there a real free tier?
Yes — free trial credits to test the workspace. Ongoing work costs money; it's not a 'free forever' tool.
Does AIBase have an affiliate program?
Yes — 30% on all subscription payments during the first year, including renewals and upgrades. PayPal payouts NET-15. Sign-up on /affiliate-program.
