Where it sits in the data
BasedLabs.ai's $29K MRR is higher than 97% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Design Tools” category (452 projects) it is higher than 99% (category median $118). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, demand would come from creators who want to produce visual content across images and video. The buyer is the person or business paying for credits, while enterprise buyers would be interested in API access and custom solutions.
Distribution would need work around free tools, educational content and search for the kinds of outputs shown on the site. The hard parts would include model access, credit accounting, commercial-use terms, reliable generation, customer support and competition across AI creation products.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
In my view, the clearest takeaway is the credit-based subscription structure. It gives creators a recurring plan, a top-up path and an enterprise option while keeping AI images, videos and face swaps inside one product.
