Aniline is less basic due to lesser availability of lone pair of electrons.
1.)Due to resonance effect which delocalises the lone pair all over the benzene ring.
2.)There is also a second reason: Lesser stability of conjugate acid than aniline:
C6H5NH2 + H2O : C6H5NH3
anilinium ion is less stable than aniline,hence equilibrium shifts towards the left.
