Base44

Base44 turns plain-language instructions into apps and handles the backend and launch in the same platform. It is best for people who want to build and publish web apps without coding; its main appeal is an integrated path from idea to deployment, though credit caps and no mobile apps narrow the fit.

Overview

Base44 generates an application's code, structure, design and logic from natural-language descriptions. It also sets up logins, authentication, data storage and role-based permissions, so builders do not have to assemble those backend basics separately.

Hosting, analytics and custom domains are included, and published apps are live and shareable. Users own their code, data and users, with full-source export through two-way GitHub sync. That mix of managed infrastructure and source access suits builders who want a quick launch without giving up the option to work with their code.

Key features

Agents and integrations

Superagents can automate workflows, manage data and connect with tools. One-click connectors include Salesforce, Notion, Slack, HubSpot, LinkedIn, TikTok, Discord, Gmail and Google Workspace services; manual API integrations include Monday.com, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Twilio, Resend and Zapier. A custom integration can connect any service with an API using the user's own credentials. This breadth is useful for apps tied to existing services, but the monthly integration-credit allowance is a practical constraint on heavier use.

Security and data controls

Base44 states that it has SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification and supports GDPR requirements. It encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2 or later and at rest with AES-256, including backups. Per-app scans look for vulnerable dependencies, insecure code patterns, exposed secrets, missing login checks and weak data-access rules, and offer AI fixes. Selectable data-residency regions, enterprise training-data opt-out and a GDPR deletion flow add controls for teams with governance needs. These safeguards are a meaningful part of the offer, though teams needing SSO or advanced security controls must look to Enterprise.

Pricing

Base44 is freemium. The Free plan costs nothing and provides 25 message credits and 100 integration credits per month, up to five apps, authentication, database functionality and analytics. It is a sensible way to explore the builder or maintain a small project, but the caps limit sustained iteration and connected workflows.

Starter costs $16 a month, billed annually. It raises the allowance to 100 message credits and 2,000 integration credits per month, removes the app-count limit, and adds in-app code edits and domain connection.

Builder costs $40 a month, billed annually, and includes 250 message credits and 10,000 integration credits per month, unlimited apps, in-app code edits, domain connection and GitHub integration. It is the more suitable step for builders who want source synchronization and a larger working allowance.

Pro costs $80 a month, billed annually. Its 500 message credits and 20,000 integration credits per month come with unlimited apps, AI model selection, domain connection and GitHub integration. Choose it when model selection or the higher quotas matter; otherwise, Builder costs less and retains GitHub integration.

Elite costs $160 a month, billed annually, with 1,200 message credits and 50,000 integration credits per month, unlimited apps, AI model selection, domain connection and GitHub integration. Premium support is included at this tier. It is aimed at users with substantially greater monthly usage or a need for that support, rather than casual builders.

Enterprise has custom pricing and offers custom credits, a dedicated architect, SSO, advanced security controls and an account team. It is the tier for organizations that need those services and controls. Across the paid plans, the annual billing term matters: the quoted monthly prices are billed annually.

Platforms

Base44 supports web apps and offers API access, but mobile apps are not supported. Its platform information includes Android and iOS, yet the mobile-app availability is no; people whose requirement is a native mobile app should choose a different builder. Both deployment options are supported, and custom domains are available.

Who it's for

Base44 is a strong fit for non-coders, small teams and product builders who want prompt-based creation, backend setup, hosting and integrations in one place. It also suits teams that value source ownership and GitHub export alongside managed deployment. It is a weaker choice for mobile-first projects or anyone whose workload is likely to outgrow the credits on a lower plan.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Prompt-driven generation covers code, design and logic, while automatic authentication, storage and permissions reduce backend setup.
• Pros: Hosting, analytics, custom domains and shareable publishing are integrated, so launching does not require a separate hosting service.
• Pros: Source ownership and two-way GitHub sync give users a route to work with the full codebase.
• Pros: A broad connector set, custom API integrations and Superagents support apps that need connected workflows.
• Cons: Monthly message and integration credits are capped, including on paid plans, so high activity can require a higher tier.
• Cons: Mobile apps are not supported, ruling it out for projects that need a mobile app.
• Cons: GitHub integration begins at Builder, while AI model selection is reserved for Pro and Elite.

Alternatives

Replit is worth considering if you need a platform that lists Linux, macOS and Windows alongside web and mobile, and its free Starter plan includes daily usage with one live project and one background task at a time.

FlutterFlow may suit someone comparing a builder with a free plan capped at two projects, ten Lite credits, five lifetime AI requests and two API endpoints.

Lovable is another freemium option; its free plan includes five daily build credits, up to 30 per month, plus 20 monthly Cloud credits and four monthly AI credits.

Adalo offers a free plan for building and testing, with 500 records per app, one app editor and unlimited test apps.

Bubble may be a better match for readers comparing a free web-and-mobile plan with one app editor, 50K workload units per month and six hours of server logs.

Bolt.new has a free plan with daily and monthly token allowances, website hosting, unlimited databases and Bolt branding.

Draftbit is an alternative with a free plan that includes one sandbox, three projects, two apps per project, one REST API integration per project and 5,000 one-time credits.

Dyad is another alternative.

Verdict

Choose Base44 if you want a no-code route to a web app with backend setup, hosting, integrations and source access in one platform. Its integrated workflow is the clearest reason to choose it; capped credits and the lack of mobile apps are the clearest reasons to look elsewhere.
