Quick verdict
Base44, owned by Wix, builds web apps and websites from a description, with the database, user login and hosting included on every plan. Usage is counted in two kinds of credits: message credits for AI chat prompts and integration credits for things your app does, such as generating images or speech. Free gives 25 message credits a month, at most 5 a day, and 100 integration credits, for up to 5 apps on a Base44 URL. Starter is $20 a month, or $16 a month billed annually ($192 a year paid up front by our calculation), with 100 message and 2,000 integration credits, unlimited apps, code editing and a custom domain. Builder is $50 a month, or $40 billed annually ($480 a year), with 250 and 10,000 credits, a choice of models, GitHub sync and ZIP export. Pro is $100 a month, or $80 billed annually ($960 a year), with 500 and 20,000. Elite starts at $200 a month, or $160 billed annually ($1,920 a year), for 1,200 and 50,000. Prices exclude sales tax.
Base44's terms say you own the code and apps it generates, with no plan restriction stated, and apps can sell goods or services through Base44 Payments. Taking your code elsewhere is another matter: ZIP export and GitHub sync start at Builder, and Base44 says exported code still relies on Base44 services to run. Credits reset monthly and unused credits expire.
On training, the terms license your data and generated output to Base44 to maintain, provide and improve the platform, and we found no setting to opt out. This verdict rests on what Base44 documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- Hosting, database and login on every planEvery plan, including Free, publishes apps to a live Base44 URL with a built-in database and user authentication. Database space depends on the plan. Starter and up connect your own domain, and the yearly plan includes a free domain for 1 year.
- You own what it buildsBase44's terms say you own the code and apps generated, with no plan restriction stated. Apps can sell goods or services through Base44 Payments, powered by Wix.
- Models from several companies on BuilderFrom Builder, you can choose Opus 5.5, GPT 6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, Gemini 4 Argon, Fable 5.1 or Base44's own Base 1, set an effort level and compare models side by side; stronger models use more credits. Free and Starter use Auto, which picks a model for each request.
- AI features inside your appBuilt-in integrations let your app generate images, speech in 29 languages and, from Starter, video, and transcribe audio, all paid in integration credits. Speech costs about 1 integration credit per 50 characters.
- Superagents beyond app buildingSuperagents are assistants you chat with in Base44, WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, iMessage or LINE. They can browse the web in a live browser, join Google Meet or Zoom calls to take notes, and talk with you in voice mode, drawing on the workspace credits. Base44's docs show them working on Free.
Limits
- Free is small and code is view-onlyPlan limit. Free allows 25 message credits a month, no more than 5 a day, up to 5 apps and a Base44 URL. You can view your app's code but not edit it, and Free apps carry a Base44 badge that Starter and up can remove.
- Code export starts at BuilderPlan limit. ZIP export and two-way GitHub sync need Builder at $50 a month or more, and Base44 says exported code still relies on Base44 services to run. On Free and Starter, your app stays on Base44.
- No training opt-out foundNot verified. Base44's terms license your data and generated output to Base44 "for the purpose of maintaining, providing and improving the Platform". No page we checked describes a model training setting.
- Credits expire every monthPlan limit. Message and integration credits reset monthly on your billing day, and unused credits expire. Each prompt uses message credits, and stronger models use more.
- Gaps in the pricingNot verified. Elite can be bought with more credits, up to 8,200 message credits a month, but only the 1,200-credit price was found. Base44's monthly prices come from the price table in its pricing page's own script, which matches its "Paid plans from $20/mo" line.
Based on what Wix.com Ltd. documents for each plan, not on our tests.
Who it suits
A good fit if you
- Building a web app with a database and login from a description, without code
- Publishing small apps for free on a Base44 URL
- Apps that take payments, through Base44 Payments
- Adding image, speech or video generation to an app you build
Look elsewhere if you
- Moving your code off the platform on Free or Starter: export starts at Builder

- Heavy daily building on Free: at most 5 message credits a day
- AI autocomplete in your own code editor: none documented, Base44 works through chat

Using it day to day
Base44 runs on the web, including a mobile browser, and in Base44 apps for iOS, Android and Mac; Superagents also work in WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Slack and LINE and through a Chrome extension. You build by chatting, in Build, Discuss and plan modes, and the AI writes the frontend, backend and database code. You can attach images, videos, audio, documents and data files to the chat from your computer, your file library or Google Drive.
From Starter you can edit the code in an in-app editor, and developers can work locally with the Base44 CLI; Builder adds GitHub sync and Base Code, which works on an existing GitHub repository and opens pull requests. Connectors such as Google Workspace, Notion and HubSpot work on every plan, while custom MCP servers need Builder. You can export the data in your app's tables. Cloud storage is included in every plan, but no size is given.
Privacy, data and ads
Base44's terms license your data and generated output to Base44 to maintain, provide and improve the platform. We found no page that describes a model training setting, so an opt-out is not verified. The privacy policy lists a right to export your personal information in a portable format, and you can export your app's table data. Whether the editor shows ads is not verified. Superagent memory can be shared across conversations, kept per conversation or turned off.
Read the vendor's own page: Base44 privacy and data controls. We make no legal or compliance claim.

Getting started
- Start on Base44 Free and build a small app: 25 message credits a month, at most 5 a day, published on a Base44 URL.
- Do not put confidential data into the chat or your app until you have read Base44's terms: they license your data and output to Base44 to improve the platform, and we found no opt-out.
- Choose Starter at $20 a month for unlimited apps, code editing and your own domain.
- If you may want to take your code elsewhere, start at Builder, where ZIP export and GitHub sync begin, and remember that exported code still relies on Base44 services.
- Compare Base44 with Lovable and other app builders on our tools page, and read how we check vendor claims.
