Base44

Base44 is a no-code AI app builder owned by Wix, which bought the startup in June 2025. You describe an app, website or AI agent in plain language and Base44 generates it with a database, user logins and hosting included. Founders, small businesses and students use it to ship internal tools and customer apps without a separate backend.

  • Non-technical founders

  • Students with app ideas
  • Teams replacing spreadsheets

Key features

Chat-based app building

Describe an idea, plan it in Discuss mode, then let the AI generate pages, data models and logic you refine by prompt.

Built-in backend

Every app gets a database, authentication, analytics and hosting, so a published app goes live without separate services.

Superagents

Agents that run scheduled workflows, join meetings to take notes, browse the web and connect to your everyday tools.

Integrations and connectors

Send email, generate images or call an LLM with built-in integrations, or connect Slack, Salesforce, GitHub and Google Workspace.

Code export and GitHub

On Builder and higher plans, export the frontend and backend functions to GitHub or a ZIP file and download data as CSV.

Mobile apps and app store files

Build from the iOS and Android apps, and on Builder or higher generate the IPA and AAB files needed for app store submission.

Use cases

  • Replace a shared spreadsheet with a booking app that has user logins and email confirmations.
  • Build a client portal for a small agency and connect it to a custom domain on a paid plan.
  • Set up a Superagent that joins video meetings and emails the notes and action items afterward.
  • Prototype a study planner as a student, then export the code to GitHub when it needs a developer.

Pricing

Pricing from
$20/month

Free includes 25 message and 100 integration credits a month for up to 5 apps. Monthly billing is $20 for Starter, $50 for Builder, $100 for Pro and from $200 for Elite; yearly billing cuts each by 20%, so Starter becomes $16/month.

Ways to save

  • Yearly billing saves 20% on every paid plan, for example Starter at $16/month instead of $20.
  • Verified students get 50% off the Starter or Builder plan for up to 12 months.
  • Discuss mode uses fewer credits than Edit mode, and manual visual edits in the editor use none.
  • Buying a plan in the iOS app can cost more than on base44.com because Apple adds its own fees.

What is Base44?

Base44 is an AI builder for apps, websites and agents that runs entirely in the browser or its mobile apps. It handles the frontend, backend, data and hosting in one place, and Wix has owned it since June 2025.

Developers can also work outside the chat: Base44 offers a JavaScript SDK, a CLI and a backend service they can connect to React, Vue or React Native projects.

How credits work

Each prompt costs message credits based on how much the AI has to change, and costs are calculated after the action runs. A small text tweak is about 0.5 credits, while an app-wide change can take 3–4. Previewing and clicking through your app is free, and so are manual visual edits in the editor.

Limitations

  • The Free plan’s 5-credit daily cap makes longer build sessions impractical.
  • Credit costs are calculated only after an action runs, so spending is hard to predict.
  • GitHub integration, backend functions, model selection and code export start on Builder at $50/month.
  • Connecting a domain and managing app security aren’t available from a mobile browser.

Base44 FAQ

Yes. The Free plan includes 25 message credits a month, capped at 5 per day, plus 100 integration credits and up to 5 apps with authentication, a database and analytics. Custom domains, code edits and unlimited apps need a paid plan.

Message credits are spent when the AI builds or changes your app, roughly 0.5 to 4 credits per request. Integration credits are spent when the running app uses built-in services such as sending an email, generating an image or calling an LLM.

Wix owns Base44. Wix announced the acquisition on June 18, 2025, and the Base44 site footer now reads Wix.com Ltd. Domains can be bought through Wix from inside a Base44 app.

Yes, on Builder or higher. You can export the frontend code and backend functions to GitHub or as a ZIP file and download database collections as CSV. The Free and Starter plans don't include export or GitHub integration.

Yes. Students who verify their status get 50% off the Starter or Builder plan for up to 12 months, and the free plan remains available. Base44 also reviews education and non-profit pricing requests case by case.
