Use tool ↗About Base44
Base44 is a hosted vibe-coding platform: you describe an app in plain language and it builds the interface, database, user authentication, integrations and hosting in one place, with a visual editor and in-app code edits for tweaks. It also builds websites with built-in SEO tools and AI agents that act on connected tools, and adds analytics, custom domains and payments. Usage is metered in message and integration credits per month. Wix bought the startup in 2025, and Wix.com Ltd. now operates the service under the Base44 name.

Pros & cons of Base44
Base44 is one of the faster routes from an idea to a working app with login, database and hosting included, which suits non-developers and small teams. Credits are consumed by every AI message, so the monthly price matters less than how many iterations your app needs.
Pros
- Backend, database, authentication, hosting and payments are built in
- Free plan covers up to 5 apps for experimenting
- In-app code edits and GitHub integration on paid tiers
- Choice of AI model on higher plans
Cons
- Credits per month are small on the lower plans, so long builds can run out
- Headline paid prices assume annual billing
- GitHub integration and model selection are not on the Starter plan
Best for
- Non-technical founders and operators who want a working internal tool or MVP quickly
- Small businesses that want an app and a website built on one platform
- Builders who want backend, auth and payments handled without setup
Not for
- Developers who want full control over their own repository and hosting stack
- Teams that require self-hosting, since Base44 is a hosted service
Watch out: Every AI message and integration action spends credits, and complex apps with many revisions can use an allowance quickly. The $16 headline price is the annual-billing rate for the smallest paid plan.
