About Base44
Base44 turns a plain-language description into a working web app, then keeps editing it as you chat. Unlike builders that hand you only a front end, it bundles the pieces most small apps need: a database, user sign-in, file storage, payments, analytics and hosting, so a first version can go live without wiring up separate services. A visual editor sits alongside the chat for adjusting layout and styling, and higher plans allow direct code edits and a GitHub connection. It is aimed at founders, small businesses and internal teams who want a functional tool rather than a mock-up, and it also generates marketing sites and simple AI agents. Base44 was acquired by Wix in 2025 and continues as its own product. Pricing is credit-based: a free plan with a small monthly allowance of AI messages, then monthly tiers that raise the credit limits and unlock custom domains and code access. Everything runs in the browser, and the apps live on Base44's own infrastructure.
Best for: Non-developers who want a working app with database and login without setting up a backend.
