Summary

Our read

  • Where it fits best: Simple internal apps with data and login, no setup.
  • Ease (5/5): A non-coder can realistically get from a blank prompt to a working, shareable tool with login and stored data in one sitting.
  • Hosting: included (Built-in hosting, database, auth, analytics). That shortens setup; it also means your app and its data live on Base44's platform.
  • Metering to watch: live apps consume integration credits. When credits run out, actions that use them pause until your monthly reset; Base44 doesn't bill overage.

Pricing

Plans and prices

  • Free
  • Starter $20 ($16 annual)

What the free plan includes

Hosting and data

Where your app and data live

Hosting and deployment: Built-in hosting, database, auth, analytics.

Data and security notes:

  • Data stays in Base44 (owned by Wix)
  • limited code export: ZIP or two-way GitHub sync from Builder, but exported code still relies on Base44 to run
  • live apps consume integration credits

Code ownership: limited code export: ZIP or two-way GitHub sync from Builder, but exported code still relies on Base44 to run.
