Anything vs Base44

Anything

• Non-developers who want a mobile app with payments and a backend in one tool
• Founders launching subscription apps on the App Store
• Builders willing to pay more for an agent that tests and fixes its own work

Base44

• Non-developers building internal tools, portals or back-office apps
• Builders who want database, login and hosting handled in one product
• Students and teachers, who can verify a school email for half-price plans

Anything

• There is no free plan for building: a paid subscription is required before the first app is generated.
• Subscriptions are not refunded and annual payments are non-refundable; credit refunds cover failed generations only.
• Max mode, parallel agents and automated testing need a Max plan, from $199 a month billed annually.
• Google Play publishing is in beta, and the docs warn that some built-in integrations may be temporarily unavailable.

Base44

• The Free plan is limited to 25 message credits a month and 5 apps.
• GitHub integration, AI model selection and app-store files all start on the Builder plan.
• Listed prices assume annual billing; the pricing page says yearly billing is 20% cheaper than monthly.
• Connecting a domain and managing app security are not available when editing on a mobile device.

Anything

Agent with selectable modes

Build by chatting with an agent that has Auto, Discussion, Plan, Thinking and Fast modes. Each mode uses a different amount of credits.

Mobile and web apps

The same agent builds iOS and Android apps for the app stores as well as web apps and websites. Mobile projects are previewed on a phone through Expo Go.

Built-in backend

Every project ships with a backend for functions and API routes, a PostgreSQL database, user accounts with sign-up and login, and file uploads.

Payments

Stripe handles payments in web apps and RevenueCat handles subscriptions and in-app purchases on iOS; the agent sets either up from a prompt.

Max mode

On Max plans the agent works autonomously: it builds, opens the app in a real browser, tests it like a user and fixes problems, with several agents in parallel.

Publishing and export

Web apps go live on Anything's hosting with custom domains on paid plans. Mobile apps are submitted through TestFlight, and code can be downloaded.

Base44

Prompt-to-app building

Describe an app in plain language and Base44 generates the frontend, backend, database and login. A typical message uses roughly 0.5 to 4 credits depending on scope.

Built-in backend and services

Every plan includes a database, authentication and user management, cloud storage and analytics. Built-in services such as email and image generation draw on integration credits.

Visual editor

A responsive visual editor handles layout and text changes directly. Manual edits such as dragging elements or editing text do not use credits.

Connectors and integrations

One-click connectors cover Salesforce, Notion, Slack, HubSpot, Gmail and Google Workspace apps, with manual API integrations for tools such as Twilio and Zapier.

Code access and GitHub sync

Paid plans allow in-app code edits, and two-way GitHub sync, listed from the Builder plan, exports the full source code to your own repository.

Mobile apps and store files

Base44 has iOS and Android apps for building on the go, and the editor can generate the IPA and AAB files needed for the App Store and Google Play on Builder or higher.
