Base44 vs Hostinger AI Builder

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

Hostinger AI Builder

• Small businesses that want a site, hosting, domain and email on one bill
• Non-developers building booking pages, stores or simple web apps
• Existing Hostinger hosting customers, whose plans already include AI Builder

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.

Hostinger AI Builder

• Plans are paid upfront; the advertised monthly rate assumes a 48-month term and rises at renewal.
• The AI credits bundled with a plan are a one-time gift of 5 or 15; top-ups cost extra and expire after 3 months.
• It builds responsive web apps only, not native mobile apps for the App Store or Google Play.
• If the hosting plan expires and is not renewed, the project goes offline and its data is permanently deleted.

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.

Hostinger AI Builder

Manual and Agentic modes

Manual mode starts from an AI-generated site and is edited by drag-and-drop without using credits. Agentic mode builds and changes a project through chat.

Built-in back end

Agentic projects can add databases, user accounts and file storage without separate services, with data kept on Hostinger's servers.

Hosting, domain and email included

Every plan includes hosting and mailboxes, and a custom domain is free for the first year. Publishing deploys the site or app to a live URL in one click.

Payments and integrations

Stripe payments for subscriptions and one-time charges are built in, and PayPal, Google AdSense and other API-based services can be connected in Agentic mode.

Code editor and export

Agentic mode has a built-in code editor, and paid plans can download the full source code to host elsewhere.

AI features inside your app

Chatbots, smart search and content generators can be added to a live project. Visitor use of these features draws on the same AI credit balance.
