Base44 vs Superblocks (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Base44 if

• Fits if you can't code and need an internal tool, a portal or a back-office app
• Works for students and teachers, who get half off Starter or Builder with a school email

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free, with 25 message credits a month, up to 4 per message, and 5 apps
• Pricey if you want your code in GitHub or the app-store files, because those start on the $40 Builder plan
• Skip it if you hate meters, as AI building and built-in services each run on their own credits
• Watch out: the listed prices assume a year upfront, and the pricing page says yearly billing is 20% cheaper than monthly
• Not for you if you build on a phone, since connecting a domain and managing app security don't work there

Pick Superblocks if

• Makes sense if IT wants control over the internal apps its teams build
• Fits if you have up to 15 builders to put on one plan

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a free plan: only a 14-day trial exists
• Pricey if you're one person: Teams is $100 a month flat
• Watch out: Teams stops at 15 builders and 1 hosted app, then apps are $10 each a month
• Watch out: SSO, role-based access, audit logs and source control are Enterprise only

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.

• Connecting a domain and managing app security are not available when editing on a mobile device.

Superblocks

• Teams includes 100 Governed Agent Units a month and 1 hosted app; additional GAU packs and apps ($10 each a month) are extra.
• Teams is capped at 15 builders.
• VPC deployment, SSO, RBAC, audit logs and source control are Enterprise-only and priced through sales.
• There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial.

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.

Superblocks

Clark AI agent

An AI agent for building internal apps, with a user memory, included in the Teams plan within a monthly allowance of Governed Agent Units.
