Base44
No-code AI builder with a database, login and hosting included
What is Base44?
Base44 builds apps and websites from plain-language prompts, generating the frontend, backend, database and user authentication together and hosting the result. Apps can be kept private, shared with a team or published to the web, and the source code can be exported through two-way GitHub sync on higher plans. Usage is metered in two kinds of monthly credits: message credits for AI building and integration credits for built-in services.
Base44 has a free plan. Paid plans start at $16 per month, billed annually (Starter). See every plan

Key features
- 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.
