How much does Base44 cost?

• Free: Up to 5 apps. Custom domains start at Starter.

• Pro: Everything on Builder, plus early access to beta features.
• Elite: Everything on Pro, plus premium support. The top of the published ladder.
• Enterprise: Priced on request. The pricing page gives no figures.

Base44 is Wix-owned: the footer of its own site reads “© 2026 Wix.com Ltd. All rights reserved.”

If you are weighing Base44 against Lovable, our comparison of Lovable and Base44 sets the two models side by side.

Message credits, while you build:

Integration credits, while your app runs:

• Auto mode is the default: Base44 picks the model for each request.
• Choosing a model yourself needs a Builder plan or higher — the “AI model select” line on the plan cards.
• In Base44's words: “When you choose a model manually, credit usage varies by model and may use more credits than Auto mode.”
• Their credits page puts it from the other side: the exact number “is worked out after each message runs and can vary depending on a number of factors, including the work involved and the model you are using.”

• The free plan card lists 25 message credits and 100 integration credits a month, up to 5 apps, and “Authentication, database functionality, analytics.”
• Base44 says you can finish something on it: “The Free plan is a full free AI app maker with every core feature, and you can ship complete apps on it.”
• Apps on the free plan are public. Base44's own answer to whether you can create private apps on it: “No. On the Free plan, you can only build public apps.”
• Connecting your own domain is listed on every paid plan, from Starter up. Base44's billing docs list 'Remove the Base44 platform badge from your app' on the Starter plan; the Builder, Pro and Elite lists do not repeat it.

• 25 message credits a month, and no more than 5 of them in a single day — so the monthly allowance takes at least five days to use.
• 100 integration credits a month for what your app does with Base44's services.
• Up to 5 apps.
• The daily allowance resets at midnight in the workspace owner's local timezone. If the workspace has no recorded timezone, or you are not its owner, it resets at midnight UTC instead.
• Custom domains start at the paid Starter plan.

• Base44 describes what happens at the daily limit: “features that require credits are unavailable until your daily balance resets, as long as you still have monthly credits left.”
• Paid plans are described only by their monthly reset: message and integration credits reset on the same day of the month you subscribed.
• Your workspace's credit usage page has a daily usage chart, with separate tabs for message and integration credits.

Daily limit on paid plans: not publicly stated (as of 21 September 2026)

• Out of message credits: you cannot send new messages in the AI chat until you have credits again. The chat shows your remaining balance and offers a way to get more.
• Out of integration credits: Base44 emails you, and any action that needs them fails with an error saying you have used them all.
• Your app's own users see less than you do: when one of them triggers an action that needs integration credits, they get a generic error message with no reference to integration credits.

• Unused credits expire at the end of each cycle. Nothing carries over to the next month.
• Paid plans reset monthly on your reset date — the same day of the month you subscribed, at the time you bought it, measured in UTC.
• The free plan's daily allowance runs on its own clock, described above.

• Base44's answer to how apps are deployed: “Base44 comes with built-in hosting — when your app is ready, it's instantly live and shareable. No deployment process, no setup.”
• On fees beyond the plan price, their pricing page says: “No hidden fees. Your plan covers monthly credits, included integrations, and the support level for your tier.” Third-party services you connect to your app, such as Stripe or OpenAI, bill you directly.
• A running app uses integration credits whenever it calls one of Base44's built-in services — an email, an image, an LLM call, a workflow step. Reading and writing your app's database does not: “Standard database operations are included at no extra credit cost.”
• Stopping payment does not take your apps offline. Cancelling downgrades the workspace to the free plan at the end of the billing period, with “a maximum of 5 apps. Your apps stay live, but you may lose access to features that are only available on paid plans.”

• Their pricing page says: “If you run out of credits before the cycle resets, you can top up at any time.”
• Not on the free plan. Base44's top-up doc: “You need an active paid plan to purchase and use top-ups.” The same page also says: “This feature is not open to all users.”

• Comparing two models runs your message twice: “Comparing builds your message twice, so it uses 2× credits.” Comparing needs a Builder plan or higher, the same as choosing a model.
• The free first-year domain is for yearly billing only. Base44's billing docs: “You have to have a yearly plan to get the free domain, it is not available on the monthly plan.”
• Backend functions are not on every plan. Base44's plans doc: “Backend functions are available on the Builder plan and higher, and they are part of the usage model.”
