FAQs about Base44:

What can I build with Base44?

You can actually build several types of apps with Base44. This vibe-coding platform works well for personal productivity apps, internal business tools, customer portals, dashboards, and even full prototypes. Teams use it for operations tracking, HR workflows, CRM tools, and marketing automation.

How much does Base44 cost?

The Starter plan ($25/month) includes 100 message credits, 2,000 integration credits, unlimited apps, and in-app code edits. Meanwhile, the Builder plan ($50/month) offers 250 message credits, 10,000 integration credits, backend functions, AI model selection, GitHub integration, and other features.

Which is better, Base44 AI or Lovable?

Both Base44 and Lovable are vibe coding platforms built for non-technical users who want to build a fully functional custom app without writing code. Base44 takes an all-in-one approach, with built-in hosting, a fully integrated backend and database, authentication systems, and integrations all included from the start, no separate setup needed.

Lovable, on the other hand, stores its database externally through Supabase, which gives more advanced users greater portability but makes it less of an out-of-the-box experience. For teams that need a full-stack, working app with everything already connected, Base44 is the stronger fit, while Lovable is better suited for rapid MVP creation and early-stage idea validation.

You don't need to map out every detail in your initial prompt; you can refine and add specific requirements as you go. The free plan is a great way to test things out before paying for a higher tier.
