What is Base44?

Base44 is an AI app builder owned by Wix that creates apps with a built-in database, login and hosting from prompts. What it does, who it suits, what to check.

Base44 is an AI app builder, owned by Wix, that creates working web apps from a description: it generates the interface and provides a built-in database, user authentication, integrations and hosting, so non-developers can build internal tools and simple products without managing infrastructure. Plans are based on message and integration credits, with a free tier.

What Base44 does

Generates an app's pages and logic from a chat prompt.
Includes a database, authentication and user management without a separate backend service.
Offers integrations, such as sending email, calling AI models or connecting other services, billed in integration credits.
Hosts the app, with options for custom domains on paid plans. Base44 was founded as an independent startup and acquired by Wix in 2025.

Who it suits

Non-developers building internal tools, trackers, portals and simple customer apps.
Small teams that want an app without choosing a database, auth provider and host.
Quick prototypes to test an idea with real users. Because so much is built in, Base44 is simpler to start with than tools that rely on Supabase or your own hosting, and less portable if you later want to move.

What to check before launch

Access rules: who can see and change each kind of data, tested as a logged-out visitor and as a second user.
Search visibility, if the app has public pages: titles, descriptions and served HTML for each page.
Legal pages: a privacy policy describing what the app collects, and terms.
Accessibility: keyboard use, labels and alt text in generated screens.
Credits: integrations that run on every visit can use up a plan's integration credits quickly.

Builders that handle the backend for you also decide the defaults. Find the permission settings for each data entity and set them deliberately.

Base44 compared with other builders

Lovable, Bolt and v0 generate code you can export to GitHub and host elsewhere, often with Supabase. Base44 keeps more of the stack inside its platform, which is simpler and more contained. Choose based on whether you value convenience now or portability later.

What a scan can and cannot tell you

WebAuditOS checks a Base44 app's public pages from outside: served versus rendered content, titles, legal links, Content Security Policy and alt text.

It cannot log in, read your Base44 data permissions or see your credit usage.

If your app is internal only, keep it behind login and out of search. If it is public, check it like any website.

Short answers

Who owns Base44? Wix acquired it in 2025.

Is Base44 free? There is a free plan with limited credits and apps.

Do I need Supabase with Base44? No. The database and auth are built in.

Can I export Base44 code? Check Base44's current documentation, as export options differ from code-first builders.

The checks this maps to

Every check named here runs on every scan, on every plan - what a plan changes is how many pages are crawled, how long the history is kept and what you can do with the result. These are the ids the findings carry, so you can match a line in a report to the explanation above.

seo.js-rendered-content - Content is present in the served HTML
seo.title.unique - Titles are unique across pages
comp.privacy-policy - Privacy policy linked
sec.headers.csp - Content-Security-Policy header
