What the free plan includes
The free plan includes Base44's core features, such as building apps with authentication, a database and analytics, within the monthly credit limits. It is enough to build and test a small app. Running a real product with users usually needs a paid plan for credits and features such as custom domains.
Message credits and integration credits
- Message credits are spent when you prompt the AI to build or change the app.
- Integration credits are spent when the running app uses built-in integrations, such as calling an AI model or sending an email. Building uses message credits once. A live app with users spends integration credits continuously, so estimate usage per user before choosing a plan.
An integration triggered on every page view multiplies by every visitor. Trigger paid integrations on user actions, and cache results where possible.
Choosing a plan
- Exploring: Free.
- One small app with light use: Starter.
- Active development and a growing user base: Builder or Pro.
- Several apps or heavy integration use: Pro or Elite. Compare with Lovable, Bolt and v0, which bill building and hosting differently, and factor in whether you will need to move the app later.
What a scan can and cannot tell you
WebAuditOS checks the public side of the app you build, such as titles, legal links and security headers.
It cannot see your Base44 plan, credits or usage.
Before upgrading, check your free plan's usage page to see whether building or running the app is using most credits.
