Base44 is a no‑code AI platform that transforms plain language into fully operational apps—complete with back-end, front-end, database, authentication, deployment, and more… all without you typing a single bracket. It’s the “Batteries Included” for the app-building world.
Remember the days of stitching together Supabase, Stripe, SendGrid, and Glue? Base44 does it all—database, email, payment, storage, analytics—bundled and life‑ready at the snap of your fingers.
Picture this: Maor Shlomo, solo founder—under fire (literally, war zones) and without VC cash—codes like a wizard with AI, hits 400K users, clicks $1M ARR
in three weeks, and gets acquired by Wix for $80 million in just six months. Talk about a plot twist.
There’s love and there’s skepticism. On Reddit, some say it's great for simple apps:
“Tried Base44. Easy to use for simple apps. Not as strong as Bubble, but support is good. Fine for beginners
But others raise eyebrows—questioning authenticity of glowing comments and warning of vendor lock-in or limited backend flexibility.
And over on Trustpilot, the reviews are polarized:
One user raves:
“this is amazing! i published my shipping app and it’s gone viral!”
Another? Not so kind.
“By far, the worst natural language development platform… absolutely no support.”
So, take the hype—and the horror stories—with a pinch of sass and a grain of salt.
Even fairy tales have dragons. In July 2025, Base44 had a hiccup: a bug in exposed API endpoints let bad actors bypass authentication using a public app_id
. Thankfully, Wix fixed it in a day. No breach was detected, but it’s a reminder that “vibe coding”—building with AI—comes with new battlegrounds.
Base44 isn’t just a tool—it’s a trailblazer in the no-code AI frontier. It invites ideas over syntax, prose over semicolons, and it imagines a world where creativity isn't gated by code. It’s for dreamers, builders, and anyone who ever said, “I have ideas but not the dev skills to make them real.”
Base44 is a shimmering promise: apps from words, real fast. It’s bold, empowering—and yes, sometimes messy. But for those tired of setup hell, it’s magical. Whether you’re an ideator, educator, or enterprise exec—Base44 just might speak your language.
