In their own words
Base44
Base44 turns plain-language descriptions into apps, websites, agents, backends and games. It generates code, structure, design and logic without requiring coding experience, and sets up user logins, authentication, data storage and role-based permissions as an app is built. Hosting, analytics and custom domains are included, and published apps are live and shareable. Its Superagents can automate workflows, manage data and connect with tools. One-click connectors include Salesforce, Notion, Slack, HubSpot, LinkedIn, TikTok, Discord, Gmail and Google Workspace services; custom integrations can connect other services with APIs using the user's credentials. Base44 says users own their code, data and users, and can export source through two-way GitHub sync. The free plan allows up to five apps with 25 message credits and 100 integration credits per month. Starter costs $16 a month, billed annually. Higher listed paid plans cost 40.00 USD, 80.00 USD and $160 a month, each billed annually. The platform lists web and API access, but no mobile apps.
