| Integrations | One-click connectors include Salesforce, Notion, Slack, Google Calendar, Google Drive, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Docs, LinkedIn, TikTok, Gmail and Discord. | Webhooks can send event data to services such as Zapier, Slack, and Discord or trigger custom workflows. |
| Security | Base44 states that applications use AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.2+, security scans, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 controls. | The maker says database credentials are encrypted before storage, data retrieved from databases is not cached, and self-hosted deployments keep encryption keys on the server. |
| Self-hosting | Base44 describes its backend as managed infrastructure and does not document self-hosting the Base44 service. | Self-hosting keeps data within the user's infrastructure and supports access to intranet databases without exposing them to the internet. |

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.
