Base44 Pricing and Base44 Cost Across All Base44 Plans

Base44 has a Free plan with 25 message credits and 100 integration credits a month, capped at 5 message credits a day, and a limit of 5 apps. It includes the core builder, authentication, the database and analytics. It does not include a custom domain, in-app code edits or removal of the Base44 badge, and 100 integration credits covers about 100 emails a month. For an app your customers or staff depend on, Free is a test drive, not a plan.

No. On paid plans, message and integration credits reset once a month on the day you subscribed, and anything unused expires at the reset. That is true on annual plans too: you pay once a year but receive credits monthly. Bonus credits and top-up credits never carry over either.

There is one exception. If you move from a monthly plan to a higher monthly plan mid-cycle, you pay the full price difference and your unused credits carry over for one more cycle, up to one month of your old plan's credits. Any upgrade that involves a yearly plan is prorated instead, and unused credits expire at the next reset as usual. Switching from monthly to yearly billing does not give you a fresh set of credits mid-month.

Compare that with Lovable, where monthly plan credits stay valid for two months and annual plan credits last the whole term. If your usage is lumpy, with a heavy launch month and quiet months after, Base44's use-it-or-lose-it reset costs more than the list price suggests. Our Lovable pricing guide has the full rollover rules for comparison.

When the workspace hits its credit limit, every action that uses credits pauses until the next monthly reset. For building, that means the AI chat stops. For a published app, it means the built-in services stop too: emails, file uploads, LLM calls, in-app agents and workflows that draw on integration credits. On Free, hitting the 5-credit daily cap pauses those features until midnight.

The published way out is to upgrade, which takes effect as soon as you pay and adds the new plan's extra credits right away. For any app that customers use, watch the Credit usage page in workspace settings, which breaks spending down by app and by source, and size the plan for your busiest month rather than your average one.

Base44 Enterprise is custom priced through sales, with custom credit volumes, invoice or ACH billing and a dedicated account team. Base44's enterprise docs list what the contract adds: single sign-on with your identity provider (including Microsoft Entra ID), enforced workspace SSO, SCIM user provisioning, IP allowlists, a choice of US, EU or UK data residency, publishing and visibility controls by role, a default monthly credit cap per member with individual overrides, workspace API keys for audit logs through a Monitoring API, connector controls, the option to switch off Superagents across the workspace, and embedding the builder inside your own product. Base44 also lists custom training, a dedicated point of contact and a support channel with guaranteed response times.

Base44 publishes no Enterprise price. If SSO is your only hard requirement, get a quote and set it against Lovable Business before you sign, because that is where the two products diverge most on cost.

The largest Base44 discount anyone can get is annual billing, which takes 20% off every paid plan: Starter drops from $20 to $16 a month, Builder from $50 to $40, Pro from $100 to $80 and Elite from $200 to $160. On Elite that is $480 a year. Two cautions before you commit. Annual credits still reset every month and unused credits still expire, so a year up front buys a lower price, not a bigger pool. And Base44 publishes no volume or multi-workspace discount on its pricing page; anything beyond the listed plans goes through Enterprise sales.

Students, teachers and staff at accredited schools, including K-12 and US colleges with .edu addresses, get 50% off Starter or Builder after verifying a school email. On monthly billing the discount lasts up to 12 months, and on annual billing it covers the first year. It applies once per person, to personal subscriptions only, not to team workspace billing, and cannot be combined with a promo code. Nonprofit pricing is handled case by case through support.

Many Base44 apps are internal tools that automate one recurring job: triaging support email, chasing invoices, enriching leads, routing documents. Building that takes an afternoon. Running it is where the meter keeps going, because every email, extraction and AI step comes out of the same integration pool, and the pool resets to zero every month.

If the job already exists as a product, a ready-made agent is often the cheaper path. Agents on AgentMarketplace start at $49 a month flat, connect to the tools you already use with permissions you can revoke, and do not bill per email or per AI call. Browse the agent catalog by the job before you size a Base44 plan around it, and keep Base44 for the app you are actually selling. If you are still choosing an app builder, our Lovable alternatives price comparison puts Base44 next to Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit and Cursor for a 10-person team, and the Replit pricing page covers the other workspace-priced option.
