Base44
Prompt-to-app builder that generates full-stack web apps with database, auth, and hosting.
Acquired — still operating
acquired by Wix Jun 2025 (~$80M); standalone
About
Base44 turns a plain-language description into a working web application, generating the interface, data model, business logic, database, user authentication, and hosting in one pass. The platform bundles integrations for email, SMS, file uploads, image generation, Stripe payments, and LLM calls, so a non-technical founder can ship an internal tool or customer portal without wiring up external services.
Founded by Maor Shlomo, Base44 was acquired by Wix in June 2025 for approximately 80 million dollars and continues to operate as a standalone product. It offers a free plan with 25 message credits per month, paid tiers starting at 16 dollars per month on annual billing, and publishes an SDK, CLI, and MCP server for developers who want code access or GitHub export.
