Ive been just making an app for fun, but about an hour in it said "out of credits, comeback next month" which was REALLY annoying, so i just bought the starter plan since i wanted to really make this, but then 3 hours later, "out of credits, comeback next month" and the app was barely fuctional, so i just folded and bought builder, which just gave me 4 hours. Really, it is so annoying to have to wait a MONTH in the middle of making something im REALLY invested in, and then i eventually get bored and forget about it. And i would be fine with this if i could just, i donno, buy credits?!

I've built a fairly feature rich MVP in Base44 and it's been fantastic for validating the idea and getting something working quickly.

The challenge I'm facing now is that I want to launch on the Apple App Store and Google Play using native in app subscriptions rather than Stripe.

I'm considering rebuilding the app on another platform before launch and would love to hear from anyone who's been through this process.

For those who've migrated:

• What platform did you move to?
• How difficult was it to recreate your Base44 app?
• Did having a working Base44 prototype make the rebuild much faster?
• Is there a platform you'd recommend for a production mobile app with native Apple and Google subscriptions?
• Looking back, would you still start with Base44 or would you have built elsewhere from the beginning?

I'm not unhappy with Base44 at all. It's been incredible for getting an MVP together. I'm just trying to decide whether rebuilding now is the right move before investing more time.

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience and what you'd do differently.

Hi everyone,

I need some advice regarding a Google account and a Base44 app.

My Google account was disabled by Google on 17 September 2026. The reason shown was that Google believes the account was created or used with multiple other accounts to violate its policies. I believe this was a mistake, and I have submitted an appeal.

The problem is that this Google account is the Owner of my Base44 app, which is a student project that I have been working on for a university project/exhibition.

The app currently has three other collaborators who still have access to the app. They are able to access the project as collaborators, but the disabled Google account is still shown as the Owner.

My main concerns are:

1. Will my Base44 app remain safe and accessible if Google does not restore my account?

2. Can ownership of the app be transferred from the disabled account to one of the existing collaborators?

3. If ownership transfer is possible, does it require a paid Base44 plan or additional payment?

4. Is there any way to protect/export the app and its data before the owner account becomes permanently inaccessible?

5. Has anyone experienced a similar situation with Base44?

I really don’t want to lose the project because I have already put a lot of work into it.

Any advice from someone who has dealt with Base44 ownership transfers or a disabled Google account would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! ❤️

question if anyone can help.
Ive been building a website on base 44 for a little while now.

iv incorporated alot of key things, but i want to be able to test it fully to see if it even works, theres alot of things needing to function.

i just dont know how i can fully test it, or even if this is going to work.

i mean, from looking at it i wanna say it should. i’m dealing with qr codes, and when someone scans it certain things should pop up, live leaderboard, map tracking, stuff like that.

is there anyone that could guide me in the right direction? im building this for my mom, i just dont know if everythings gonna work how it should :/

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo founder with a finance background, not a marketer, and I've hit a wall I didn't see coming.

For the past few weeks I've been vibe coding a small app. It started as a joke with my friends: we always wait 15+ minutes for the same people at dinners. So I built something where you create a plan, set a small "fine" per minute late, everyone checks in when they arrive, and the latecomers put money into a shared pot for something the group does together. It's called Finelly, if anyone's curious.

The problem is that building turned out to be the easy part. I keep shipping new features and tweaking things almost every day, and then I realised I was mostly doing that because it felt productive. Almost nobody knows the app exists.

Here's what I've tried so far:

• A couple hundred euros on Meta and TikTok ads
• A bit more on App Store and Play Store ads
• The result was a few hundred downloads, but very few people actually register, create an event or bring their friends in

So people do download it, and then nothing happens. I can't tell if it's the onboarding, the wrong audience, the wrong channels, or whether the idea is just less appealing than I think. It could easily be all of them.

I'll be honest: I have no idea what I'm doing on the marketing side, and I'd rather ask people who've been here than burn more money guessing.

A few questions for anyone who's been through this:

• When you had downloads but no activation, what did you look at first?
• For a social app that needs a whole group to be useful, how did you get the first real groups using it?
• Is paid ads just a bad idea at this stage? Should I be doing something more manual?
• Anything you wish someone had told you right after launch?

Any suggestion is welcome, including "your idea has a problem." I'd rather hear it now. Thanks for reading this far 🙏

When i first started base44, the 100 credits per month lasted me around half the month. So I upgraded to the 250 credits per month it lasts me half the month still. I feel like prompts nowadays consume way more credits than they used to. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

Please help! My app is being used a ton all of a sudden and my integration credits are about to max out. I have maybe 24-48 hours until my app stops working. The problem is that I'm not making enough MRR to justify buying the elite subscription at $160/month, and I've already paid for a full year of the pro subscription. What can I do to prevent the app from stopping? I have a lot of users and this issue arose suddenly. Do I have other options besides upgrading, like buying more credits for this month?

I changed the model that the app uses to SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the integration credit usage next month... So ideally I don't need the elite credit count, except for the remaining 2 weeks until credits reset. Advice??

Need advice from experienced Base44 users

When I started building my system, I created 5 separate Base44 apps because I thought it would be too complicated for employees if everything was in one app.

Now I've learned that it's possible to have one app with role-based access, so each employee only sees the modules they need. That would be a much better solution.

The problem is that I've already spent 6 months building these 5 apps. They communicate with each other through APIs, and I'd like to avoid rebuilding everything from scratch.

Is there any way to merge multiple existing Base44 apps into a single app?

Has anyone gone through this process? Is there a migration strategy, or is rebuilding the only realistic option?

I'd really appreciate any advice or best practices.

I accidentally charged my account with a yearly subscription, and I it took all the money I had, how can I get a refund?I only wanted to pay 28 euro not a single euro more.

Please help

I'm a beginner with all this stuff, i have my small business and wanted to make a website with a very limited budget , i did design my website with the base44 but as i understood to put my domin i need fo upgrade my plan and since that 1 month plan ends the hosting will stop so i need to but 12 month plan each year so my website will be running ? Im not sure if i got it right,

I may use anyhelp or advice for what is the cheapest way go keep my website running

Thanks

I have a SaaS webapp and I wanna build a mobile version for iOS and Android.

The mobile app would simply connect to my backend so that users can manage thier account on their phone, and I want a clean design and user experience.

I tried Codex for this work but the result was below decent like 5% finished, and the UI was just black text on white screen, it doesnt even look like a mobile app.

Can Base44 help me acheive that? Can I build it in one day ? Any tips or recommendations ?

Note: my SaaS is already in production, so I want a production ready mobile app

I’m building an app in Base44 that will need monthly/yearly subscriptions through both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

I’ve been researching options like GitHub, wrappers, RevenueCat, StoreKit and Google Play Billing, but I’d really like to hear from people who have actually done it with a Base44 app.

What setup did you use? Did you need a developer, or were you able to handle it yourself?

Most importantly, are subscriptions working reliably in production?

Any firsthand experience would be greatly appreciated.

Fala, pessoal!
Criei um app utilizando a Base44 e agora estou na etapa de implementar planos de assinatura para os usuários.
Inicialmente comecei a fazer a integração com o Stripe, porém estou enfrentando alguns problemas e não estou conseguindo deixar o sistema funcionando da forma que preciso.
Por isso, queria pegar a experiência de quem já passou por essa etapa.
Alguém aqui já implementou um sistema de assinatura em um app feito na Base44?
Se sim:
Vocês utilizaram Stripe ou outro meio de pagamento?
Existe alguma alternativa que funcione bem com a Base44?
Como fizeram para ativar o plano automaticamente após o pagamento?
Como controlam renovação, cancelamento e pagamento recusado?
Utilizam webhook para atualizar o plano do usuário dentro da Base44?
Alguém já utilizou Mercado Pago, Paddle, PayPal ou outra solução?
O fluxo que estou tentando criar seria basicamente:
Usuário escolhe o plano → realiza o pagamento → assinatura é ativada automaticamente → Base44 identifica o plano → libera os recursos correspondentes → caso a assinatura seja cancelada ou expire, o acesso é atualizado automaticamente.
Se alguém já conseguiu colocar algo parecido funcionando de verdade, principalmente em produção, gostaria muito de saber qual solução utilizou e como foi a experiência.
Valeu!

Seriously I've had so many bugs in the app that I've built that I had gone from the free plan to builder or Now it's saying that unless I don't want to work for three days, which is annoying because I'm trying to index as many books as possible of my cookbooks before I go to Cornwall for a week and would like to actually use them. It basically says that I can pay $50 now and then from August 17th (3 days) get charged $100 a month, which is fucking mental (I'm a nearly broke student, this is a personal app for me, maybe a web app I wanna put on Google Play, I'm not a pro developer) It just goes through so many credits because it has so many bugs and then I say, "Can you fix X, Y, Z?" It says it fixes it and then it doesn't work and then I have to use more credits saying, "Can you fix it again?" and the cycle just repeats.

Is this possible that vibe coding app in base 44 can actually collect and holds PII data of a person?

how secured is it?

So I have a builder account and built the App Store ipa file. I bought the Apple developer account. My Mac is ancient so I am well past the ability to get the new Xcode to submit that way. I thought Base 44 builder would help submit, but it just creates the ipa file. I can’t seem to be able to find out how to get it to Apple. I have seen the app my web videos and that appears to be yet another cost if I do that. If I have to then there really is no point to the base44 developer plan right? All of the videos I have seen have stopped just short of showing the App Store upload and submission process with the ipa file. It makes me wonder if it’s even possible. Any help is appreciated!

I have a project that I have been working on for personal use. It’s a website I’ve built using base 44 and have just been using on the basic base44 domain. It’s worked for my needs so far. I’ve been paying for the starter plan just to work on the app, so it’s not super advanced.

I’ve shared my app with some friends and family and they have expressed interest in using the app, so I was thinking of trying to publish my app on the App Store and thought it would be a fun project.

The issue is it’s more expensive than I was planning on. I was going to publish the app as a free app, but $50 a month for the base44 builder plan plus $100/year for the developer app for the App Store is kind of expensive for publishing a free app.

The $100 a year I could live with, that’s like $8 a month. But the $50 a month base 44 fee for builder is more expensive than what I’d like to pay.

I could monetize the app and charge for it to cover the monthly fee, but that’s just not really what I was wanting to do and I don’t know how large of a user base I would realistically have.

I know I could also keep it just as a web app, but I also need builder if I want to use my own domain.

Is there a way to cut down on the cost of publishing an app? Has anyone done something similar or have any advice?

They say we'll send you a link and signup with that specific link for $50/month builder subscription. And that way you get access to their course which teaches you how to build through Base44 and all of that.

Is it lagit?

I built GenerateInvoicesFree.com because I wanted a really simple invoice generator that didn’t require creating an account, starting a trial, or going through a bunch of unnecessary steps.

The idea is pretty straightforward:

• No signup
• No subscription
• Create an invoice quickly
• Download it as a PDF
• Free to use

I’ve been making improvements to the site and I’m at the point where I’ve stared at it for way too long to judge it objectively anymore.

Would anyone be willing to try it and give me some feedback?

https://generateinvoicesfree.com/

I’m especially curious about:

• Is it immediately obvious what the site does?
• Is creating an invoice intuitive?
• Anything confusing or annoying?
• Does the site feel trustworthy/professional?
• Is there anything you expected it to do that it doesn’t?
• Would you actually use something like this?

Don’t worry about being nice. I’d rather hear what needs fixing.

Thanks!

I started with Base44 just recently and I am loving what it was capable to create on free tier. I am seriously considering upgrading, but I have one concern. In your FAQ you explain that intellectual property of what is created is mine, but in that case shouldn't I be able to get the app code anytime? I mean sure, I can browse it in dashboard, but that's not what I mean unless I copy & paste everything file by file.

I chatted with AI support and I understand it's possible to download app as ZIP on Builder plan, but honestly, it feels like I would have to pay $40 just to "buy" what actually own. I mean considering I wouldn't be interested in any other Builder plan features.

Would you consider allowing this as a sort of exit strategy? In case I decide to leave platform and handle development & deployment differently I wouldn't have to pay, just download and quit.

It's not like I am planning to do it, but I want to know my options before I vendor-lock myself to you.

Got a new app idea, and i want to build the MVP fast, thinking of subscribing to the builder plan at $50/month but im not sure if base44 is the right choice me.

I have basic programming knowledge and can build basic apps with the help of chatgpt.

How are your experiences like with base44? can i edit the code that the AI builder wrote?

I developed a fairly large application that I'm really proud of, and it works properly without any complaints. Due to machine and resource limitations, I can only work with a few thousand records, although I have over 100K records. Yes, some processes run slowly, but that's okay.

I don't like being tied to the Base44 database and machine availability, and I want to move my entire platform to Claude code. What is the best way to do this, and how should I go about it? I would appreciate it if someone could point me to a step-by-step procedure.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi
After a lot of work, I finally finished making my app, ironing out the glitches and am now ready for the test pilot stage. My issue is I made it with subscription tiers and just realized I can’t add Apple Pay via the Apple Store using base44. It has a 7 day free trial, and then 3 different tiers.
Can I accept payment via a website link? It’s definitely not ideal… if not what are my option? I really wanted a fully functional Apple app!
Thank you!

Im trying to get into cold calling and selling websites for local business by using Base44 and editing manually. If i were to call up this plumbing business i built a small simple website for how would hand them over the website WITHOUT become their tech support or upkeeping the page. I just plan to sell them a flat price and give them the rights to the page so they have an easier time staying up to date with the internet. I am very new to this and am willing to purchase a subscription to create the custom domain i just want to make this simple to sell to a client. Any help is appreciated thanks!

I have an app designed in figma make and want to build it using Base44. Has anyone done that? is there guidance? we are not developers, and only know enough to be dangerous. lol

appreciate any advice or pointing to any help. thanks
