Base44
polished, batteries-included — and now owned by wix
a polished all-in-one with a built-in database, auth and integrations — great for non-technical builders, but more platform-bound than bolt or softgen, and pricier since the wix acquisition.
base44 builds full-stack web apps on its own all-in-one platform, with a built-in database, auth and integrations rather than a bring-your-own stack — which makes it fast and friendly for non-technical builders. it was acquired by wix in june 2025 for around $80m plus earn-outs, and hit roughly $100m arr within nine months, so it's well-resourced.
the trade-offs are ownership and cost. it's more platform-bound than the export-first tools — confirm the current export options before assuming you can leave with your code — and long-time users report effective costs 15-30% higher since the wix deal, partly due to the dual message/integration credit system. batteries-included, at a price.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
