How much does Base44 cost? Pricing plans explained

The free plan lets you build and ship at $0, which is why most people start there. It gives you up to 5 credits per day capped at 25 per month, plus 100 integration credits, which is enough to test the platform and build a small app end to end before you pay anything.

The paid tiers step up mainly on credits and capacity. As of 2026 (confirm on the pricing page), Starter at $16/mo includes 100 message credits plus 2,000 integration credits, Builder at $40/mo includes 250 plus 10,000, Pro at $80/mo includes 500 plus 20,000, and Elite at $160/mo includes 1,200 plus 50,000. All paid plans include unlimited apps, GitHub integration, the ability to connect a custom domain, and a free domain for the first year.

Those headline prices are the annual-billing rates. Annual saves about 20 percent versus paying monthly, where the plans run roughly $25, $50, $100, and $200 (approximate). If you are confident you will keep building, annual is the cheaper path; if you want to stay flexible, monthly works and you can switch later.

The two credit types matter for picking a plan. Message credits cover AI build and edit work and are metered by the size of the change, not the length of your prompt. Integration credits cover built-in features like email, image generation, and LLM calls. A helpful detail: if you plug in your own external API keys, those calls do not consume your integration credits, which can stretch a lower tier further.

The practical way to choose is to start free, see how many credits your real workflow uses in a week, and upgrade to the smallest tier that comfortably covers it. There are no standalone credit top-ups, so you move up a plan when you need more, and you can start that test today at no cost.
