Straight Answers About Base44

The limits, costs, and escape routes that matter once your Base44 app becomes real. Written from the migrations we run every week — no fluff, no sales pitch up front.

Ownership

Does Base44 Own Your App? Here’s How to Actually Own It

On paper your app is yours. In practice you can’t take the database, users, or backend off Base44’s servers — so you can’t host it yourself, sell it cleanly, or stop paying without losing it.

SEO

Base44 SEO: How to Get Your App to Show Up on Google

Your Base44 app can get indexed — but you’re doing SEO with one hand tied. The pages are client-rendered JS on infrastructure you don’t control. Here’s the ceiling and the fix.

Exit strategy

How to Cancel Base44 Without Losing Your App

Canceling is the easy part — your app stops working the moment you do. The safe order: inventory, pull everything portable, rebuild on infrastructure you own, and cancel last.

Switching builders

Moving from Base44 to Lovable? Read This First

There’s no import button between AI builders. What actually transfers when you switch, what doesn’t, and why it restarts the lock-in cycle instead of ending it.

Compliance

Is Base44 HIPAA Compliant? The Honest Answer

Security certifications aren’t HIPAA compliance, and there’s no public evidence Base44 signs BAAs. What that means if your app touches patient data.

Mobile

Can You Put a Base44 App on the App Store?

Base44 builds web apps; the App Store doesn’t list websites. The wrapper route, what it doesn’t give you for free, and the cleaner path: migrate first, then go native.

Account help

How to Sign Out of Base44

Signing out takes ten seconds and changes nothing about your app. The steps on web and mobile, how to sign out everywhere at once, and what signing out doesn’t do.

Pricing

Base44 Pricing: What It Costs and When to Leave

Free to start, then plans priced by message and integration credits. What each plan buys, what burns credits fastest, and the point where the meter stops being worth it.

Trust

Is Base44 Safe? Security vs. Control of Your Data

Base44 states SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification — but safety is also control. The honest split between platform security and the backups, database access, and keys you never hold.

Exit strategy

How to Delete a Base44 Account (and Save Your App First)

Deleting is permanent: a 7-day scheduled deletion removes your account, your apps, and their data. The steps from Base44’s own docs, what to export first, and the migrate-instead route.

Compliance

Base44 DPA: Your Data Processing Agreement, Explained

Yes, Base44 has a DPA — available on request. What it covers, how to get a signed copy, sub-processors and data residency — and the honest limit: a DPA governs processing, not portability.

Agency buyers

Base44 for Agencies: Client Apps You Actually Own

On Base44, the agency owns the workspace and the workspace owns the app. The handoff traps, billing gotchas, and the migrate-a-client-app route for agencies shipping client work.

Agent apps

Base44 Superagents: What Moves When You Leave

A Base44 Superagent is workflows, schedules, tool connections, and memory — and none of those come along in an app export. What breaks on migration, and the rebuild route.

Money apps

Base44 Stripe Payments: What Migrates With You

Selling on a Base44 app splits your money system in two: the money data lives in Stripe, the wiring lives in Base44. What moves, what breaks, and the rebuild order.

Teams

Base44 Workspaces and Teams: Moving Together

A Base44 workspace is the people, the roles, and the shared credits — and none of that structure is in the export. What breaks when a team migrates, and the rebuild route.

Your data

Does Base44 Back Up Your App? What It Saves

Automatic backups, yes — but table records only, on eligible plans, and they never leave Base44. What’s covered, what isn’t (files, users), and how to keep your own copy.

Your domain

Base44 Custom Domain: What Happens to It When You Leave

The domain is yours in all three cases — but the exit procedure depends on whether you bought it through Base44 (Wix, GoDaddy, or IONOS era) or connected one you owned. The order that keeps it yours.

Branding vs ownership

Base44 White Label: What It Covers (and What It Hides)

White label hides the branding, not the dependency: every app still lives in your enterprise workspace and runs on Base44's servers. The honest guide for agencies and platform builders.

Switching builders

Moving from Base44 to Replit? Read This First

Replit fixes the two things Base44 won't give you — a real repo and a dumpable Postgres database. But the credits are still metered, and it's still a rental. The honest fork.

SaaS founders

Can You Build a SaaS on Base44? The Honest Answer

Yes — for the MVP. Real multi-tenancy is where it breaks: Base44's own field report documents the RLS limits, and tenant isolation is manual, not automatic. The honest split.

File & media migration

Base44 File Storage: Where Your Files Live

Your files live outside the database, outside the backups, public by default — and the code export leaves them behind. The honest split, and how files move.
