Step 1 | Describe your ideaStart by going to Base44 and telling it what you want to build in your own words.For example, you can type “a simple to-do list,” “a client portal where users can log in,” or anything else you have in mind. Share as many details as you like. This first prompt helps get your app started, and you can always add more features or make changes later.

Step 2 | See your app come to lifeOnce you share your idea, Base44’s AI handles the rest. It automatically designs your app’s appearance, choosing colors, arranging buttons, and organizing menus to make everything look clean and function smoothly. If you need special pages or features like a calendar, forms, or a task list, Base44 adds those right away so your app is ready to use.All the complex parts are also taken care of for you in the background. Base44 securely stores all your app’s data, manages account and login systems if you need them, and keeps the technology that powers your app running smoothly. You do not need to set up or manage anything yourself; Base44 handles every detail so you can focus on your ideas.

Watch your app appear in the preview window as Base44 works. You can explore your app right away and try out any features by clicking the preview.

Step 3
Customize your appOnce your app is built, you can make it truly your own. The easiest way is with the AI chat. Just type what you want to change or add, and Base44 updates your app for you. For example, you can say “Change the main color to green,” or “Add a signup page that collects full name and company.”
If you want to brainstorm or ask questions first, use Discuss mode in the AI chat. Discuss mode lets you talk about your ideas without making changes until you are ready. This mode also uses less credits. Learn more about the different AI chat modes.

FAQs
What's included in the free plan?
The free plan gives you a daily allowance of 5 messages and a monthly cap of 25 messages total. With the free plan, you have access to all core integration types, allowing you to build fully functional applications with user authentication, data storage, and more, all at no cost.

You also get 500 integration credits, which are used when a user of the app takes an action that requires the app to leverage any integration, such as calling an LLM. 

 
What are integration credits?
Integration credits are what allow your users to access Base44's various integrations within your application. These integrations include LLMs, file uploading, image understanding, image generation, email sending, SMS sending, database querying, and many more. 

Credits are used when a user of the app takes an action that requires the app to leverage integrations. For example, if an action in your app results in an LLM call, that is one integration credit. 
Each integration request costs 1 credit, regardless of which integration you're using.


What happens if I reach my plan limits?
To avoid interruptions in your app development and usage, you can upgrade to a higher tier plan with increased limits at any time from your billing dashboard.

 
If you are not ready to upgrade and reach your daily message limit, you can wait until the next day to send more messages. If you hit your monthly limit, you won't be able to send additional messages or make integration requests until the beginning of your next billing cycle
