How much does Base44 cost, and why creators pick Sticklight

So, what does Base44 cost in July 2026? Based on the pricing listed on Base44’s own site, Base44 runs from a free plan up to an Elite tier at $200 a month, or $160 a month if you pay annually, with a custom Enterprise quote above that for larger teams. Every paid plan layers two kinds of usage credits on top of the flat subscription: message credits for the AI conversation that builds your app, and integration credits for what the app does once it is live. Public pricing pages shift, so treat these figures as a snapshot rather than gospel.

We build Sticklight, so we are not a neutral bystander here, but every Base44 number below is cited and dated. After we walk through what Base44 charges, we will show how Sticklight prices its own plans, which scale with seats and features rather than metered credits.

• Base44’s public tiers run from Free ($0) to Elite ($200/mo, or $160/mo billed annually), per Base44’s pricing page.
• Every paid Base44 plan combines a subscription with two credit pools: message credits for building and integration credits for runtime actions.
• Base44’s Enterprise pricing is not publicly listed as a number. It is a custom “talk to sales” quote.
• Sticklight’s plans (Free, Pro, Team, Enterprise) scale with seats and feature access rather than credit consumption, with bring-your-own-keys available on select plans.
• Sticklight pairs the build flow with packaged Skills, like Accessibility, SEO, and Performance, and shares Elementor’s mission of building on and connecting to a WordPress or Elementor site, with direct site import on the roadmap.
• Treat every number below as a July 2026 snapshot, and confirm current figures on Base44’s own site before you budget.

How much does Base44 cost today

Base44’s paid plans start at $16 a month billed annually, or $20 a month if you pay month to month, according to Base44’s pricing page and the Base44 blog post “How much does Base44 cost.” From there, pricing climbs through three more tiers, Builder, Pro, and Elite, up to $200 a month ($160 a month annually) at the top of the published range. Annual billing carries roughly a 20% discount against the monthly rate on every paid plan.

There is also a Free plan at $0, which Base44’s pricing page describes as including core features, authentication, and database functionality, capped at up to five apps. Enterprise sits above Elite and is not priced publicly. Base44 routes larger teams to a sales conversation instead of a listed number.

Base44’s public pricing tiers at a glance

The table below reflects the plan names, prices, and monthly credit allowances published on Base44’s pricing page and the Base44 blog. It’s a snapshot, not a live feed, so verify current numbers on Base44’s own site before you commit to a plan.

A few plan-specific notes worth knowing before you pick a tier. Builder and up add GitHub integration. Starter and up allow in-app code edits and backend functions. Both details come from Base44’s pricing page.

How Base44’s message and integration credits work

Base44 uses a dual-credit system layered on top of the flat subscription. Message credits are spent while you are building, meaning every prompt you send to shape or edit the app draws from that pool, and Base44’s own site notes that more complex prompts draw down the pool faster than simple tweaks. Integration credits are a separate pool spent while the finished app is running, covering actions like sending an email, generating an image, or making an AI request from inside the live product.

According to the Base44 blog post on pricing, going over your monthly credit allowance means upgrading to the next tier or waiting for the billing cycle to reset. Base44 does not publish exact conversion rates, such as how many message credits a single prompt costs or how many integration credits a specific action consumes. If that level of detail matters for your budget, it is worth confirming directly with Base44 before you commit to a tier.

What Base44’s public pages don’t spell out yet

A few questions a founder or developer would naturally ask were not answered on the pages we checked, so we are flagging them rather than filling in the blanks.

• Overall user or revenue figures for Base44 show up in secondary coverage, not on Base44’s own site or in Wix’s June 2025 press release announcing the acquisition, so we are not repeating them here as Base44’s own numbers.
• Base44’s blog states that builders retain full intellectual property rights to what they create, and GitHub integration ships on Builder and up, but a clear statement of the full scope of code export or self-hosting was not on the pages we reviewed.
• Exact credit-to-action conversion rates are described qualitatively, not published as fixed numbers.
• Whether the listed prices include or exclude tax, or vary by region, was not stated on the pages we checked.

None of this is a knock on Base44. Pricing pages leave things out for all sorts of reasons, and these are good questions to ask directly if they matter for your project.

How Sticklight’s pricing works instead

Sticklight takes a different structural approach: plans that scale with seats and feature access, not with how many messages you send or how many actions your app performs. The lineup runs Free, Pro, Team, and Enterprise, each opening up more collaborators, more Skills, and more capacity as you move up, rather than metering usage against a credit pool.

Select plans also support bring-your-own-keys, so teams that already run their own LLM accounts can plug those in for cost control. We are intentionally not stating dollar figures for Sticklight in this article. Current numbers live on Sticklight’s own pricing page, and that is the place to check before you budget a project.

Why founders and developers pick Sticklight for the build itself

Pricing structure is one piece of the decision. What you can actually build, and how much control you keep once the AI is done with its first pass, tends to matter more. Here’s Sticklight’s answer: a vibe-coding platform aimed at professional web creators, made by the same team behind Elementor and running on Claude. A prompt can turn into a production-ready website, app, dashboard, CMS, or internal tool, following a Prompt, Build, Publish flow that keeps the creator in the loop at every step.

Skills are live today, covering areas like Accessibility, SEO, Design System, and Performance. Each one packages expert know-how, like WCAG-compliant markup or on-page SEO best practices, into a single click added to any prompt during the Build phase. Agents are on the roadmap and labeled coming soon, not something we claim is live today.

Once the AI does its first pass, Sticklight hands back full control. You can edit every pixel by hand or drop into direct code editing on the canvas, so the build stays a starting point rather than a black box. And because Sticklight shares Elementor’s mission of building on and connecting to WordPress, teams already running on WordPress can look at Sticklight as an addition to that setup, with a direct import path for an existing site on the roadmap.

Base44 vs Sticklight: matching the model to your project

Base44’s agent-driven, prompt-to-app flow is built around producing a working application, database, and hosting from natural language, with usage priced by the credit. That fits a founder shipping one focused app who wants the build and the runtime metered together in a single subscription.

Sticklight’s model fits a different pattern: agencies and studios producing client sites, dashboards, and tools across many surfaces at once, teams that add seats as they grow, and builders who want their AI-assisted work to build on a WordPress or Elementor site they already maintain, with direct site import on the roadmap. Seat-and-feature pricing means the cost does not shift every time usage climbs, useful once you run more than one project through the same account.

Neither model is the “right” one in the abstract. The choice comes down to what you’re pricing: a single app’s usage, or a growing team’s access to a full-stack build platform.

We gathered Base44’s pricing, plan names, and credit allowances for this article in July 2026 from Base44’s pricing page and Base44’s own post on pricing. Public pages change often, so it’s worth checking base44.com for the current details before you decide.
