Summary
Our read
- Where it fits best: Simple internal apps with data and login, no setup.
- Ease (5/5): A non-coder can realistically get from a blank prompt to a working, shareable tool with login and stored data in one sitting.
- Hosting: included (Built-in hosting, database, auth, analytics). That shortens setup; it also means your app and its data live on Base44's platform.
- Metering to watch: live apps consume integration credits. Set a monthly spending cap before you start.
