What does the Wix acquisition mean for Base44 users?

Wix acquired Base44 in June 2025 in a deal reported at about $80M cash, structured on milestones through 2029. At acquisition the startup was only about 6 months old with roughly 250,000 users, which is why the deal drew attention: a solo founder, Maor Shlomo, built something big enough for a public company to buy quickly. For users, the headline is stability. You are now building on a platform backed by an established, well-resourced parent.

Crucially, Base44 continues to run as its own product post-acquisition rather than being folded away. Its engine is being integrated into Wix, but Base44 remains a standalone builder you use directly. That means the all-in-one, no-code workflow you sign up for, the plain-English app generation, the bundled database, auth, and hosting, keeps working as its own thing.

For legitimacy and longevity, the acquisition is a plus. A common worry with fast-growing startups is whether they will still exist in a year. Ownership by a large public company reduces that risk considerably and signals that the product is being invested in for the long term. Base44 is also reported to have surpassed $100M ARR by early 2026, so it is a growing business, not a stalled one.

There is no need to change how you evaluate the product because of the deal. The pricing tiers, the free plan, and the export options work the same way. If anything, the Wix backing is a reason to feel more confident about building something real on the platform rather than less.

The practical takeaway: the acquisition strengthens the case for Base44, especially for founders who want a durable, well-funded platform. The best way to see the current product for yourself is to start on the free plan and build a small slice of your idea at $0. Details here are as of 2026, so confirm specifics on the pricing page.
