What is included with Base44 out of the box?
Quick answer
Base44 is an all-in-one builder, so almost everything is bundled: a managed database, built-in authentication, hosting with automatic HTTPS and custom domains, serverless backend functions, and 20-plus integrations, all generated from a plain-English description. You describe the app and it builds the frontend, database schema, and UI for you.
The headline is that Base44 includes the whole stack out of the box, which is the main reason people pick it. You describe your app in plain English, sometimes called vibe coding, and it generates the React frontend, a database schema, and the UI. You do not assemble services or wire up infrastructure. That bundling is the core value: one platform, everything handled.
Concretely, here is what comes included. A managed NoSQL database. Built-in authentication with email, social login, and role-based access. Managed hosting with automatic HTTPS and the ability to connect a custom domain (paid plans include a free domain for the first year). Serverless backend functions running on the Deno runtime, plus WebSockets for realtime features. And 20-plus built-in integrations, plus custom OpenAPI integrations where your keys are proxied server-side so they are not exposed to the frontend.
On top of the plumbing, Base44 bundles built-in email sending and AI text and image generation, metered through integration credits. This means you can add features like sending a confirmation email or generating images without signing up for and stitching in separate third-party services. Using your own external API keys does not consume integration credits, which helps if you scale.
Who is this bundle right for? Founders building MVPs, internal tools, dashboards, customer portals, and simple SaaS with CRUD and payments. If you want to ship without becoming a DevOps engineer, having auth, database, and hosting handled in one place is a genuine accelerator. It is web-first, so it is a great fit for web apps and responsive designs.
Who might want more? If you need to self-host the full backend, or you want a completely standalone exportable codebase, Base44 is more platform-managed than a tool like Lovable. The best way to see the bundle in action is the free plan at $0. Build one small app and you will quickly feel how much is handled for you. As of 2026, confirm the exact included features and limits on the pricing page.
