Comparison
NeoBuild vs Base44
Base44 is a strong all-in-one: it generates the UI, backend logic, database, auth and deployment, and bundles email, SMS and AI calls behind its own credits. NeoBuild takes the opposite trade — fewer built-in services, but a React (Vite) project and a Supabase database that are yours from day one.
Choose Base44 when you want the most batteries included and are happy for the platform to run the services your app depends on. Choose NeoBuild when portability is the priority: your own Supabase project, a published per-token price instead of credits, and a React codebase you can take elsewhere without unpicking platform services.

Who should choose which?
Choose NeoBuild if you need
- You want the database to be your own Supabase project, not a platform-managed one
- You want a published unit price ($1 per million tokens) rather than metered credits
- You want a plain React (Vite) codebase that runs without platform-specific services
- You are building SME ops tools: inventory, approvals, quotations, client portals
Choose Base44 if you need
- You want built-in email, SMS, image generation and AI calls without wiring them yourself
- You would rather the platform manage auth, hosting and the database for you
- You value the backing of a large public company (Wix acquired Base44 in 2025)
- You are shipping a self-contained app and portability is not a near-term concern

Base44Wix acquired Base44 in 2025; we are a small independent company.
Database ownership
NeoBuildYour own Supabase project rather than a platform-managed database.
Portability of the exported app

Cost predictability
NeoBuildOne published token rate rather than two separate credit meters.
Where NeoBuild loses to Base44
Reasons to pick Base44 instead, written by the people who built the alternative. If one of these matters more to you than anything below, go with them.
- Base44 bundles email, SMS, image generation and AI calls; you wire those up yourself here
- Base44 manages auth, hosting and the database for you — less to arrange
- Wix's backing means more resources behind the product than we have
- For a self-contained app where portability is not a concern, Base44 gets there with less setup
Pricing, side by side
Base44 figures taken from their own pricing page, checked 4 September 2026. Plans change often — confirm there before deciding.
| NeoBuild | Base44 | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 1,000,000 AI tokens, no card | Free Forever plan with a small credit allowance |
| Entry paid plan | No subscription | Roughly $16–$20/month at the entry tier |
| How usage is metered | $1 (₹100) per million AI tokens | Two meters: message credits and integration credits |
| Bundled services | You connect your own | Email, SMS, image generation and AI calls included |
Moving between them
Export from Base44 on a paid plan, then expect to replace the Base44-hosted pieces — database, auth and any bundled email or SMS — with your own services, since exported apps can still call back to them. Leaving NeoBuild involves none of that: the Supabase project is already in your account and the React app has no dependency on us.

Is NeoBuild a good Base44 alternative?
It is, if your reason for looking is ownership. Base44 is an all-in-one platform that runs your database, auth and integrations. NeoBuild generates a React (Vite) project you can export as a ZIP or sync to GitHub, on a Supabase project registered to you — so moving the app later does not mean replacing platform services.
Can I export my code from Base44?
Base44 offers code export on its paid plans and a GitHub integration that has been in beta. Reviewers have noted that exported apps can still depend on Base44-hosted services, so an export is not automatically a fully portable app. NeoBuild's output is a standard React (Vite) project backed by your own Supabase project.
How does pricing compare?
Base44 has a free tier and paid plans, and meters usage as message credits and integration credits. NeoBuild publishes a unit rate instead: 1,000,000 AI tokens free to start, then $1 (₹100) per million tokens, with no monthly subscription. Which is cheaper depends entirely on your usage — the difference is that one is a rate you can calculate in advance.
Who owns Base44?
Wix acquired Base44 in 2025. That brings the resources of a large public company; it also means the platform's roadmap sits inside a bigger product strategy. NeoBuild is built by Techbilla Software, an independent company in Chennai, India.
