Base44 is a vibe-coding platform that lets anyone build fully functioning web apps by describing them in plain language. Unlike front-end-only generators, it provisions the whole stack in one place: interface, backend logic, database, user authentication, hosting and custom domains are all built in, so a prompt becomes a deployable product without stitching together external services.
From solo bootstrap to $80M Wix acquisition
Founded by Israeli engineer Maor Shlomo (previously co-founder of Explorium), Base44 grew to over 400,000 users and past $1M ARR within weeks of launch — entirely bootstrapped. In June 2025, Wix acquired the six-month-old company for $80M in cash, with additional earn-outs tied to revenue milestones, making it one of the fastest solo-founder exits in AI.
What you can build
Users create internal tools, dashboards, CRMs, customer portals, games and SaaS products. The platform includes built-in analytics, one-click integrations with tools like Slack, Gmail and HubSpot, support for custom API connections, and agentic features that automate multi-step workflows. A free tier with monthly message credits makes it easy to prototype before upgrading.
