Base44 vs Lovable,for a small live app.

For your own domain, a database, about 2,000 visits and 20 edits a month: Base44 is $20 a month on Starter and Lovable $25 on Pro, billed monthly. Base44 sells no extra credits: out of message credits, you wait for the monthly reset or upgrade (docs.base44.com, Credits). Lovable Pro’s 100 credits roll over for a month, and 50 more cost $15; Free can’t buy more (docs.lovable.dev/introduction/credit-top-ups).

Base44 puts hosting in the plan price, with no fees beyond it; services an app calls outside Base44 bill on their own (base44.com/pricing). Every Base44 app has a database, and reading or writing it uses no credits; an app holds 200 MB on Free and 2 GB on Starter (docs.base44.com, Managing your app data). Lovable includes hosting: a live site uses no credits on its own and no plan caps visitors or bandwidth; its backend draws on credits after a 20-credit monthly Cloud grant (docs.lovable.dev/features/hosting). Lovable Cloud gives each app a database, sign-in, storage and functions, built on Supabase; larger database sizes cost more credits an hour, at rates the app shows rather than publishes (docs.lovable.dev/features/cloud).

On Base44 your own domain needs Starter, $20 a month; yearly plans include a domain free for a year, monthly ones don’t (docs.base44.com, Setting up your custom domain). Hiding the “Edit with Base44” badge needs Starter (docs.base44.com, Managing access). On Lovable, connecting your own domain needs Pro, $25 a month; every plan publishes free on lovable.app (docs.lovable.dev/introduction/subscription-plans). Removing the “Edit with Lovable” badge needs Pro (docs.lovable.dev/introduction/subscription-plans).

Base44’s GitHub two-way sync and ZIP export need Builder, $50 a month, and its docs say exported code still relies on Base44 to run (docs.base44.com, Developer tools). Lovable’s Git sync with GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket is on every plan, Free included; downloading the code needs Pro (docs.lovable.dev/introduction/subscription-plans).

A small live app: your own domain, a database, about 2,000 visits and 20 edits a month. For each builder it’s the cheapest plan that puts an app on your own domain, billed monthly, from its own pricing page on October 24, 2026; usage past a plan’s credits costs more. On NoClick every service is at cost: hosting $0.02 at $1.90 per million requests, the database under a cent, and 20 edits $2.02, at the 10¢ an edit measured on the app pictured, which cost 10¢ to build from one message. That’s $2.04 of usage, inside the $5 a month Free includes, so the bill is $0; Member is $25 a month and removes NoClick’s badge. NoClick charges every service at what it costs NoClick, with nothing added. Free includes $1 of usage a day, up to $5 a month, and adds a 15% fee when you add funds for more. Member is $25 a month with $10 of usage included, a 5% fee on funds, and no NoClick badge on your apps. Your own domain connects on either plan; a .com bought through NoClick is $12.99 the first year (buying one needs a $5 balance from funds you’ve added).

Yes: NoClick. Text it the app you want; it goes live. NoClick hosts at cost: a small app with 2,000 visits a month is about 2¢, and its SQLite database (or Postgres) is priced by size and rows. NoClick connects your own domain on Free: you add the two DNS records it gives you. NoClick shows a “Built with NoClick” badge on Free; Member, $25 a month, removes it. An app you built elsewhere comes over from its GitHub repo.
