Base44: Build with AI

Don’t even work also this is a fake app that just wants to steal you data so don’t download the real one has a 4.9 star rating

In July 2026, Base44's AI builder generated faulty code that consumed 16,384 integration credits — credits I paid for through my $100/month subscription — within minutes. I did not request or authorize this consumption. It was caused entirely by a malfunction in Base44's own AI system. When I reported the issue, Base44 support acknowledged the glitch but only restored 5,700 of the 16,384 credits, leaving a 10,684-credit shortfall. They then closed my ticket as "resolved" despite the issue remaining unresolved. Simultaneously, Base44's billing system prevented me from downgrading my subscription from the Pro plan ($100/month) to the Builder plan ($50/month) for over 48 hours. This system failure forced me into an unwanted $100 renewal that directly benefited Base44 financially. During the platform outage that followed, investors visiting my website found it blank. I was embarrassed in front of people backing my vision, and my reputation as a young founder was damaged. I have a partnership meeting with a youth nonprofit scheduled for July 29, and seven additional partnerships in progress — all requiring a functioning platform. Base44's support team then offered a "resolution": a $47 refund and a downgrade to the Builder plan. However, when presenting the downgrade details, Taylor highlighted 690 MESSAGE credits as a benefit — a credit type I barely use — while making no mention of restoring the integration credits actually need. My platform's core features (Al coaching, lesson generation, speech tools) all run on integration credits, not message credits. On my current Pro plan, I have 25,700 integration credits and have used 310 this cycle. The Builder plan provides significantly fewer integration credits. Downgrading without restoring the 10,684 integration credits destroyed by Base44's own Al would leave my platform unable to run its core features, effectively forcing me to remain on the more expensive $100 Pro plan - which is exactly what Base44's offer accomplished. Base44's Terms of Service state that credits consumed due to platform errors "will not be restored, re-credited, or refunded." However, they already restored 5,700 credits — proving they CAN restore credits destroyed by their own errors. Their refusal to restore the remaining 10,684 is not a policy limitation; it's a choice. They are selectively applying their own terms to minimize their losses at my expense.
